marketplace

Walk through the streets and alleys of The City, until you go straight through the Women's Street of Xiamen Jukou Lane, and you will see the opposite corner of the street that has been operating for more than 30 years - Lao Si Xi Sha Cha Grill.

The entrance to the storefront is not large, and two or three people can block the aisle. Less than 30 square rectangular storefront, placed nearly a dozen tables, from entering the store to sitting down feel that the space is a bit cramped, at a glance can see the people in the store, but it is precisely this cramped, more able to let the human body feel the estrangement of this society, in order to feel the most real city atmosphere of a city.

Store

The most famous thing in the shop is the Shacha Kebab, which has gone from five yuan a piece at the beginning to eighteen yuan a piece now, which carries the memories of three generations in the middle. Among them, there are also the obsessions of the old Xiamen people, but anyone who passes nearby must come to eat a portion and then go, not to occupy the stomach and to meet the problem of developing a hungry mouth since childhood.

And the essence of this shop is in this magical bowl of sand tea sauce, which is really addictive, and it is a universal assist to add flavor to other dishes.

Shacha meat skewers and shacha dipping sauce

Even those seemingly inconspicuous slices of toast that were pressed under the meat skewers and baked casually a few times, dipped in sand tea sauce and put in my mouth, made my eyes shine. Even I, a person who does not like to eat toast, at this moment, I want to immediately grab the next piece of toast and dip it into my mouth with shacha sauce and continue to feel this ancient and early taste of Xiamen.

If you're tired of eating skewers and bread, you can try the lettuce at the bottom and the pickled radish, cauliflower, cucumber, just the right amount of sour taste and the sauce of the tea, it is a perfect blend.

Meat skewers are eaten with shacha sauce

Although the menu simply says a satay kebab, we eat four different flavors, and we also eat the owner's intention for food behind the operation.

This may also answer why, in the torrent of the times, a city is constantly remodeling and rebuilding, so that a small storefront can still attract a group of loyal customers to stand there for decades.
