Xiamen belongs to the southern Fujian region, also known as "Ludao", is a very beautiful tourist city. Xiamen is divided into the island and outside the island, 4 districts outside the island, two districts inside the island, generally we go to Xiamen to travel to the island.
Xiamen and Taiwan are across the sea, and the lights of the Golden Gate can be seen at night at the seaside such as the Convention and Exhibition Center. Xiamen is full of literary atmosphere, and was called the "Hawaii of the East" by Nixon.
As a tourist city, Xiamen is known for its more famous attractions such as Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo and Xiamen University. I remember that in Xiamen before, I often went to Xiamen University and Nanputuo to play, and then went to the ferry to take a boat to Gulangyu Island for a walk. At that time, to go to Gulangyu Island, you only need to spend 8 yuan for a return ferry ticket. After returning from Gulangyu Island by boat, I will go through the underground passage of the ferry with my friends to Taiwan Street to eat a variety of foods. Then cross the eighth market to take the BRT back to Mucuo.
It has been many years since I left Xiamen, friends have been calling over there to play, my sister is still living in Xiamen, but there is no time to pass, today I will take stock of the food I learned when I was in Xiamen.
<h1>First, the soil shoot jelly</h1>
I believe that many people who have never been to Xiamen do not know what it is. Soil shoot jelly, originated in Quanzhou, but in Xiamen is very common, before often see some aunts carrying the thermos pot to sell soil shoot jelly, do not know whether there is now. What is more impressive is that there is an old aunt selling bamboo shoot jelly on Siming North Road, often sold until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, when working nearby, often after work, I will buy soil shoot jelly there to eat.
Clay shoot jelly is said to have been invented by Zheng Chenggong, and it contains colloids. The main raw material is a worm in the sea, which seems to be a sandworm, which is boiled and the gum in the sandworm is dissolved in water, and then cooled and condensed into a lump. The prepared bamboo shoot jelly needs to be placed in the refrigerator to prevent melting. When eaten with some soy sauce, aged vinegar and minced garlic, sprinkled with a little coriander and sour radish is very delicious. If you have a heavier taste, you can try to put a little more mustard.
<h1>2. Fry the spices</h1>
Fried spring rolls are available in many places, but in Xiamen it is called fried five spices. Fried five spices is a traditional snack in Fujian, which is made in many breakfast restaurants in Xiamen. In the past, when I lived in Mucuo and Jiangtou Houpu, I would often eat a bowl of porridge for breakfast, then fry a salted duck egg, order a small dish, and then a fried spice, thinking that the breakfast at that time was really hearty, and the price was also very cheap.
Fried five spices are made by the frying method, when fried, the raw blanks should be slowly put into the oil pan, and when frying, they should be constantly turned over to make it heated evenly. The fried five-spiced, the appearance is russet brown, fresh and crispy, very delicious. Eat a small piece of spices, and then a bite of porridge, delicious!
<h1>3. Sea oyster frying</h1>
Oyster fried oyster oyster oyster, a classic dish from southern Fujian, Taiwan and Chaoshan regions. Chaoshan is generally called oyster frying. The ingredients are mainly sea oysters, eggs, sweet potato powder, the production method is also very simple, basically look at the online tutorial, you can also make it at home. The taste is very good, In addition to the sea oyster frying, there is also a bitter melon fried, which is also particularly delicious.
I don't know exactly where this dish originated, but I often eat it when I was in Xiamen, and I like it myself. In the past, in Mucuo, I had dinner with friends who ran business together, and at that time, I was doing building materials in Jijiajia World, there was no money to run business, three people ate fast food together, and everyone ordered a dish. Often will order sea oyster fried, it seems to be seven dollars or eight dollars a plate, now may be more than a dozen dollars a plate, I really want to go back and eat together again.
<h1>4. Peanut soup</h1>
Peanut soup is said to be a special snack in Xiamen, but it is not the same. It belongs to a traditional spot in the minnan region of Fujian Province, and the main ingredients are peanuts, eggs and sugar. Its main ingredients are peanuts, eggs, sugar and so on. The method is to soak the peanuts in boiling water and then remove the film, then add water, put them in a casserole dish and boil over low heat, slowly until the peanuts are rotten. Serve with some sweet and savoury snacks. After the peanut soup is prepared, the peanut kernels are crisp and melted in the mouth, the soup color is milky white, sweet and refreshing.
It is said that Xiamen's yellow is more famous than peanut soup, and I forget whether I ate it at that time. I've always liked to walk the streets and eat food in small shops, and more than a decade ago, I was poor at that time. What is very impressive is that the silver heron peanut milk that can be bought everywhere in Xiamen was not used to eating when I first went to Xiamen, and then I slowly liked the taste, and when I first arrived in Guangdong, I still missed the taste of silver heron peanut milk. My dad couldn't eat it and might be allergic to one of the ingredients inside. After eating peanut milk, I will also use the jar as an ashtray, which is very convenient.
<h1>5. Dough batter</h1>
Noodle batter is a snack that is eaten very much in Xiamen, made of fine noodles and sweet potato flour. At that time, my father lived in the back pit, and when I used to play on his side, he worked overtime at night, and I would pack a piece of noodle paste and go back. It seems that there is a very famous one in the eighth market, and I have eaten it once in the morning, and there are many people who can add various ingredients, such as large intestine, small intestine, shrimp, brine eggs, sausages, etc.
The noodle batter in Xiamen tastes a bit like the oil noodles in our hometown, which is why my dad and I like it. After the pit that family does not know whether it is still open, there is to go back to Xiamen, must go to see. There is also a family on Siming South Road, which is made at one or two o'clock in the evening, and the taste is similar, which may be that the ingredients are a little different. In Dongguan, I also bought that kind of thin noodle line in the specialty store opened by the Chaoshan people, but I couldn't replicate the taste of Xiamen.
Maybe the snacks I am talking about are not fully representative of Xiamen's snacks, as well as shacha noodles, Tong'anfeng meat, ginger hen duck, roast meat dumplings, duck porridge and so on. But these snacks are very common in Xiamen and are easy to eat. There are also roadside gold and silver, Oden, mochi, salted bean flowers sold by grandmothers, and friends who travel to Xiamen can find opportunities to taste.
There are also a lot of seafood in Xiamen, and the taste is good and the price is cheap. Those humble small shops through the streets and alleys will always bring you different surprises. In Xiamen, you can safely taste a variety of delicacies without worrying about being slaughtered.
