When it comes to Xiamen cuisine, most people will think of Shacha noodles, but only the old Xiamen people will say that the taste of childhood is the bowl of shrimp noodles on the street!

<h1>Ancient craftsmanship has been passed down from three generations</h1>

In the 1930s, shrimp noodles have emerged, and there was a shrimp noodle stall every few steps on Datong Road at that time, just like the current situation of Shacha noodles.

Assi said: "70% of the people who come to eat are Xiamen natives, especially grandparents", eating this old taste that can evoke childhood memories. Neighbors and regular customers often come to the store to drink tea and chat.

<h1>"A thousand hammers and a hundred refinements" soup base is original</h1>

When it comes to shrimp noodles, we have to say its origin. Earlier, Xiamen fishermen went to sea, that is, to boil the soup with small shrimp, only add salt, and then eat with noodles or rice, and later this simple cooking method derived from shrimp noodles, the earliest snack in Xiamen.

The protagonist of the shrimp noodles is not shrimp or noodles, but the bowl of shrimp soup with a strong flavor.

The deliciousness of the shrimp soup comes entirely from the shrimp itself, without any addition of umami agents such as monosodium glutamate, so the selection of shrimp is very important. Assi said that the storefront was opened here on Dayuan Road because it was close to the seven cities and eight cities, which was convenient for the purchase of raw materials.

To make the soup base must be made with fresh dog shrimp (a breed of shrimp) shrimp head and shrimp shell, Assi are entrusted to the people to keep the wild dog shrimp salvaged from the open sea, which is one of the keys to ensuring taste.
