👋Hey guys! Today I bring you a guide to local food in Xiamen’s eight cities, which is guaranteed to make you satisfied and happy with your meals! I have been a gourmet for 20 years at the Eighth Market, and this route will definitely make your trip worthwhile! 🦀The first place to check in is Sheng Shang Qing Seafood Stir-Fry! This is a popular old brand, with clear prices, freshly caught and killed, so it’s incredibly fresh! The must-have three-piece set is coming: 1️⃣ Xiamen ginger duck, as soon as the casserole is served, the sizzling sound of oil makes people salivate! The ginger slices are crispy and fragrant, the duck meat is tender and crispy, and even the bones are full of fragrance. It is simply delicious! 2️⃣The signature boiled three fresh delicacies. The bowl is bigger than a washbasin, filled with freshly caught shrimps, lean meat and clams. It is cooked in the spicy soup base and tastes so satisfying! 3️⃣ Steamed egg with clams. The tender and smooth steamed egg contains delicious clams. The sand is spit out cleanly and the taste is fresh. Even children enjoy it! 🍜Next is the satay noodles from Ajie's store in Bashi. You must try the hidden way of eating it: add five-spice strips, Dongshan squid, and fish balls. The taste is amazing! The soup is a mixture of old-fashioned peanut butter and curry. The squid rings, which are thicker than an iPhone, are especially crispy, tender and chewy. It is said that 20 kilograms of shrimp heads are used to make the soup every day! 🍢Ajie Five Spice is also a delicacy that you cannot miss. The street bomb costs 4 yuan each. The bean curd skin is wrapped with onions and meat and fried crispy. You must ask the aunt to cut it open and pour the hot sauce on it. The gravy that bursts out is simply irresistible! 🍪Finally, let’s have some dessert. Ajizi Pie is a time-honored souvenir shop in Xiamen. It has a variety of special pies. The salty and sweet mung bean filling is paired with Tieguanyin, which is a perfect match! Grandpa and grandma carried boxes of them back home! 🗺️In Eight Markets, getting lost is the real deal! Oyster omelette, Manchurian fried cake and earthworm jelly are just around the corner, and every bite has the authentic Xiamen flavor. Come to Bashi and start this food journey with me!

Hello everyone! Today I want to share a food tour in Xiamen 🧳🌟This trip is centered around food and photography. Let’s review this unforgettable trip together! In the morning, we took the bullet train 🚄 from Hangzhou, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, and finally arrived in Xiamen in the afternoon. Since we booked a room on Ctrip in advance, we originally planned to stay near Zhongshan Road for easy travel. ‍♀️But we encountered some problems after arriving⚠️The hotel could not be found on Gaode Map, and we could not get in by taxi. We searched for a long time before we found out that the hotel was under renovation and was located on the fourth floor without an elevator😮 ‍💨What can I do? We decided to change our residence, so we took a taxi directly to Zengcuoan. In the evening we came to the Eighth Market in Xiamen, where there are many special foods for us to feast on. The first one is the Ajie Five Spices in the Eighth Market. Although I personally feel that its taste is a bit strange, my fellow sisters all think it is good. Then we tasted Zhu Ji's Shredded Chicken 🍗, which was very tasty and I highly recommend it! The A-Long Shacha Meat Skewers 🍖 was also one of our choices, although not particularly impressive, it was still delicious. At Xinwutang Seafood City, Fried Crab with Ginger Duck, we tasted a variety of seafood. They all tasted similar and satisfied our craving for seafood. Zhu Xigenman Fried Cake 🍞 is a snack bar. I think the sesame flavor is better. I suggest you try it first and don’t buy too much. The Sisi Egg Burger 🍔 has a special taste. Although the taste is not very profound, it is still worth a try. The chicken legs at Cao Ji's Long Braid Auntie 🍗 are very good. It is near Sixi. In addition to delicious food, we certainly can't miss the tour of Xiamen Island🚶 ‍♀️We took a lot of beautiful photos on the beach in front of Zengcuoan. The sisters all look so beautiful‼ ️Especially when the weather is good, the sunrise and sunset at the beach are absolutely beautiful! For transportation, we chose to take a taxi 🚖 for the whole journey, which was very convenient and the cost was not too high💰 In general, this food trip in Xiamen was really unforgettable and full of surprises. 🌟If you are also a travel enthusiast, you must come to Xiamen to try these special foods and feel the pleasure brought by the food and scenery! Remember to check the hotel reviews in advance to avoid unexpected situations😊✨

Xiamen's five-day and four-night trip The sea breeze blows, leisurely and comfortable The blooming phoenix flowers and bougainvillea The years of precipitation and vitality in the streets and alleys The full atmosphere of the lawn concert The delicious and not greasy Satay noodles invade the taste buds This city favored by the sea is worth visiting many times Looking for food: · Shapowei · Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street · Bashi · Shigu Road Immersive experience: · Baicheng Beach · Huangcuo Beach · Ten-mile long embankment · Jimei School Village · Nanputuo Temple · Gulangyu · Zhonggu Cableway · Island cycling Oyster omelette, pork loin, Huiyuan fried bread, Zhong Lijun full pancake, Rongmei ginger duck, dried vegetable cake and coated tofu on Shigu Road... Try one, since you are here, just taste it haha~ The souffle at Shapowei, Q bomb soft and fluffy, the taste is like a cloud. Must go to eat! The Musang King durian on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is fragrant and soft. A friend tried durian for the first time and fell in love with it! She also sincerely sighed that the taste was not as "smelly" as she imagined, and it was surprisingly delicious~ The freshly peeled coconut egg, I have been thinking about it for a long time! I always feel that the white coconut meat outside will be delicious, but in fact, after eating two or three bites, I start to feel greasy, and I feel like chewing raw coconut oil haha. I don't know when I will go next time. Leave a thought first~
