HAI SI JIN FENG

Tasting in the Ancient City Haisi Jinfeng, this shop became famous for selling Yuanxiao Yuan. The shop was very small at first. I remember that before the Lantern Festival, the boss lady would put a machine for rolling Yuanxiao Yuan at the door, and there would always be a lot of people queuing up. Their Yuanxiao Yuan is the same as the one my mother made when I was a child. Take a piece of filling and dip it in water, then roll it in glutinous rice flour. Repeat this process over and over again, and finally the pieces will become bigger and bigger, and become delicious Yuanxiao Yuan. Now many people don't make it themselves. So it's very convenient to buy from them. There are also taro paste and red and white meatballs. Their ginger taro meatballs are my favorite [Service] The service attitude of old shops seems to be like this, because the shop assistants are all aunties, some of them have good attitudes, and some are not so good.

I think it's delicious, the dough is chewy, but I've tried several before and I can't finish five.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, Quanzhou residents savor every season of this city with their tongues. ✏️Don't forget to try the local snacks, such as rice noodle soup, meat dumplings, four-fruit soup, vegetable cakes, and floating cakes—these are all flavors you can't take away from this city. 🤍 Quanzhou, blending local culture and local customs, has developed a unique Minnan cuisine. 💕 Its most distinctive features: non-spicy, light, and focused on the inherent flavor of the food. If you haven't tried fried oysters, noodle soup, or pickled turnips on the streets of Quanzhou, 🌯 you haven't really been to Quanzhou. Quanzhou's snacks are not to be taken away; they can only be tasted here.
