Si Bei Hua Sheng Tang

I bought some iced peanut soup, but forgot to take a photo. It was 10 yuan a cup, and it was delicious. It was so hot in August, and I felt cool after drinking it. It was in the shape of a milk tea cup.

Maybe this peanut soup is a more distinctive snack in Xiamen. I saw that canned food can be bought in supermarkets. One day, I passed by this store by car and found that there were many people queuing in front of this store. I saved this place on the navigation at that time. I came here to try it when I had time. Unexpectedly, there were two stores selling peanut soup at this intersection. Maybe I came a little early, and the peanut soup was still in the process of boiling. The boss said sorry, there is no cold one now, only hot one, which is relatively cheaper, just drink it slowly. I drank it briefly, and it was really good. When I left, I went to Siming Peanut Soup next door and bought a cup of cold one and took it away. To be honest, it might be the first time that I felt that Auntie's taste was better. By the way, the price of cold one is more expensive. I remember it was about ten yuan. By the way, I would like to ask my friends in Xiamen here, what level are these two stores in Xiamen?

When you come to Xiamen, you always have to go to the most lively place in Zhongshan Road, and you must come to the Peanut Soup Shop. Although it is a small shop along the street, it is very crowded during breakfast. It has various snacks, and peanut soup is indispensable. Foreign visitors come here because of its reputation. Generally, during weekdays, there are not too many people, but most of them eat standing up. There are not many other snacks, but there must be peanut soup. It is made with sticky and fragrant, light sweetness, and very delicious. I will come to taste it every time.

Quanzhou peanut soup uses simple ingredients, but the cooking method is meticulous. First, remove any damaged peanuts, soak them in boiling water to remove the skins, then add water and simmer in a clay pot over low heat. Sugar is added only after the peanuts are cooked through, and the soup is simmered until the peanuts are thoroughly tender. It can be served with sweet or savory snacks such as fried dough sticks, fried dates, chive boxes, meat buns, sweet buns, and fried glutinous rice balls – all are excellent choices.

The chive boxes were tender and crispy, the shrimp cakes were delicious, and the radish cake was soft and melt-in-your-mouth – all incredibly tasty!
