Ai Meng Lang answered the question uninvited. For delicious food, locals will go to Shuyou and Jiali (both of them offer a la carte Chinese food and Cantonese refreshments). There is Chaofucheng, which specializes in Hong Kong-style refreshments. The business is good. If you are a tourist or above, don’t go there. Stay here for a long time.

You can go try the Shacha Noodles. Recommended are Sili Shacha Noodles, 1980 Shacha, Lihua Shacha Noodles and Wutang (sound) Shacha. The owner is good at hype. It is famous but not affordable. According to the marketing teacher, she ate a bowl of 100 yuan.

Left and right, I felt so disillusioned that I didn’t want to eat a meal of Nanputuo vegetarian cakes, Gulangyu pies, dried meat, meat floss, and handmade rose nougat from a certain shop on the island (I forgot which one, but the one selling handmade nougat should be very popular).

Rare) I personally think that the horseshoe cakes in Tong'an Horse Lane are particularly delicious, but if you are not a self-driving tourist, there is probably no need to go there. The more famous Ximen bamboo shoot jelly, but I have eaten it many times. The difference between this thing is not big.

The food sold at the small counter on the fifth floor of the World Trade Center is not even more delicious. There are also three time-honored brands: Huang Zehe, Hao Qingxiang and Wu Zaitian... Huang Zehe has more stores and are generally smaller in scale. Hao Qingxiang probably has one main store on Hubin South Road (main road)

), Wu Zaitian’s is smaller in quantity and scale than the previous two, and there are some scattered ones between them...such as oyster omelette, Xiamen spring rolls, taro buns, etc. The above three basically have them, but there are no particularly famous shops in these small categories (just me)

As I know) Seafood If you want to eat seafood, you can go to Xiaoyan (food stall). So far, this one is pretty good... I haven’t found a better store yet.

There are actually quite a lot of seafood stalls in Xiamen... I haven't come across one that I particularly like, so I'm sorry that I can't answer many.

Update: Someone in the comments recommended the Ahua Food Stall. It is located opposite the traditional food market Ba Shi. It has good reviews and I will go and test it myself when I have time.

(Note: According to Dianping.com, this store is suspected of robbing foreign tourists, please be careful when dining) Be careful of being ripped off when you come to Xiamen, especially Gulangyu Island, Zhang San Feng Milk Tea and Miss Biscuits (these two are made by the same company

), most people in Xiamen will not consume it.

As a local foodie, I have tried my best... If there are any omissions, I will continue to update them.
