Shuangquan Restaurant, underneath the KFC in the Cultural Palace, used to have a very large store. Unfortunately, there is only one store on the first floor now. They sell barbecue juice and the like at the door. The other stores on the first floor are rented to people selling clothes. It’s really a bit heroic.

It feels like one of the declining time-honored brands in Xiamen. The main store is on the 2nd floor. Go try it before it closes down.

Fried noodles are a unique and famous dish in Xiamen, created by the original "Quanfulou" and "Shuangquan Restaurant".

The cooking method is: use high-quality noodles (also called noodles in some places) and fry them in a 70% hot oil pan until they are reddish-yellow. Remove them to a plate and scald them with boiling water to remove the greasiness. Set aside. Use lean meat and winter bamboo shoots.

We produce bamboo shoot jelly and sell it in the store. We can sell more than 100 kilograms of it every day. This bamboo shoot jelly retains the original flavor, using cucumber, ginger, peanut butter, good soy sauce, and pungent soil.

Mustard and local sweet and spicy sauce. The frozen bamboo shoots are kept in a box with ice. They taste cold, spicy and spicy. The price is very reasonable in Lujiang.

The shrimp noodles at Wu Zaitian Snack Shop have a very special taste. They are Xiamen's signature snacks. Wu Zaitian is the only one in Xiamen that can make it to this extent, so not many people know about it.

What's special about the soup is that it is "an opera tune and a chef's soup". It uses a kind of small shrimp called "dog shrimp". The shells are removed and the meat is cooked. The soup for the noodles is made from chopped shrimp shells and heads.

Boil it with pork bones and filter out the residue with gauze.

The ingredients are quite simple: small shrimps and lean pork slices.

The whole bowl of noodles must be added with minced garlic and leek segments. This is the absolute finishing touch, which enhances the aroma and removes the fishy smell. It ensures that you will have a feeling of "sweetness flowing through your teeth and cheeks" every time you eat it.

You will feel that Master Kong/Uni-President’s shrimp noodles, which are the best in instant noodles, are simply incomparable to Wu Zaitian’s shrimp noodles. “The cowhide is not blown, and the train is not pushed.” Wu Zaitian’s shrimp noodles were famous in China in 1999 and 1998.

Duck porridge Have you tried the duck porridge opposite Datong Primary School?

It's on Datong Road near the ferry end. If you don't know, you can get there by taking the ferry station to Datong Primary School Station. It's only one stop.

The store is not big. No matter whether you go there at noon or at night, you can see many customers inside, and there are people of all ages. The duck porridge is light and cheap, suitable for old ladies and children. The salty porridge and ingredients are sold separately.

If you can chew it, you can add duck meat and duck neck. If you can't chew it, add oysters and fish meat. In addition, there are many miscellaneous ingredients that can be matched.

There is a "Park Sha Cha Noodles" next to it. Its business is always not as good as that of the porridge shop. The number of customers is usually only one-fifth of the porridge shop. The owner of the noodle shop often looks at the porridge shop with envy. He may be sighing about the sand tea noodle shop.
