Forget about the tea in the box. Don’t buy it. Dried longan is mostly made with flour and sugar, and I don’t recommend buying it. I’ve never bought good pies in Gulangyu Island.

Pay attention to the production date, the shelf life is only 10 days.

The gray-headed and dirt-faced bamboo shoots are like small worms one by one. The soil bamboo shoots are picked out from the sand and left out for a day to spit out the debris. Then they are boiled in a pot because they have a high degree of collagen like pig skin, so

When the pot is sticky, put it out and wait for it to cool naturally, then it will solidify into a bowl of frozen bamboo shoots. Cut it into four pieces with a knife and serve it with mustard. It is best to drink it when empty.

The bamboo shoot jelly may not be very fragrant, but its refreshing taste is definitely top-notch.

Xiamen Oyster Fried: Beat the eggs, add a large amount of fresh oysters, fry them in oil, spread them out into a plate and serve them, and dip them in Xiamen's specialty sweet and spicy sauce.

The freshness of the oysters, the richness of the eggs, and most importantly, the chili sauce, make a perfect combination.

Xiamen's chili sauce is a little different from other places. First of all, its color is bright red, unlike the local ones, which are mostly dark red. Secondly, the taste is sweet and spicy, with sweet seeming to have the upper hand.

Pour the chili sauce into the plate, your eyes light up without moving the chopsticks, and when the chopsticks reach your mouth, your saliva has already flowed down the edge of the table.

Xiamen pie: This pie is not that pie. There is no leek, egg or pork and cabbage filling.

There are two types of Xiamen pies.

The sweet cake is baked with mung bean paste as filling, lard and sugar.

Salty biscuits are made with diced meat filling and lard and sugar.

Crispy skin and delicious fillings are no exaggeration to describe Xiamen pie.

In Nanputuo Temple, there is a kind of vegetable oil pie, which is filled with mung bean, white sugar and yellow flower fungus.
