My hometown is Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and there are many underrated delicacies here, the most underrated of which are peanut cakes, oyster cakes, and Quanzhou braised noodles.
The first is peanut cake, which is one of Zhangzhou’s specialty snacks. It is made with peanuts, glutinous rice flour, sugar, condensed milk and other main ingredients.
There are two flavors of peanut cake, one is crispy peanut cake and the other is soft and waxy peanut cake.
The crispy peanut cake has a crispy outer skin and a rich peanut filling, which tastes very delicious, while the soft and waxy peanut cake has a softer, more delicate texture and a moderate sweetness.
Although peanut cake is a favorite among locals, few people in other areas know about this delicacy, so its deliciousness is underestimated.
Next is oyster cake, which is a seafood snack made with oysters, rice milk, onions, garlic paste, etc. as the main ingredients.
Oyster cake has a chewy texture, rich oyster flavor, and overflowing garlic aroma. It is one of Zhangzhou's specialties.
Although oyster cakes are popular locally, they are hard to find elsewhere and are therefore underrated.
Finally, there is Quanzhou braised noodles. Although it has "Quanzhou" in its name, it is also very popular in Zhangzhou.

The noodles are chewy and chewy, the meat slices are tender and tender, the marinade is rich, the peanuts and sesame are rich in flavor, and the taste is very delicious.
