ye's sesame paste

tastes sweet but not greasy, waxy but not sticky, and has the characteristics of toughness, fragrance and ice.

Origin: Ye's sesame paste in Gulangyu originated from Ye Chengwu, a native of Anxi, Fujian Province. He learned the techniques of making sesame paste, rice cake, steamed cake and soybean milk wheat with his elders since childhood. In 24 years of the Republic of China, he came to Xiamen alone to sell hemp cakes. Because each process has to be manually operated, it is time-consuming and laborious, and only dozens or hundreds of tablets can be made and sold on the street every day. After the reform and opening up, Ye Jianjia, the third son of Ye Chengwu, and Jiansheng, the fourth cotyledon, started the hemp business under their guidance. After Ye Chengwu retired, he also went to the streets to sell sesame paste. In order to facilitate tourists to buy, the relevant departments have specially approved the sale of stalls on Sanyou Street in Longtou Road, and the business is booming. The daily sales volume is about hundreds, and the tourist season can reach thousands. In recent years, it has also set up a distribution point in the ninth market in Xiamen.

fried oyster

fried oyster, also known as fried oyster, is a unique snack in southern Fujian. Delicate and delicious.

The private oysters waiting in line will always be fried in Longtou Road. It is said that the oysters are picked out by the boss from his hometown in Longhai and transported to Gulangyu Island every day, which is very fresh and has not been soaked in water. Fried oysters are very similar to their own private houses. They are not pressed into flat cakes, but blended with sweet potato powder to be just right but very fluffy. The oyster tastes a little fishy. In order to remove the fishy smell, some chefs will mix eggs in the oyster. While covering the fishy smell of oyster, oyster frying also lost its soul. The method of this oyster frying is to surround the eggs around the oyster frying, which keeps the original flavor of the oyster.

Chenbeizai cake with mixed flavor

Beizai is what northerners mean. Beizai cake originated from the practice of baking cakes brought to Xiamen by northerners and was transformed by Xiamen people. The wet cake wrapped with minced chives is pasted on the furnace wall and baked. The air left in the cake expands, and the cake surface is bulging, and the cake can be baked until it gives off a slight scorch. Bite it down, and the rich flavor of onion, wheat and stuffing gushes out, which makes people forget it.

There is only a small glass cabinet at the door, which contains several bags of crispy garlic peanuts, two or three bowls of cakes and several turtle-shaped glutinous rice products. If it weren't for the old residents of Gulangyu Island or the tourists who came here, most of the people who passed by would turn a blind eye.
