in Xiamen, besides the sea and feelings, the most important thing is food. The well-known Zeng Cuo An Village Food Street, the small and fresh Cat Street, and the eight cities frequented by food editors all hide food.
But the "most vivid" flavor of Xiamen is all kinds of breakfast stalls that appear in the streets and lanes every morning. When the morning light of dawn fell on the earth, the sea city began to wake up.
A fried dough stick, a fried cake, a bowl of batter and a bowl of peanut soup have always been the breakfast memory of old Xiamen, and also the driving force to start a full-fledged day.
/ peanut soup /
A bowl of hot peanut soup, for Xiamen people who like to eat sweet, every bite is the temptation of life's core monuments.
It is hot and has a thick grainy feeling. Soak the fried dough sticks in the sweet soup, and the soaked fried dough sticks will melt in the mouth, which hardly needs to be chewed, with a delicate and long aftertaste.
A bowl of peanut soup with eggs not only has no fishy smell, but also enriches the taste and tastes more delicious.
There are many small shops about peanut soup. Apart from the well-known Huang Zehe and 52 peanut soup, there are many peanut soups hidden downstairs in the community. There is no conclusion about which one is the best, but everyone will have their own answer in their hearts.

The full fried cake, which looks plain, is a representative of the strong ancient taste. A pot of steaming full fried cake was picked up by the whole block, and quickly cut into pieces and bagged while it was hot. Many people couldn't help taking a few bites at the moment they got it, and the joy brought by sweets was undoubtedly not exposed on their faces.
There are three most common flavors: peanut, sesame and brown sugar. Xiaobian prefers peanut flavor, steaming, taking a bite, soft, waxy and sweet, and there are crunchy peanuts with rich taste. A cup of tea is perfect.
/ batter /
In Xiamen, batter is on the menu of street snack bars and five-star hotels.
Compared with Quanzhou's noodle paste, Xiamen's noodle paste basically retains the shape of noodle paste. Apart from the basic soup base with big bones, Xiamen's noodle paste also uses old muscovy duck as soup base and dried seafood as soup base, but the common soup base with big bones is still used.
A bowl of hot batter wakes up the body's energy for a whole day. It is also the best midnight snack when you are hungry at night. In countless days and nights that need to be warmed, the batter has firmly locked the stomachs of many foodies.
/ malted milk /
Sweetheart is the first choice for breakfast. Sweet and nutritious, take a sip in the morning, and the thick sweet and waxy feeling surrounds the whole taste bud, which makes people excited.
The most famous one is Yaben Mainai on the street of Bashi. Every morning, the small Mainai shop is surrounded by aunts and uncles.
A bowl of sweet and glutinous wheat milk with a fried dough stick is an authentic way of eating in Xiamen.
/ Wanzaiguo /
Although it is rarely seen on the island, for Tongan people, the status of Wanzaiguo in their hearts is as deep-rooted as that of Satay Noodles in the hearts of old Xiamen.
Bowl dumplings with good quality taste soft and smooth, and don't stick to teeth. Just the right humidity, with sand tea sauce, sweet and spicy sauce, soy sauce, garlic and other sauces, tastes fresh, sweet and delicious, and the satisfaction is bursting.
