The famous snacks in Quanzhou are concentrated in West Street, Guan Yue Temple, Jing Qing Temple and Zhuangfu Lane. Go for a walk and see if you can eat and drink enough, eight meals a day, to achieve stress-free. Let you see the special snacks that the four of us ate all day in Quanzhou.
Features: The location is good, and the sauce of jiaozi with roasted meat stuffing is unique.
I got off the high-speed train in Quanzhou early in the morning and took a taxi to East Street for breakfast. There are two reasons for choosing this house. The first one is a good location, next to West Street and Zhongshan Road. You can eat and drink at Kaiyuan Temple. Second, it has a good reputation. You can visit this one with the recommendation of friends from all walks of life.
Environment:
Located on the first floor of the East Street arcade, the storefront is small, but the decoration is relatively new and the tables and chairs are clean. Order at the entrance, and the food will be served as soon as you sit down.
Taste:
[Signature Scallop Dumplings], the signature dumpling of Hou Apo's family, is very big, and the weight of scallops, pork belly and oysters is quite satisfactory. In taste, it is very different from jiaozi, a meat stuffing that was eaten in Xiamen. The sand tea sauce here is added with peanut butter, and the taste of hot sauce is not obvious. Zongzi was wrapped tightly, but after eating rice and materials, it broke a bowl, just wrapped the sauce at the bottom of the bowl and destroyed it.
Rouyan soup, also known as Taiping Yan, is a traditional snack in Fuzhou, Fujian. To make swallow skin, pork must choose lean meat from hind legs, with the sweet potato powder mixed above, and the proportion of meat powder is just right; Hand-made through elaborate and complicated techniques, it is as thin as white paper, with jade-like color and soft and tough taste. Although it is similar to the wonton in the north, the meat swallow in Fujian is small, not a staple food but a snack.
Beef soup, which originated in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, is a traditional specialty food in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, and belongs to Fujian cuisine. After autumn, the weather turns cold, and drinking a bowl of beef soup is a common thing for Quanzhou people to supplement their bodies at this time. The processed beef has lost the taste of crude fiber, and it is soft and slippery after repeated slapping.

Environment: the location is super good, just a few steps away is the bell tower, the landmark of the ancient city.
The store is spacious, and the decoration and seating arrangement are full of local flavor. The big photos on the booth with words aroused great appetite. I ate Houpu in the morning and came to eat this house in the evening.
Taste: There are too many choices, including more than ten kinds of zongzi, as well as local specialty snacks such as mixed noodles with sand tea and meat swallow soup. The price is a little cheaper than grandma Hou.
[Braised Scallop jiaozi], jiaozi is very big, and the materials are scallops, pork belly and mushrooms. Scallops are more expensive and smaller. Sauce is still sand tea, peanut butter and hot sauce, and the fat-rich meat stuffing jiaozi is evil and delicious.
Satay noodles [large intestine], Satay noodles have finally been eaten, but it is worse than Xiamen's. Peanut butter is added to the sand tea, which is a bit sticky. Xiamen Satay noodles have even more ingredients than noodles. The noodles here are very big and the sauce is too thick for one person to finish. Of course, the price of 12 yuan is very cheap.
[Meat Swallow Soup], the meat swallows are relatively large and long and square in shape. The key is that the color of the meat is suspicious and it is light pink. I don't know what caused it, but it doesn't taste as good as Hou Apo.
The counter also sells vacuum-packed zongzi, which is suitable as a gift. But a meat jiaozi is heavy and cheap, so it's hard to take home.

Stone flower paste is a special snack in southern Fujian, which is hard to see in other places. Mainly because of the local ingredients and the summer climate in southern Fujian, people like to eat. At first glance, Shihua ointment thought it was gypsum, which was completely different. Mantianxing is a kind of seawater plant. When it is collected and boiled, it becomes translucent gypsum.
When eating, scrape strips with a plane, pour honey water and sprinkle with various toppings, and it becomes a street dessert that everyone in southern Fujian likes in summer-four fruit soup. The effect is the same as that of grass in the southeast coast, relieving summer heat and cooling down. Stone flower paste looks like jelly, but it tastes crisp and tender.
Environment:
This shop is small and hidden next to the people's government. There are only a few tables, but the guests flow very fast. Because it was a street snack, everyone was thirsty and hot, so they came in for a drink and left, not for a long time.
The ingredients in the counter are dazzling, including coix seed, mung bean, red bean, lotus seed, white fungus and various fruits, such as pineapple, mango and watermelon. There are also some candied fruit, fairy grass, taro, pudding and mariko. Oh, my God, instant selection obstacles.
Taste:
Clear and cool water and stone flower paste are the jelly flavors of qq. One can choose four ingredients, sweet mung bean and red bean, sweet and sour mango and glutinous rice taro are my great love. Good quality and low price, 7 yuan a bowl, if only I were so happy in Beijing in summer.

Features: authentic Fujian snacks can be served as dinner in one pot.
Ginger duck is a Fujian snack that originated in Quanzhou. The southeast coast likes to eat poultry. In addition to respecting the original flavor, Quanzhou's practice of adding ginger and soy sauce is very popular with northern diners.
Environment:
This family has many branches in Quanzhou, and Tumen Street Head Office is located next to Guandi Temple Jing Qing Temple. Come over for dinner when you are tired of playing. The environment is an ordinary restaurant, but eating ducks takes time and the store is spacious. It is said that the peak season is often equal.
Taste:
In front of the food stall, you can see several rows of stoves. Each stove has a casserole with a ginger duck in it. The duck is cooked slowly, so it is not timely, so it may have to wait.
When you open the casserole, you will find a strong ginger flavor, and the sweet and fresh soy sauce is very attractive. With these two flavors, the fishy smell of the duck itself is eliminated a lot. Besides ginger duck, the duck gizzards in the shop are more like snacks. A big, super porcelain, Q-bomb taste, very good taste. 6 yuan, just buy some to take away when you pass by. It's delicious whether it's hot or cold.

Features: The batter on the edge of Kaiyuan Temple and a bowl on the road.
Environment: East Street passes the bell tower, which is West Street. Because it is close to Kaiyuan Temple, there are many pavements, businesses and tourists. This is called excitement. Riding on the sidewalk downstairs is a typical coastal snack bar. The innermost part is the kitchen, which is semi-open, and the topping of the batter is neatly stacked behind the glass window, which is clear at a glance.
The boss sits at the counter and chats with you when ordering. Next to the door are several long tables for four people, which are simple and clear.
Taste:
The first time I fell in love with batter was a few years ago at Azong Noodle Restaurant in Ximending, Taipei. And a group of friends, one with a bowl of fat sausage noodles, squatting in the bustling street of Ximending, sipping hot noodles, the taste in memory is amazing.
After that, every time I go to Fujian, I will look everywhere for traces of batter and eat a few bowls before I stop. Taiwan Province noodle shop started in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, separated only by a strip of water, and Quanzhou noodle shop has a history of more than 800 years. Authentic noodles are handmade Lamian Noodles. Noodles are as thin as hair, transparent after cooking, and soft at the entrance. If you are weak or have a bad mouth, drinking a bowl of batter can quickly replenish nutrients and calories.
Zeng's noodle sauce is typical, while Quanzhou's noodle soup is thin. There are dozens of toppings, mainly pig water, pig offal or a little seafood.
It is strongly recommended to order a fried dough stick, which should be fried twice, so it is particularly crisp and the spicy batter is great.

Features: Minnan snacks-fried vinegar meat and fried seaweed
This unmarked stall is said to have a history of more than ten years. Every afternoon to evening, we sell fried vinegar meat and fried seaweed. Many locals ride electric cars, brake beside the stalls, buy a few dollars of vinegar meat to take home, and add an extra meat dish at night.
The practice and principle of vinegar meat are a bit like the sweet and sour tenderloin in the north, with two main differences. First, Quanzhou's fried vinegar meat uses lean pork, not limited to tenderloin; Second, Quanzhou fried vinegar meat just doesn't need to thicken, and the vinegar taste and sweetness are melted into the outer layer of batter.
This very local food stall has a very real price. A few dollars a bag is the best when it is just fried. We stood in the street and ate a few mouthfuls of hot air. The stall owner gave us two pieces of fried seaweed for us to taste. Stir-fried with sweet potato powder and seaweed is also a very fragrant food. High calorie, take a few bites when you are tired, and instantly return to blood. What you can't finish is cold, and it tastes good to continue eating at night.

Features: A special snack worth eating in West Street.
One snack bar after another on West Street was caught on fire by friends who came to travel. Many of them have become internet celebrities.
Walking around didn't attract me, but I was fascinated by Aunt Wu's process of making sesame cakes like running water.
Mary said that it is simply glutinous rice products, but in fact there are quite a lot of raw materials, including good glutinous rice, lard, sesame, peanuts, rock sugar and so on. Minnan people like to eat rice cakes. The local glutinous rice is thick and short, and its viscosity is between glutinous rice and stem rice. Glutinous rice flour is very suitable for making rice cakes or rice cakes.
The aunt at the scene skillfully made sesame cakes. Crush the shaped dough, add the fried pastry, a little sesame sugar and peanuts, wrap it and roll it in peanut powder for a few times, and the hot dough will be ready. 2 yuan, take a bite of soft glutinous rice, which is crispy outside and crispy inside, sweet and salty. It's really distinctive.

Features: delicious licorice fruit, Chaoshan characteristics
I fell in love with licorice from my trip to Chaozhou. At first glance, licorice is usually regarded as Chinese medicine. In Chaoshan, licorice is a special snack. I passed through Quanzhou this time and bought it without hesitation.
The window is facing the street, and the fruit beauty bathed in licorice water lies in the fruit bowl, waiting to be turned over. When they see this scene, they will swallow saliva reflexively. . We chose the fruit, put it in a pot and weighed it. The price is more expensive than expected.
We chose mango, strawberry, green mango, carambola, lotus seed and guava. When packaging, three kinds of dipping powder are packed in small boxes, namely dried tangerine peel powder, ginger powder and plum powder. Take it to the teahouse. Tea is good.
