XIANG CHOU

The shacha soup base is very authentic and the hot pot ingredients are very rich. There are shrimps, clams, squids, etc. Every bite is authentic.

We went to Fuzhou for a few days this summer vacation. The most impressive thing was the food in Fuzhou. In the last two days, we left Fuzhou city and went to Pingtan Island for a tour. Before leaving, the inn owner recommended this nostalgia Fujian folk cuisine, saying that it was a more distinctive restaurant here, so we came to continue our Fuzhou food tour. 🍽【Food Guide】 📍Detailed address: Building 1, Building 6, Zone C, Phase 2, Xihang Seaside City 🚗Transportation Guide: We drove here by ourselves. There are parking spaces on the roadside, but the resources are very tight 🕙Business hours: 11:00-14:00 17:00-21:30 🍽Recommended dishes: 🐔Changting Pan-fried Mountain Chicken: This chicken should be free-range, with a firm and chewy texture. After marinating, the base flavor is very strong, and there is young ginger in it. It is really super fragrant and this chicken is especially good with rice, because it is very flavorful and not spicy. Children like this chicken very much. Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🦪Oyster stew with seaweed: We often eat oysters in Haikou, but we never thought that they would taste so fresh with seaweed! Especially after adding some peppers, the taste is really very strong. The taste of oysters is beyond words, but I think the best is seaweed. It is a great accompaniment to rice. If you haven't eaten it, you must try it. Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🐷Xianyou Jiuzhuan Tuchang: The name of the dish is the place name of Xianyou County. It should be a local method. The part of the large intestine is used. The selection of ingredients is very particular. The taste of the stew is particularly thorough, and the fishy smell is basically removed. The taste is relatively tough, but it may be a bit difficult for the elderly to chew. Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 🐠Raw baked yellow croaker: This yellow croaker must be a very fresh live fish, with a fresh and tender taste. It is baked raw and fully flavored. There is rice wine to remove the fishy taste and a lot of garlic is added when baking, so the taste is very strong. In summary, it is the taste of braised + the taste of steamed! Recommendation index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 🖼Restaurant environment: We arrived at one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was just one table left for us. If we came at normal time, we would definitely have to wait for a seat. The decoration style is very traditional Chinese, which fits the name of Xiangshao very well. The serving speed is a little slow, but it is understandable, after all, the business is so good! 💰Per capita consumption: 4 people consumed 255 yuan, 64 yuan per person. 🍜Restaurant total score: 4.8/5 points #Local food #Try the authentic old brand

The fish balls burst with juice, and the seared oysters were so fragrant you'll stomp your feet. Lunch was a complete chore! 🍡 2:30 PM Heading to Xichan Temple. Remember to wear long sleeves! Photography is forbidden inside the temple, so I obediently put my phone away and strolled around in complete peace and quiet. 🍃~ At 4:30 PM, I took the Gushan Cable Car. The sky was ablaze with orange and red at sunset, and the view below was all green. Every photo I took looked like a scene from a movie! 🌇 DAY 2: Fuzhou: Checking in at artistic spots At 9 AM, I arrived at Yantai Mountain. There's an old-style house with a coffee shop.

The beach was super clean, and my bare feet felt so comfortable on the sand! 🎢~ For lunch, we had some nostalgic Fujian folk cuisine.
