A Ji Zai(Kai Yuan Lu Dian) Review

Located on Dayuan Road, this Ajizi Bakery is a small shop with good quality and low price. Not only tourists buy it, but locals also buy it frequently. I like their mung bean pie the most. The delicate filling is wrapped in a crispy crust, and it is not too sweet. It tastes good.

There are queues at this store from morning to night. The difference is that sometimes there are more people and sometimes there are fewer people. When I was bored, I found two problems: 1. His Tmall store sells at a higher price; 2. The courier store opposite can not only send the courier directly, but also write down the number and ask others to buy it for you. This second point is really the gospel of lazy people. In addition to this store, there is a department store next door, which has more and more expensive things, so ordinary people just come here to queue up. I tried their different snacks. My favorite ones are water chestnut crisps and coconut cakes. Pineapple is a bit too sweet for me, but the elderly at home like it. Water chestnut crisps taste best when they are hot, and coconut crisps like the feeling of the thick layer of leaves on the top in the mouth. The meat floss crisps feel average, without too many characteristics, but the taste is still okay. The most cost-effective way is to buy packaging instead of boxed ones. It is good for eating by yourself or for relatives and friends with good relationships. If it is a gift, of course the box is beautifully packed, but the extra money is spent on the box.

Following the navigation, I finally found his shop after many twists and turns. The shop is not big. But the business is very good. I came here just before the shop opened. I even had to queue up to buy, although the queue was not long. I bought coconut cakes, pineapple cakes, and mung bean cakes. The packaging is very retro and the price is not expensive. I think the coconut cake tastes good! The coconut flavor is very strong. The mung bean cake feels dry.

It is also a popular store where locals line up. I read the reviews and found that you couldn't buy many cakes even if you line up before the Spring Festival. I checked and found that there is a branch near the hotel. I walked there in the morning and it was indeed diagonally opposite the Kaiyuan Seafood, in a small alley. Although there were not many people in the line, we saw that the business was indeed good, and they were all citizens buying cakes. I bought sun cakes, wife cakes, mung bean cakes, and coconut cakes according to the introduction. I asked for three boxes of each. The packaging was not bad and suitable for taking on the plane. I tried the sun cakes and wife cakes today. They were indeed sweet and not greasy, with a high cost-effectiveness ratio. They were very crispy and delicious. However, the clerk miscalculated the price at the beginning, although it would be better if there was a system.

Speaking of Ajizai, almost no locals don't know it. Every morning, there will be old white-haired uncles and grandmas who will line up for five minutes after buying vegetables in the Eight Markets to buy a few boxes to take home as a snack with tea. Personally, I prefer coconut cakes, which are sticky and have real coconut particles, and taste great! Orange cake Sticky, fragrant, sweet, and non-sticky! As a tea and snack, it feels great! Horse hoof cake The texture is soft, oily and crispy, sweet and thick, and it tastes even better when eaten hot! Ajizai: No. 37 Dayuan Road Business hours: 06:00-21:00 (go early, otherwise you may miss the delicious taste!)

When you come to Xiamen for a trip, you naturally have to bring some souvenirs. Ajizi Pie is a time-honored brand in Xiamen. For those with choice difficulty syndrome, it is definitely difficult to choose between various pies. The Dayuan Road store is located near the entrance of the alley. The storefront is not big, and the queue is still OK. I have tried all the brands of the horseshoe cakes that I want to eat, so I had to choose other flavors: red bean cakes/green bean cakes/pork floss/seaweed... The boxed ones are convenient for giving to others and carrying. Each piece of cake is individually packaged, clean and hygienic. Each box has 4/6 pieces in different packages. The production date is the latest. The clerk reminds that the shelf life is short and it should be eaten as soon as possible.

I searched for this specialty store before coming to Xiamen, and I came to look for it after arriving. I asked in the alley and luckily I found it. Luckily, the line wasn't long when I came, and I bought it in a short while. But there weren't many choices. The varieties hanging on the sign at the door of the store were basically sold out. Only mung bean cakes and pineapple cakes were left. The clerk said that they were just for tourists like us. If they made them all, there would be no time. Well, we had no choice but to buy these two things. There's no need to think about the legendary delicious water chestnut cakes. Let's talk about the taste. The filling of the mung bean cakes is very delicate and not too sweet. We all like it when we brought it back. As for the pineapple cakes, there's nothing special about them. And later I found out that they charged more. I don't know if other people have this situation. I personally feel that as an operator, it's okay to give customers a discount. They even charge more‍♀️ Alas, no matter how famous you are, you can't be inflated.

I went to eat Ajizai pies and found two stores, one is the old store and the other is the new store, not far from each other. The old store has a more down-to-earth culture and the price is cheaper. By the evening, many varieties of pies were sold out. The new store is smaller and fresher. In addition to pies, it also sells some peripherals. The packaging of the pies is more exquisite and can be given as a souvenir to friends.
