Linjia is an old restaurant in Xiamen. The first store is in Datang Shijia. I have eaten here since the store opened. I can say that I have eaten here many times. Now the store has grown from one to many. It has also transformed from a small store to a large restaurant. There are not only stores on the island but also outside the island. The most beautiful view belongs to the Zengcuo'an store.
On a rare weekend, I made an appointment with my friends to visit the Zengcuo'an store, the store with the most beautiful scenery in Linjia. Not only is the store large, but the environment is beautiful. There is also an observation deck to enjoy the scenery of the seaside, and you can also sit on the terrace to dine.
Needless to say, the environment of the store, if you like lively, sit in the hall, terrace, if you like quiet or banquet, there are large and small private rooms to choose from.
Four small dishes of Fujian flavor, snacks with southern Fujian flavor, Xiamen's special shacha is used to stew dried tofu, with a rich taste; the uniqueness of Yanjiao lies in the Yan skin, which has another special taste; the large intestine blood is the taste of Tongan; the shrimp skin mixed with seaweed has a fresh and crispy taste, which brings a different feeling to the taste buds.
Braised stingray and fried hairtail, two dishes in one dish, one braised and one fried bring different flavors.
I love this fried oyster dish the most. The oysters are wrapped in sweet potato batter after egg and water. The skin is crispy and the inside is tender. It is even more delicious with chili sauce. The deliciousness of this dish lies in the crispy outside and tender inside, and the control of the heat is just right.
The dry fried chicken here is a signature dish, because it uses free-range chickens. The chicken is different from other places when you put it in your mouth. It is tender and chewy.
Tofu is indispensable for home-cooked dishes, and the mushroom tofu pot has the original fragrance of bean juice. It is so simple and has a home-like taste.
How can you not eat fish when you are at the seaside? Baked black bean oil mackerel is tender and juicy.
For summer appetite, a stir-fried mabu fish is the right choice. The refreshing bean sprouts are paired with the salty and fragrant mabu fish. It is good with rice and wine.
When you see this original flavor of native pig soup, you will know that you are eating at Lin's house. The soup is simple and original, very refreshing.
The staple food must be radish rice. The salty rice in southern Fujian is a must. Even if there is no vegetable, you can eat two bowls. The radish rice here is made of shredded carrots, taro, pork belly, etc. Even people who don't like carrots will love it.
Such a meal, such a scene, inviting three or five friends to get together here and drink two cups, is really a great pleasure in life.
