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.

    Linjia can be said to be the representative of Minnan cuisine, and this restaurant on Huandao Road is the best among Linjia. First of all, the environment. This Linjia is right on Huangcuo Beach, facing the unbeatable scenery. The blue sky and the sea are outside the window. You can eat and enjoy the scenery. Secondly, the dishes, adhering to the consistent style of Linjia, taste excellent and the dishes are exquisite. In addition, the service is warm and polite from beginning to end, which makes the diners very satisfied. I will come to this restaurant next time I go to Xiamen!

    The owner of the B&B recommended this place to eat Minnan specialty dishes. It is similar to the style of Guangdong teahouses. It is right on the beach of Huandao Road. The scenery is pretty good. I don’t recognize many dishes. I want to try many of them. I will just talk about the ones I think are more delicious. Quanzhou oyster omelet is delicious and fragrant. It is not fried with thick flour. Small pot of radish rice is a favorite fried rice for children. I also loved to order it in other Putian restaurants before. Minnan snack platter is a bit hard to get used to the vinegar meat. But if you want to try Minnan snacks, I suggest you order this platter. Minnan boiled intestines are the flavor I like. But some people may find it a bit bitter. The great thing is that some snacks are ordered by order. You can order one or two and not eat too much. But the amazing thing is that rice soup is provided here. It is very authentic, so it is easy to get full. If you eat too much, you will have no appetite for other dishes.

    For the last dinner in Xiamen, I chose Linjia, which is also an old chain. But it gave me a bad dining experience. The waiter had a sour face from beginning to end. Maybe I was in a bad mood, but it was not very professional to bring it to work...Except for this waiter, everything else was good. The hotel greeted guests with an umbrella and sent them to the car when it rained. There was also a child bed for the sleeping baby, which was very considerate... I ordered a few favorite dishes as a farewell...Chicken soup with noodles. To be honest, I really got tired of noodles during the confinement period, but I missed its taste when I was close to home. This restaurant is pretty good, and my baby also likes it. Fried vinegar meat and fried five-spice rolls and earthworm jelly are all standard, not bad nor particularly delicious. Nanri Island wild three fresh, soy sauce water method, the fish is very fresh and tender, and there are no bones, super rice ~ bitter snails and prosperous snails, one bitter and one sweet complement each other ~

    Linjia, I don't know how many times I've come here. I came to Linjia for a company event on weekends at noon. It's a good choice for a party! I won't write about the old dishes. The dishes I ordered for the first time were also very good. Bamboo fried black chicken with fir mushrooms had a crispy texture. It was the first time I ate it, and I still felt it was quite refreshing! Mango, in fact, it's rare to see mango dipped in soy sauce in hotels, but this is the favorite of Xiamen people! It's rare to have this dish in Linjia! Mango is very sweet, and it's really delicious with soy sauce!

    I went to three different Linjia restaurants in one month, in Jimei, Xiang'an, and Huandao Road, and they were all delicious...Full of Minnan characteristics, good ingredients, and fast serving! Huandao Road Linjia is located about 100 meters from Zengcuo'an Bus Station towards the Convention and Exhibition Center, which is the original site of Harbour City. The unique geographical environment, if you sit by the window, you can see the sea and the beach, and the mood for eating is also very good! There is also a glass house, which is mostly for four people! I ate there three times in one month, and I basically memorized the menu...I especially recommend the local pork soup, organic pumpkin baked with salted egg yolk, tea oil pork belly egg, Xiamen fried vinegar meat, chicken soup noodles, radish stewed rice, and pan-fried mountain chicken...In fact, except for the cowboy ribs, which are not worth it, the others are quite good...At noon, 11 people spent 804, great! Write a few that I haven't ordered before. [Minnan fried vinegar meat] 39 yuan. It was served piping hot, crispy and fragrant, and even better with the sweet and spicy sauce of Minnan! [Chicken Soup with Noodles] 55 yuan/large portion. A large plate was served, and the noodles should be handmade noodles, but there was not much soup, and it looked a bit like baked! The shredded chicken was not as salty as the normal noodles, and the taste was good! [Sizzling Beef Ribs] 79 yuan/large portion. This dish is not very recommended. Although the plate is quite large, the beef ribs are average in size. It is just the ordinary black pepper sizzling method, but the quality of the beef ribs is good... [Salted Egg Yolk Baked Organic Pumpkin] 32 yuan. I have never forgotten this dish after eating it once in Jimei Store, and even I, who don't like pumpkin, praised it! The appearance is average, but the taste is fragrant with salted egg yolk and sweet with pumpkin, recommended! I have written about other dishes too many times, so I won't repeat them one by one. Linjia is indeed a good place for family gatherings!
