Gulangyu Cuisine Guide

  1. Fish balls

There are countless fish ball shops on the island, and the Gulangyu fish ball shop on Longtou Road is the best. Q is strong, the filling is good, maybe because of my first lunch, I shook my head and praised it. Another leading fish ball shop is said to have appeared on CCTV, with a large number of customers, but the taste is different from the previous one. The fish balls are relatively loose, slightly salty, but fresher, and are highly sought after by their own fans.

  1. BBC Private Pancake

First, let me give you a heartwarming full score. I dare not be interested in the pies in state-owned stores. Anyone who sees a surge of tourists will not taste too good. This cake is made by the parents themselves. They stir fry the filling one day in advance and make the cake the next day. It is made and sold on the spot, with various fillings available in limited quantities for one yuan each. I tried black bean paste, meat filling, and pumpkin, all of which are worth eating again. Similarly, BBC’s special French fries are paired with spaghetti sauce, and latte is also good. A hot drink called Maserati combines the flavors of milk tea and ginger tea, priced at 22 yuan per cup.

  1. Ye’s sesame cake

The only shop on the island that is allowed by the government to set up a temporary stall is the Ma Ci, which was passed down from the father of the Ye family. Now it’s the son of the Ye family who stands guard every evening and sells it at a price of 1 yuan each. It’s a bit like Shanghai’s Double Brewing Dumplings, but the inside is wrapped in peanut kernels, the outside is sesame powder, and the middle dumpling is very soft. The business keeps going every day. (Ye’s mochi: located in the center of Longtou Commercial Street, near Xinhua Bookstore)

  1. Noodle paste

The food of the working masses is rice noodle soup with pepper powder, which is a bit sticky. There is duck blood in it, which is just so so. You can also choose refueling sticks and Soy egg. It costs 3 yuan per bowl. (No. 198 Longtou Road)

5.Hai Li Jian

    Just like the oil pillars in Shanghai, which are relatively large and wrapped in flour.
