YU BAO WANG MIN NAN CHA LOU

Taro buns in the Eight Markets Someone recommended this taro bun in the guide, and the address is also near the Eight Markets. I thought it was probably not big like the snack shops I ate before, but it turned out to be a regular restaurant, and the food sold was mainly Minnan specialty snacks. It was nice to have a proper meal here. Unfortunately, I had eaten all kinds of snacks in the Eight Markets along the way, so I could only order the original target, the traditional taro buns. Taro buns are actually filled with taro skins. The taro buns are filled in the food box, and the sauces and coriander and other ingredients are sprinkled on them. The taro skin is sticky but not sticky, and the fillings wrapped inside are mainly eggs and dried tofu. If I have a chance, I will try their taro bun king, which is filled with seafood.

The taro buns are made and then steamed, one in each steamer, a bit like crab roe buns, topped with a special sauce. The skin has the aroma of taro, and paired with rich fillings, it is really delicious.

Guangdong people have the habit of drinking morning tea. In fact, many old Xiamen people will also find a restaurant to drink tea and chat, and then eat some old-fashioned flavors. The taste of life is all in this morning tea. Among the teahouses, Taro Bao Wang Minnan Teahouse is an old teahouse. Located on Dayuan Road, close to the eighth ferry market, the old block in the old city, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has the most Xiamen flavor. On weekdays, many aunts, uncles, grandpas and grandmas come here. A pot of boiling water and a cup of tea are the standard for each table. There are both snacks and Minnan home-cooked dishes here. The most famous is naturally the taro bun, which has been passed down for four generations. The strong taro flavor belongs to the memory of Xiamen people. Xiamen's taro bun is like a taro paste bun with ingredients. The original taro bun only has simple red onion crisps, and the original flavor is sweet. The signature taro bun king has much richer fillings, small abalone, dried tofu, shrimp, etc., seafood flavor, dipped in Xiamen hot sauce and sweet and sour radish shreds, one point dense and soft, one point fresh and refreshing. Another bowl of sour bamboo shoots and shark soup, the shark meat is fresh and elastic, and the sour bamboo shoots soup is fresh and refreshing, which can be said to be a perfect match. Taro paste crispy duck, soft and sweet, duck meat wrapped in fine taro paste, with a lingering fragrance, it is quite good as a tea pairing. There are also rich and unique Gongtang sandwiches, sweet and sour pancakes, Q tender bowl cakes and other old-fashioned snacks. Orange crispy meat is fragrant, sweet, crispy and delicious; Aniang tofu is tender and tough, dipped in Xiamen sweet and spicy sauce, delicious and appetizing; Dark ingredient sandworms are made into boiled three fresh, spicy and crispy, and taste even better. Open at 7 o'clock in the morning, a teahouse is enough to contract a whole day of life in Xiamen. Location: No. 27 Dayuan Road, near the eighth ferry market, next to Ajizi cake shop

The location of the Taro Bun King is hidden in the alley of Dayuan Road, Xiamen. The founder Wang Chaoji started selling taro buns at No. 32 Dayuan Road in 1940. At first, it was only famous for taro buns and roasted pork dumplings. Later, it was called the Taro Bun King because of the deliciousness and quality of the taro buns. Inherited from generation to generation, accumulated from generation to generation, and slowly developed, it evolved from the original stall to the current teahouse, from the earliest single product to the current diversified products, integrating Xiamen's special snacks into one. Taro Bun King Minnan Teahouse, in front of the door is freshly steamed taro buns, with a faint fragrance floating in the basket. Walking into a glass window, the taro bun king is being wrapped, with a variety of fillings, which makes people salivate. Walking in, it suddenly becomes clear, and the decoration with the Minnan atmosphere makes people shine. Tea meals, thermos and black tableware all make people feel very warm. Sitting here is like walking into the old Xiamen, a pot of tea, a taro bun, and some special Minnan snacks, this feeling is really comfortable. The must-order here is of course the taro bun. The taro bun is divided into ordinary taro bun and taro bun king. Come and try the taste. The taro bun needs to be eaten hot. The ordinary taro bun is topped with homemade scallion oil, sauce and pickled radish. The color is very tempting. The skin is more elastic and tough. The filling is traditional minced pork belly, shrimp, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, etc. It is fragrant and has a unique taste, with a faint taro fragrance and a very refreshing taste. The taro bun king here is the signature. The outer skin is strong and glutinous with taro fragrance, and the inner part is filled with shrimp, abalone and other ingredients. Every bite is fresh and fragrant, and the taste is different from the ordinary taro bun. Of course, I prefer the taro bun king. Not only is the filling rich, but the skin is also fragrant and delicious. In addition to taro buns, there are many special Xiamen snacks here. How can you miss Shacha when you come to Xiamen? If you don't like noodles, you can have a pot of Shacha Hui, which contains shark balls, shark soup, large intestine blood, etc. The taste is light and fresh, suitable for two or three people in one pot. Fried oysters are crispy and fresh, and they are more flavorful with a little sweet and spicy sauce. Pineapple sweet and sour squid skewers, such snacks must be ordered, fresh and fragrant with sweet and sour taste, the taste is really great. Minnan fried pork liver and Minnan barbecued pork are both characteristic Minnan snacks, each of which is so delicious that I wish I could have another stomach. In fact, there are not only Minnan special snacks here, but also various steamers. Unfortunately, my stomach is limited, so I can only come back next time to taste it. Such a Minnan teahouse, how can people not like it? Come to one and you can taste a variety of delicious foods. You don’t have to go around everywhere in the hot summer.

Because of the unanimous praise from friends around me, I also tried it myself. It is really worth five stars. I finally have a good recommendation for friends from other places in the future. The signature taro bun is a must-order. There are so many ingredients in it, including large pieces of abalone, fine scallops, and plump shrimps. It is a delicious salty taro bun. People with light taste or those who can't eat spicy food can eat it. It is suitable for all ages and is very versatile. I personally like fried pork liver more than taro buns. It is very fragrant and the taste is not taboo. It is not heavy or spicy, but it is fried and delicious. The taste of fried vinegar meat is sweet and sour, which is better than ordinary vinegar meat. It is similar to marinated barbecued pork fried. I believe that anyone who eats these three dishes will be satisfied. Five stars. There are also many authentic Xiamen snacks. Some dishes incorporate some Cantonese flavors. Overall, they are good. Many tourists are deterred because they heard that taro buns are salty, but the ordinary taro buns for 7 yuan are also great. Locals who are used to eating them still come in an endless stream.
