A local friend took me to this old shop, which is said to be a famous snack. According to online reviews, it is also the first place to check in [naughty]
There are a lot of people. Unlike other shops that really fry oysters, this one is basically fried. A large pot of hot oil is poured directly into the prepared batter, and it is quickly scooped out. It may be that there are too many people and there is no time to fry slowly [naughty]
The taste is really special. After eating a few bites, I didn’t eat the oysters. I asked where the oysters were. Then I suddenly realized that the oysters were too fresh and the batter had been integrated into one. I realized that what I had eaten before was not authentic [naughty]
I really have to experience it, 😁 [naughty]
The vermicelli batter is also good [naughty] 😁
The noodle soup is also quite good. The small noodles here are relatively thin and smooth, and they are very smooth to eat. The oysters are also very plump, with a good seaside taste. In terms of price/performance ratio, it is acceptable. Although it is a little more expensive than other restaurants, the taste is definitely worth it. It’s just that the seat is not very comfortable.

The service is also quite good. The food is wrapped in small paper boxes. Remember to wait a while before eating, otherwise it may be a bit hot at first. Because it is a bit crowded inside, I packed it up and ate while walking. You can add sauce yourself, there are several kinds of sauces.
The cartilage sausage is also quite interesting, and the price is relatively cheap, only two yuan, and the ingredients are also quite good. Although it is a small shop, everything here is still good.

Yuanquan Songyue Shengtang
In the summer evenings, you can always see Songyue Shengtang crowded with people. Zhangzhou people love to invite three or five friends to come here to eat a bowl of Shengtang.
Its method seems simple, but it is very challenging to the freshness of the ingredients and the control of the heat. Dozens of ingredients such as pig liver, small intestines, lean meat, pig kidneys, pig hearts, clams, snake skin, etc. are put into the signature bone soup and cooked for 20 seconds. Sprinkle some shredded ginger and pour the soup. Although it is a bit like spicy hot pot, it is not so heavy.
I was attracted by the phrase "I'll want to eat more after I've eaten it, I'll be sick of it" when browsing Zhangzhou food‼ ️‼ ️
I want to try whether I will be sick of it‼ ️
🚖Take a taxi to the door. The stalls are very lively
I have to choose the best outdoor seats when I eat alone‼ ️
There are too many raw and hot varieties! I was dazzled and ordered a lot. The boss lady gave me some oysters🦪There are also many kinds of noodles. I chose one that looks like macaroni
Finally, the bill was 30 yuan, which is very good‼ ️
Each one is very delicious. I love the pork liver, pork kidney, fish skin, razor clams, and duck blood‼ ️The only mistake was that the small intestine was really hard to bite. I tried many times but couldn't bite it...
The seaweed was recommended by the boss lady, and it was not bad. I didn't order the water chestnuts that came with the soup.
Anyway, as a layman, I am very satisfied with my first experience‼ ️
If the small intestine hadn't been deducted 0.5, I would have given it all five stars‼ ️🥰‼ ️
Next time I come to Zhangzhou, I will go there again‼ ️‼ ️
I can eat it 56789 times‼ ️‼ ️

Cloud Soufflé:
DuangDuang~ The soft texture is really great. It melts in the mouth when paired with mango ice cream.
Red Sauce Chicken Wings: #Popular Afternoon Tea with a Check-in
This chicken wing looks very ordinary, but! It is really delicious. It is not greasy at all. Dip it in ketchup and it is a complete satisfaction. #Dessert Afternoon Tea
Charcoal Grilled Black Pork Belly:
The pork belly is fried until golden, tender and chewy. It is paired with kimchi and garlic slices. Who can refuse it? It does not mean that you know how to match.
#Zhangzhou Food

Carnivores must not miss it! There is a whole meat pie and it will snow.

I finally got to eat the Xiaowen triangular pancakes I had been eyeing for for a long time. The boss recommended that I try one of each, salty and sweet. The salty one is meat-flavored, and the sweet one is taro-flavored. The total cost is 6 yuan, and I think the sweet one tastes better.
This store is also a popular online store in Zhangzhou. I bought one sweet and one salty. After tasting them, I felt that the sweet one was more delicious.
