宫廷月亮虾饼 (Prawn Cakes) – Xiamen, Guangdong, China

This is a famous franchise chain of street food which you can see in tourist spots in Xiamen.

First time in Xiamen and totally excited over all the hype I got from my friends and documentaries about the food there.

I was a little skeptical because I’ve been to Taipei and the food there is a little bland to my palate. Maybe also because I’m from Singapore, working in the APAC region for years, I have developed a stronger preference to my taste buds. However that said, I have been on a diet and have been taking lotsa bland … Continue reading Taiwan Food Street (台湾小吃街) – Xiamen, China
