Back to Xiamen

October 25-27, 2025 [Belated Ramblings] I completely forgot that 15 years ago I took a 13-hour hard-seat train ride to Xiamen; I only remember the star fruit on the train was incredibly sweet. This trip back to Xiamen was also with Teacher Mumu Jian (Friendship 99). The last time we watched Mayday together was 13 years ago. Because I had some unpleasant things weighing on my mind, I couldn't stop crying while praying at Nanputuo Temple. Buddha, please bless me so that my wishes come true and everything goes smoothly. 🌿 Still a series of food reviews: One Tree, One Leaf Tea in the Fragrant Courtyard (Promotional, I think it's better than CUIDA) Tea Mountain School CUIDA Hao Xiang Ji Pork Tenderloin Skewers Papa Baking Chestnut Shortbread (Promotional, I chose the sweet taro cake) Lin Ji Four Fruit Soup (Promotional, a teacher drank two bowls on the spot) Wo Lin Dessert (Promotional, I'd eat it even if my stomach was about to explode, I even took it on the high-speed train) Jia Wei Restaurant (Good service, but a drunkard vomited at the next table) Chen Lu Sha Cha Noodles (No offense, I really can't stand sha Cha noodles) Guan Ding Ginger Duck (I don't like the sweet flavor) Ah San Food Stall (Promotional, Fatty Razor Clams + Taro Shreds & Squid + Juicy Grapefruit Grown by the Owner) Wild Road Dessert Shop (Great for taking photos, the glutinous rice cake is also good)
