I have to say, it suits the taste of gourmet food lovers very much.
Fuding boasts 378 kinds of snacks, with over 100 of them recognized as "Famous Chinese Dishes, Snacks, and Delicacies." This trip was a special pilgrimage to Fuding! This slow-paced town hidden in eastern Fujian lacks the hustle and bustle of trendy cities. Everywhere you look, you'll find food stalls! I didn't do any online research this time; my main approach was "following the crowd"—after eating at one place, I'd grab the owner and ask, "What should I eat next?" Everyone I asked proudly and enthusiastically shared their treasure trove of restaurants—it was so welcoming! I've compiled a food list 🧾, please copy it! Most of the food is concentrated on Zhongshan Middle Road. If you're traveling, it's best to stay nearby and eat in the order I've listed to avoid backtracking! 1. Wu Ji Fried Buns 📍 No. 154 Zhongshan Middle Road A hole-in-the-wall restaurant, mainly selling them for 3.5 yuan each. They're quite large, fried until golden brown and crispy on both sides, and filled with a generous amount of sweet scallion and pork filling. 1. One batch takes over ten minutes to fry, so it's often in short supply. Eat it while it's hot; it's definitely worth the trip! 2. Subway Milk Tea 📍 No. 341, Zhongshan Middle Road Right next to Wu Ji Fried Buns, opposite Fuding No. 1 Middle School. Usually frequented by students. Very affordable. The owner recommended a "Prodigal Son Returns" drink, which tasted like the almost lost milk tea made with creamer powder from my childhood. Online reviews say the taro milk tea is also very good. 3. Beishichang Beef Balls (Zhongshan Middle Road Branch) 📍 No. 77, Gucheng North Road, Tongshan Street These are Fuding-style beef slices, but they're not actually slices; they're more like dumpling filling! The starch and beef are mixed together to create a chewy texture. The broth is sweet and flavorful. You can add yellow chili peppers, scallions, and ginger yourself—it tastes even better! They also have honey-glazed chicken wings, which taste and feel like country bumpkin style, but at 8 yuan, they're a bit pricey. The owner is very enthusiastic and recommended many long-established restaurants he's been eating at since childhood! 4. Huang Shengxiang Herbal Tea 📍 No. 235 Zhongshan Middle Road (near Gucheng West Road) Next to the beef shop in Beishichang, recommended by the beef shop owner. They'll indicate whether it's bitter or not. For casual drinking, I suggest the sweet herbal tea. For those curious, try the "Wet Tea" or their signature herbal tea – it's so bitter you'll cry for your mom! But it comes with rock sugar and dried tangerine peel to balance the bitterness! Their 5-yuan tortoise jelly is generally well-received! 5. Laojie Almond Tofu Pudding 📍 No. 9, Shizi West Alley A traditional dessert shop. The tofu pudding is incredibly tender, and the almond tofu has a subtle minty flavor, not a strong almond taste. All the desserts are mild and perfect for children! My 11-month-old ate a whole serving of tofu pudding! 6. Fangji Shizi Street Skewers 📍 No. 20, Shizi West Alley, Tongshan Street #FoodFlavors #DeliciousSnacks #LocalFood
My friend raved about the incredible Fuding snacks, so I came here specifically to try them! Originally, I hadn't planned to stop in Fuding; I was going straight from Xiapu to Wenzhou. But since he mentioned it so many times and saw pictures on social media, I decided to stay here for two days. 1⃣️Qiu Xinxiong Meat Slice Shop 📍No. 30, Danshui Bridge, Taimu Avenue My friend said any meat slice shop here is guaranteed to be good, but I still asked the owner, and he's a shop that's been open for over 30 years! Locals also go there. After ordering, I watched the owner shovel the meat slices into the pot with a spoon, just like making knife-cut noodles. The speed of his swishing movements was so appetizing. The dry-mixed meat slices I ordered were perfectly chewy. If you like a stronger flavor, add chili peppers and vinegar for a spicy and sour start! 2⃣️Laoxiang Almond Tofu 📍No. 41 Hegan Road Attracted by the name "almond tofu," a dish I've loved since childhood, I followed the waiter's recommendation and ordered the magnolia jelly almond tofu. It was much better than what I'd had in Shaoxing. I chatted with the owner about local snacks and attractions, and he recommended "ants climbing a tree." The name is quite interesting. In Fuding, it's the name of a dessert. In Taiwan, it's the name of a dish with rice noodles and minced meat. The waiter in Changzhou said it's also the name of a dish, but it uses real, edible black ants. One name, different places, different things—very interesting. I ordered the Ants Climbing a Tree, with hawthorns and raisins hanging from a strip of agar-agar. It really did look like ants climbing a tree, and I slurped it up. 3⃣️ Fang Ji Shizijie Chuanchuan 📍No. 20, Shizixi Lane, Tongshan Street It's said to be very famous. I passed by and saw a line. The portions looked small, so I bought some to try. The spicy tofu and dried tofu were delicious, especially with the sauce. The rest was just average. A quick bite cost just over 10 yuan, which is quite cheap. 4⃣️ Wu Ji Pan-fried Buns The owner of the dessert shop recommended it. When I arrived, they had just finished making a whole batch, and there was a line, so I bought one. The ingredients were substantial and it was quite good. 5⃣️ Pork Slices Grandpa (Old Shop on Shizihou Street) 📍No. 54, Gucheng West Road It's also a long-standing place. I went back the next day. The owners are an elderly couple, and there were quite a few people there. I ordered the dry stuff this time, but I personally prefer the Qiu Xinxiong stuffing from yesterday. 6️⃣ Fuding Seafood Street 📍North side of Shanshui Mingdu Kindergarten, Yanhe Road Although I was enjoying my food, I was drawn to this place on my way back to the hotel that evening. First, there were people selling seafood at the intersection late at night, then there were the sounds of red lanterns and hawkers, so I walked in. The entire street is filled with seafood stalls! The open shopfronts on both sides are filled with fresh seafood, which is very appetizing to look at, and even if you don't eat, it's still fun to just watch. Although I only stayed in Fuding for two days, the variety of snacks was really good and worth the trip. Taimu Mountain is also nearby and worth a visit. #LocalDeliciousFood#ACollectionofFantasticSnacks#TryAuthenticOldBoutiques#WhereToGoThisWeekend#SummerDriveDestinations
