Yamei Hainan Rice Noodle

Authentic sour noodles. The shop is small in the old street. It should have been open for a long time. Many locals come to eat a bowl in the morning. There are many dishes. It is delicious! There is also free soup! Very cheap and really good value for money

This is a small shop. I came across it by chance while shopping. I didn't think it was very impressive at first, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, my friend told me that this shop is super famous, so I finally ate there once. It's pretty good!

I went there after lunch time, and there were still many people. It's a century-old shop. My ancestors have been making Hainan noodles for generations. The taste is really delicious. There are two flavors of soup noodles and dry noodles. They are divided into large, medium and small bowls, which is very considerate. [Environment] Average [Taste] Very good [Service] Very good

Ximen Street is only two or three hundred meters long. In the middle of the small street, you can easily find this legendary old noodle shop. In Hainanese, "Amei" is called "Yamei". Hearing the name of "Yamei Noodle Shop", many people would think that the proprietress "Yamei" should be a young woman in her twenties or thirties. In fact, this "Yamei" is surnamed Pan and is already 70 years old. The ingredients of Yamei Hainan noodles are very rich, up to more than a dozen, including beef jerky, pork jerky, fried peanuts, fried crisps, bean sprouts, chopped pickled cabbage, minced garlic, chopped sesame, chopped green onions, chopped coriander, as well as soy sauce, secret sauce, etc. The store is not large but clean and tidy. The small store is full of diners who come to eat noodles. Those who come first find an empty seat to sit down, order a bowl of "Hainan noodles" and eat it. After eating, the empty bowl will be taken away immediately, and the table will be cleaned immediately. The later ones will fill it up, one wave after another, and the store is very lively. The seemingly inconspicuous bowl of Haibai soup is very fresh. The marinade strings the whole bowl of Hainan noodles, which is salty, sweet, and sauce-flavored. Peanuts and glutinous rice cakes are added, which is rich in layers. The tender white and soft rice noodles are sprinkled with crispy noodles, peanuts, bean sprouts, beef shreds and other ingredients, and then drizzled with a layer of secret bamboo shoot sauce. Stir the noodles evenly before eating, and add some chili sauce. It's really great! In fact, the ingredients of each Hainan noodle shop are basically the same. The key lies in the taste quality of the rice noodles and the taste changes brought by the exclusive secret sauce. It is particularly worth mentioning that the small pieces of crispy fried noodles in Hainan noodles are called "fried crisps" in Hainanese, which taste fragrant and crispy. ❤️❤️Remember, the authentic way to eat Hainan noodles in Haikou old neighborhood is like this - leave some noodles in the bowl when you are almost finished, and ask the waiter to scoop a small spoonful of the secret sauce for noodles (there are some bamboo shoots in it, which is best for soup), and the big kettle on the coal stove is filled with hot and light conch soup. Pour all of this into the bowl, and the pickled noodles will immediately turn into soup noodles, which are salty, fresh, sour and sweet, and have a different taste. There is no waste at all, and you can drink it all up. After eating and drinking, pay the bill and leave. The most lively Haikou STYLE life starts with a bowl of Hainan noodles!

Wandering around the Qilou Old Street, I walked into a street with many shops on both sides, which looked like time-honored brands. Yamei Authentic Hainan Noodle Shop, a simple shop converted from an old residential building, can be described as shabby and old. I ordered dry Hainan noodles with some snail meat. It tasted very good, so I came here again the next day to eat it.

The taste of Hainan noodles is relatively light, and the ingredients are quite particular. A medium bowl is enough, and it is a lot. You must order a bowl of conch soup, as only the conch soup can bring out the aroma of Hainan noodles.
