Kāihé Shāchámiàn

Xiamen


Shāchámiàn is Fujian’s favourite street noodle dish (¥25), sauced with dried fish, onion and chilli. Which animal protein you choose to add on top depends on personal preference – pork and shellfish feature prominently – or you can opt for tofu and egg. This simple shop is identifiable by the yellow characters on the green front panel.
