π½οΈ Food Recommendations:
1οΈβ£ Firewood Rice - Gongchen Subdistrict, Licheng District, Putian, Fujian
Salty rice is only available at noon, and the delicious soup is only available in the evening, so we recommend visiting at noon. The flavors are amazing! ππ₯
2οΈβ£ Longqiao Wonton - No. 70, Jianshe Road, Fenghuangshan Subdistrict, Chengxiang District, Putian, Fujian
We didn't try the signature pig liver, but the other offal dishes were authentic and worth a try! π·π²
3οΈβ£ Achang Soy Milk Stir Fry - No. 78β92, Jianshe Road, Chengxiang District, Putian, Fujian
Located next to Longqiao Wonton, this place is always packed! The soy milk is normal, the Jian Guo is a bit oily, but the Yanpi Wonton Soup is delicious, with a flavor similar to lean meat soup. π±π³
This trip to Putian was truly rewarding!
