A taste of Xiamen
Hao Shi Lai Dapaidang
好食来大排档
A second-generation Minnan seafood canteen going since 1993, the kind of noisy open-fronted place the city calls a dapaidang. Known for clay-pot seared yu fish, which is tender and oily, and salt-and-pepper baby eel with a brittle coating. Service is notably friendly by local standards.
