Laicuocheng Bianshi Shop (Dayuan Road Branch)
赖厝埕扁食店（大元路店）
An old shop tracing back to 1940s street vendors who sold handmade wontons from shoulder poles. Its prawn wontons with peanut and fermented bean curd noodles are the most famous.
The founder sold handmade wontons from a shoulder pole in the 1940s and later opened this shop. It is now run by his son, who still makes the wontons by hand. The signature prawn wonton soup uses a pork bone broth, with prawns wrapped inside the pork filling, and is served with peanut and fermented bean curd noodles, the classic old-Xiamen way to eat it. The storefront is simple. The per-person spend is about RMB 18, and no reservation is needed. Located at No. 8 Dayuan Road, next to Lujiang Cinema and the Eighth Market, about 500 meters from Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. It's convenient to eat here while exploring the Eighth Market.
