Time:December 16, 2013  Author:  Editor:  Source:   Photo:

 

Though I am not a gastronome, I am a one-hundred-percent-food-lover. I have tasted various kinds of foods just outside the Main and North Gates of GDUFS and found some places really suited to my taste. With the help of other diners' comments on the foods available, and based on my own experiences, my fellow students and I have established the categories,hoping they will help in adding to your dining pleasure!

 

NOTE:

Restaurants are listed from nearest to farthest from the North Gate

 

 

Shaxian Snacks (沙县小吃)

Opening hours: 10:00 am - 22:00 pm

Meal price: 4 yuan~14 yuan per person

Tel: 36642433

Recommended menu: Wonton, steamed dumplings, fried rice cake

Commentary: Shaxian snacks, as a type of Chinese traditional food, originates in Fujian Province. This cuisine is well-known for the unique flavor and low price. Mainly selling snacks, Shaxian Xiaochi has many branches all over China. There are two branches on this street but I strongly recommend the one nearest the North Gate as it is more authentic and has a better reputation.

Tip: Take-out service is available for orders of more than 10 Yuan.
