Wu Zaitian

Founded by Wu Zaitian and run for more than sixty years, this is one of Xiamen's best-loved traditional snack houses. Continued in later years under the name Jiawei Zaitian and passed down across three generations, locals treat it as a living encyclopedia of Xiamen snacks.

Under one roof it gathers dozens of Xiamen classics—satay noodles, taro dumplings, oyster omelette, sandworm jelly, vermicelli paste—letting you taste old Xiamen in a single sitting.

Each item sticks to local hand-made tradition, keeping the homely character of Xiamen street snacks—the basis of its decades-long reputation.

Wu Zaitian is a celebrated local Xiamen snack house, not a Ministry of Commerce China Time-honored Brand; it is listed here as a noted local establishment.
