Gulangyu's main commercial street near the ferry terminal is entirely given over to snack stalls and chain restaurants targeting day-trippers. Avoid it. The better eating is in the back lanes, where small restaurants serve Fujianese home cooking to island residents and those few visitors who take the trouble to find them. Xiamen's famous oyster omelette (่ตไป็ ), seafood noodles, and peanut soup are the dishes to look for.
