[China: Xiamen] 1* Yanyu 宴遇·福建会馆

Rating: 4/5

First time in Xiamen and our welcome dinner took place at Yanyu 宴遇·福建会馆 which received 1 Michelin Star in the inaugural Michelin Guide for Fujian province! The restaurant is founded by Fujian master chef Wu Rong who also opened the acclaimed Meet The Bund restaurants in Shanghai. While often overshadowed by Cantonese and Sichuan cuisine on the global stage, Min cuisine actually has a huge influence overseas with the Fujian diaspora in Southeast Asia and abroad. Thus it is the goal of Chef Wu to promote and highlight the culinary heritage of Fujian.

Our dinner started with a parade of the prized ingredients from the land and sea of Xiamen. From sting rays to sand worms, fugu to red prawns, the menu is a celebration of traditional Fujian flavors with an elevated and contemporary approach. Broth making is particularly important in the region’s cuisine - there’s a saying that one broth can be changed into ten forms (一湯十變). That philosophy is evident in many of the stellar dishes we had including the fugu skin soup with morel mushrooms, signature steamed taro with braising sauce, soy sauce poached sting ray liver, and traditional Minnan noodles.
