Xiamen-type spring rolls are delicious. I had them for the first time at Shawna's second cousin's (her dad's cousin) house for lunch about a month ago. Within the roll you place a spoonful of crushed peanut, a spoonful of dried, shredded seaweed, and some cilantro. Then you pack in a mixture of cooked vegetables, pork, and oysters.
I've noticed that cilantro is a key ingredient in a lot of foods in this region, which comes as a welcome surprise. I've never had cilantro in Chinese food prior to coming here.
Another thing I've seen here is a half-sphere gelatinous substance containing parasite-like worms. Don't want to eat that just yet... like the barbecued rat on a stick I saw in Guangxi.
