At noon, guests can enjoy the classical Min-style dishes such as Buddha jumps over the wall, braised sea clam with chicken soup, batter-fried butterfly shrimp while enjoying the Min-style snacks. Guests can enjoy the Buddha jumps over the wall and other Min-style seafood dishes such as sea worm jelly and Min crisp fried pork at the dinner buffet.
