Start a day of living as a local Hainanese with a bowl of Baoluo vermicelli, which are rice noodles and the most popular breakfast option in Sanya. Located at the southernmost point in China, Sanya is famed as having the best rice because of the warm weather and rich soil.
Most Hainanese live on rice. The Baoluo vermicelli is named after Baoluo County in Wenchang City in Hainan.
The quality of the vermicelli and flavor of the soup make the dish. The soup is elaborately cooked with pig or ox bones for more than half a day.
The cook should skim off the residue continually to keep the soup clear enough to see the bottom.
The vermicelli should be semitransparent, chewy at first. Food aficionados can choose from more than 20 kinds of toppings and sauces like fried peanuts, sesame, beef, bamboo shoots, pickled cabbage and the famous Xinglong pepper sauce, which is made from yellow lantern peppers from Xinglong County.
According to local people’s recommendations, Xiaozheng vermicelli shop on Hexi Road is the hottest spot for diners.
