A favorite Laowai hangout is the Yiyuan Hotel, just past Xiamen University on the Island Ring Road. Chef Matt (Luo Lun An), from Guangdong, spent ten years at the Xiamen Holiday Inn, working his way up from apprentice to Head Chef. Now he serves up great Chinese or Western food at Yiyuan. Try his chicken and cheese (Cordon Blue), cod, salmon, pizza, or hearty cheeseburgers 'n fries. And end the meal by a nice stroll up the beach, right across the street.
