Kinmen

金門

Kinmen’s specialities all trace back to tunnels and granite. Sorghum liquor from dry-field grain, aged inside the tunnels; Cantonese congee simmered until the rice dissolves on Juguang Road; a box of gong-tang peanut candy to take home — an island that has turned from battlefield back into ordinary life.
