For lunch, having some savory Yanglan sour fish soup may help you survive the sizzling Hainan weather. Made with fish freshly caught from the sea, the soup features distinctive flavor as it is enhanced with leaves and fruits of the sour bean tree, sour star fruit and sour bamboo shoots. The appetizing dish is a local specialty of Fenghuang Town, formally known as Yanglan Town, home to Muslim Hui people who have popularized the recipe.
