The Famous Ay-Chung Flour Rice Noodles!

My next adventure came just 250 meters away from the Barbecue Duck place. The cosmopolitan Taiwanese dude was nice enough to not just assist me in ordering at the barbecue place, he even accompanied me to the Famous flour noodle place! (kinda reminds me of rural folk in the Philippines who will really get off their carabaos just to give you proper instructions, and would be willing to leave their carabao to ride with you just to make sure you don't get lost).

The dude who accompanied me can be seen in the picture above, he's the leftmost guy with glasses. He's kind of a metrosexual kasi japorms sya e.

As we approached the place I observed a humungous line that dwarfs the line at the barbecue place. This of course excited me tremendously!

The line was moving steadily and quite quickly. I later found out that the product line was not very diverse. Their main product was the flour rice noodles with some pork broth soup with some pork intestines. You only have to choose between 2 sizes: medium and large.

As such the assmbly line was quite simple, with one guy getting the order, one guy scooping the noodle soup and one guy getting the payment.

They serve the noodle soup to you piping hot. And once you get the soup you go to the street and eat it standing up. I guess it's part of the "aliw factor" seeing 20 guys standing around sipping soup in the street.

The Flour rice soup is basically miswa, and the taste is much like nilagang baboy. But you do taste the freshness of the noodles as well as the pork innards. (you might say Euck! but did you know that most gourmet cuisine around the world consist of innards one way or the other).

The soup was piping hot and once you finish it, you find yourself sweating like a pig...yet refreshed!

Another thing to point out is the discipline of the customers. Outside the place in the sidewalk you will find 2 pails.

One pail is for unfinished soup and the other is for the used bowls and spoons. Automatically after eating people then line up to dispose of their used bowls in the pails. Ang galing! Parang trained na sila na wag magkalat.

Above is a picture of 2 lovebirds feeding hot Flour Noodle soup to each other. Sweet noh! Aaaaw.

We walked more after the noodle place and we explored. The place Shing Lin is a night market and you'd enjoy yourself just watching the streets bustle with people looking at the millions of little items that they sell on the street side.

Before goin home we passed by a little hole in a wall resto where we had Taiwan's famous Ground meat on top of rice meal.

Its a pretty popular dish which I heard even my grandpa likes to have.

By the end of the night we were stuffed like turkeys but I was happy to experience the Taiwan street food night life!

That marked the end of my Taiwan adventure. But I vow never to rest while there are scrumptous dishes out there, waiting to be discovered by The anonymous Foodtripper!
