光明水餃館-汕頭意麵

Guangming Dumpling Restaurant
Located on Guangming Street in the Xindian District, the century egg meat sauce noodles here are quite affordable with a high cost-performance ratio!
One night, I visited this Taiwanese snack spot at the recommendation of a friend.

Why do I say it has a high cost-performance ratio?
Because we ordered two bowls of noodles + dumplings + side dishes + boiled greens + soup for only 250 NT dollars! And I was really full, almost couldn’t finish (if any friends think it’s expensive, I apologize, because I usually spend at least 200 NT dollars for a meal).

Now, let me introduce the dishes:
✅ Century Egg Meat Sauce Noodles
🍝 The flavor of century egg is not too strong because it’s paired with meat sauce, which is the dominant flavor. There’s quite a bit of vegetables, so you don't have to worry about just having starch and century egg.
🍝 Besides the small and large bowls, you can also choose the type of noodles (4 types available).
🍝 I ordered thin noodles; the noodles are a bit soft, and the broth gets soaked into the noodles. However, for those who prefer firmer noodles, I recommend trying the plain noodles chosen by my friend (which has a "slightly" chewier texture compared to the thin noodles). I recall this dish tends to be soft, so I chose thin noodles.

✅ Cabbage Pork Dumplings
🥟 The dumpling skin is neither too thick nor too thin, but it is on the softer side.
🥟 It’s not too salty, nor too bland; the aroma of cabbage is quite pronounced.
🥟 The filling is relatively generous, definitely worth a try.

✅ Side Dishes and Soup
🥬 Seaweed: Served steaming hot, due to the sauce; I could not help but eat several pieces! 😆
🥬 Sweet Potato Leaves: Drizzled with meat sauce, it tastes quite fragrant and is well-prepared.
🍲 Red Meat Soup: The seasoning was a bit overwhelming; it left a slightly dry aftertaste, but the flavor was good and the meat was tasty.

After finishing the meal, I thought this place is great for those times when you’re in Xindian, wondering what to eat or looking to save some money.

So, I recommend it to everyone!
