大立溫州大餛飩

Located in an alley near Taipei Main Station, my colleagues took me to have a meal at noon. I found that there are many snack bars in this alley, and it is really crowded at noon on weekdays.

Arrived at 12:10 noon, it was already full of customers, but by about 12:40 the customers were almost gone. It felt like they were mainly doing business with office workers nearby.

The items they sell are super diverse. The menu takes up an entire wall. If you want to eat dry noodles, soup noodles, fried rice, wontons, and soups, they are all available. You don’t have to worry about getting tired of them if you come here every day.

Red oil noodles $70
There are only 3 wontons, but they are quite big; the noodle is a very elastic ramen, which doesn’t look like much, but you will feel full after eating it.
I chose slightly spicy, but it was not spicy at all. I also added some chili peppers on the table. It was very fragrant and delicious.
The whole bowl of noodles tastes quite average, and it’s okay as a meal, but it’s not something that’s amazing and makes you want to have another bowl the next day.

A plate of side dishes is only $25, which is very cheap. We ordered a combination of shredded dried silk and kelp. The taste is not too salty, and it is just right to eat with noodles.

My colleague ordered shrimp zaozu for $85 and miso balls and egg drop soup for $65. The prices of these two items are not cheap. The zaozu seems to only have 5.6 pieces, which is not a big portion. However, the zaozu contains a whole shrimp, which counts. There is sincerity, the soup also looks big and hearty

The small disadvantage of this shop is that it is not very environmentally friendly. They also use paper bowls for internal use (the fried rice is served on ordinary plates). I don’t know if it is because there are not enough staff to cope with the speed of the bowls used by the crowd at noon.

p.s. Colleagues call this store "Cat Shop" because the boss has a cat. Today, the boss is very enthusiastic to introduce his cat to us. It is an ocelot with super beautiful fur~
