💠 Cheng Bian Zhen Wei Eel Noodle

Hi everyone! I’m Wolf Wolf🪽

Today I’m in Tainan, and I want to introduce you to an old establishment founded in 1970 – Cheng Bian Zhen Wei Eel Noodle!
This restaurant has a great reputation, drawing many locals and tourists alike. However, my dining experience this time had a bit of a discrepancy, which I’d like to share for your reference.

🔸 Eel Noodle Soup (140 NTD)
Features a Tainan-style sweet, thick broth that is smooth and rich. The eel has a nice chewy texture, and the noodles absorb the broth well, performing reasonably. However, this time the broth was a bit bland, lacking the rich and aromatic warmth that one might expect, which is a bit unfortunate.

🔥 Stir-Fried Eel Noodles (190 NTD)
This dish is supposed to be the highlight, but I must say the wok flavor was noticeably lacking this time! The stir-fry aroma didn’t come through, and while the eel was decent, the overall experience felt like it lacked that soul of a stir-fry, and the taste was rather flat. The price is on the higher side but didn’t deliver the surprise one would expect.

🦑 Squid Noodle Soup (140 NTD)
The squid was very fresh, crunchy, and without any fishy taste, which is a plus! The thick soup style is similar to the eel soup, but compared to it, the taste is lighter, suitable for those who prefer milder flavors.

✍️ Personal Thoughts:
Although this restaurant is a well-known brand and might have had great strength in the past, the waiting time for this meal was very long, and I didn’t experience the "high-heat wok flavor" I expected, which felt a bit overrated. If you are a fan of Tainan's wok flavor, you might be disappointed. However, if you want to try the flavors of a classic old restaurant, it can still be on your list of places to visit!
