📍Near Dihua Street, across from Yongle Elementary School, there is a traditional snack shop that has been selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand for several consecutive years. The menu is simple, offering only rice, noodles, and various cold cuts. Parking nearby is not convenient, and there is almost always a line.

🍽️ Environment
The traditional shop is located in an alley, with the tiled bar area at the entrance serving as the kitchen, which can also seat a few people. Inside, there are about 6 or 7 tables that can accommodate around 20-30 people, and tables are usually combined. Overall, it is generally clean, but don't expect it to be overly pristine. Sometimes, even before 9 am, a crowd starts to form, but luckily, the table turnover is quite high. When it's your turn, the staff will help take your order and explain the remaining items.

🍜 Dishes
▪️ Soup Noodles $20
▪️ Sliced Pig Liver $50
I decided to stop by on a whim and arrived close to 2 pm, with about 10 people in line ahead of me. The only item left on the menu was noodles; the only cold cuts available were pig liver and pig heart, so I ordered the soup noodles and a serving of pig liver. You can negotiate the portion for the cold cuts with the staff, but there is a minimum order requirement. The soup noodles are very simple, consisting only of broth and noodles. The broth is quite pleasant and sweet, and drinking it won't leave you thirsty, so it seems they didn't add MSG! The portion of noodles is decent for only $20. The pig liver is served cold, tender, and does not have any fishy taste; it’s delicious whether added to the soup noodles or eaten with dipping sauce.

😁 Overall, it’s a pretty good snack shop with very reasonable prices. Unfortunately, there are no other items available for cold cuts. I heard that the red fermented pork is one of their specialties, and the rice mixed with pork fat is also quite enticing. I will definitely come back earlier one day to line up and try other items.
