正老牌魷魚平
The Wanghua old shop has quite a few squid soup snack places nearby, but after trying them all, this one has the strongest flavor. What initially attracted me was the yellow tiled columns, the orange and green electric fans, and the hanging plants, creating an overall cute Taiwanese atmosphere. Most customers order a combo set, which includes “rice noodles + squid soup.” The owner will ask if you want it spicy; if so, the spice is added to the soup. The squid soup is the main highlight; the broth looks light but the first sip is full of the aroma of bonito flakes with some radish in the soup base and a hint of garlic. You can taste the fresh sweetness of the squid soup, combined with the fragrance of cilantro and Thai basil, which complements the beginning and end of each bite. The squid soup contains dried squid wrapped in fish paste, but the main attraction is the broth’s freshness and sweetness, integrating all the ingredients beautifully. The broth really stands out, and if you add spice, it has a strong spicy aroma, but it's quite spicy. Since I usually have a low tolerance for spice, I ordered it with mild heat. The rice noodles are standard, being fine Hsinchu rice noodles drizzled with meat sauce that has a hint of wine aroma. It’s a satisfying meal overall, with a portion that feels very fulfilling; for women, it might be a bit filling. The price is indeed slightly higher compared to nearby snacks, but it’s worth it for the thoughtfully prepared broth, with ingredients carefully blended into it.
