文化阿給
The origin of "Danshui A-ge" on "Truth Street" features three old shops. On a weekday visit, the restaurant "Cultural A-ge" had the most diners, and their promotional efforts were the most extravagant, displaying various political and entertainment celebrities, even introducing a "Jay Chou Set Meal."
The dining area inside is not small and is in a long, narrow shape, but there is no air conditioning, making it quite stuffy. Customers must order and pick up their food at the front counter themselves.
Cultural A-ge has a unique sauce flavor that combines sweetness, saltiness, and fragrance, making it the most standout among the three old shops. Even for those who are not fans of spicy food, it still tastes great. Both the fried tofu and the vermicelli are fresh and delicious. The shop even posts instructions on how to enjoy the dish, recommending mixing the sauce with the vermicelli. However, I'm on the drier side and can accept just eating the vermicelli alone.
In one corner of the shop, an elderly person is bending over, using their hands to make A-ge. Perhaps this is also a reason why this local snack is difficult to mass-produce.
