🚩Geographical Location 🧭
Located near the intersection of Dazhen Street and Jianxing Street in the East District of Taichung City, the alley next to No. 128 Dazhen Street is easily overlooked and not very easy to find.
Since there isn't a sign displaying the name, I just named it myself.
🪑About the Overall Atmosphere 🎡
Sometimes when I pass by this area, I think this alley seems to have a small eatery since it is usually quite crowded. However, I couldn't find any reviews on Google Maps for this place. It’s simply a small awning covering the cooking area, and it operates right in this alley. Given how many people visit, I figured I’d give it a try!
💰About Pricing 💰
The prices are clearly displayed above the stall. I ordered the dry yellow noodles for $35. For side dishes, I had a portion of tofu ($25) and a braised egg ($15)—I might have forgotten the prices exactly.
🍴About the Dishes ☕
Personally, I'm not a fan of chives, and to my surprise, the noodles came piled high with them! If you don't like them, make sure to tell the owner beforehand. The noodles are quite standard and not overly salty, and they are cooked through. The tofu doesn’t taste much like what you normally get outside; it has a texture that lies between being soft and firm. It's not bad, but I wouldn't call it particularly delicious either.
🤨Conclusion ♥
This place is quite affordable. On my first visit, there were too many customers, and I ended up going to another noodle shop, which was super bad and expensive. Fortunately, this time I patiently waited in line and discovered a nice little eatery!
