Located in Taitung, Lanzhou Xiaofang is a simple eatery that offers straightforward dishes without much fancy decoration. The overall atmosphere leans towards a casual dining experience, perfect for those looking to enjoy a simple bowl of noodles with some small side dishes to wrap up a meal.

This time, we ordered the scallion oil dry noodles, blanched greens, QQ meat, and today's soup of the day—corn soup. The scallion oil dry noodles use salted water noodles, and as soon as it arrives at the table, you can immediately smell the distinct fragrance of scallions. The noodles have a chewy texture, and once mixed, every bite carries the sweetness of scallions and the richness of the sauce. The seasoning isn’t overpowering but has clear layers, making it the kind of dish that leaves you feeling satisfied without being too heavy.

The blanched greens are standard, simply drizzled with sauce to maintain the natural sweetness of the vegetables, making it a perfect accompaniment to the main dish. The QQ meat is one of the highlights, with a bouncy texture that isn’t too tough. While chewing, you can feel the interplay between the fat and lean meat, which pairs perfectly with the dry noodles and spicy sauce.

Today's soup is corn soup, with a sweet broth that clearly reflects the natural sweetness of corn. It’s a plus that you can request more soup, significantly enhancing the overall satisfaction of the meal as a complement to the dry noodles and small dishes.
