I've been meaning to try 刀削麵 since I've been here, but for some reason or other, it's never come up when I eat with friends. However, this time, my friend was suggesting places to eat and this came up and so she brought me here. The noodles are made differently, as the name says, they "shave" the noodles with a knife so the noodles come out in pieces, but they're very "Q" and chewy and delicious. I decided to have something more common here in Taiwan and got Beef Noodle Soup with the noodles 刀削.

I must say, it was delicious. I would definitely come here again to eat these noodles.

My friend got 酸辣麵 and it looked decent, but I prefer eating beef noodles. You won't be disappointed! There's also another branch of this store located on YongKang Street, I discovered it wandering around the area, so it's closer to where I am, so if I'm craving these noodles, I can always find them.

吉馬陳蚵仔麵線大王 (Ji Ma - King of Oyster Noodles)

This store has four chains, but I went to the one on Zhong Shan, right next to the MRT station. This isn't the front of the store, but it was a meal they offered.

I'm not a big fan of oyster noodles. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat them, especially with the intestines. Definitely not fond of anything remotely close to internal organs. However, I will admit that this place was not bad. The sausage was pretty good, but the zhong zi was pretty disappointing. The meal also came with a small plum drink, which was delicious!

It looked good, it was small and compact, but upon eating this morsel of food, it was slightly disastrous. Not only was it dry, it was tasteless and just not very good.

This was much better. I didn't eat the internal organs, of course, but the oysters were plump and did not have that sea taste or as they say in Chinese, 腥. The flavor of the dish was not bad and the noodles were thin and had a good flavor to them.

However good this dish is supposed to be, I am personally not a fan of it, so I'm not too sure how I felt about this place. They have good sausages and the prices are reasonable, so if you're a fan of oyster noodles, I'm sure you'd enjoy this place.

It actually looks further than it is on this map, it's actually quite close to the exit 2, maybe a 2 minute walk and you're there.
