West Central District, Tainan City｜Du Hsiao Yueh Tainan Branch

Du Hsiao Yueh, originally from Tainan and famous for their traditional Tainan noodles (Danzai Noodles), is definitely a must try for their food, price and a more pleasant setting that is in stark contrast to the more local establishments elsewhere. Danzai Noodles (TWD 50) Probably the dish most people come here for, it’s a noodle dish using egg noodles, an umami prawn broth, braised minced pork on top and a single prawn. The pork has a bit of spice and you can opt out of cilantro and garlic if you do not like them. This is definitely a must try, the serving is small enough for everyone to have one! Deep-fried Shrimp Roll (TWD 180) It’s not stated in the English naming, but it’s actually a signature dish and I would recommend getting it as a side dish! It’s perfectly crispy with lots of prawn alongside some vegetables to fill. Roasted Milk-fish Stomach (TWD 180) In case you’re wondering, no it’s not the internal organ but the flesh that resides around the stomach portion of the fish. The fish is very tender and is tasty enough to eat without any additional seasonings. With the plum powder, it gives it an extra kick and savouriness, reminiscent of night market street food. It also takes 10-15 minutes to grill this fish so it will come after the rest of the dishes are served.

For anyone visiting Tainan, must try. Their Danzai Noodles, braised pork over rice, deep fry tofu and the fish. Special shout out to their deep fry tofu. It was just too good. Perfectly crisp on the outside and pudding like in the inside and the sauce which comes with was a perfect compliment.
