Lukang Township, Changhua County｜玄娘亭•小館

sampled the spicy braised meat rice (TWD 35), braised vegetables (TWD 20), medium dry noodles (TWD 45), and some sort of flat dumpling with a fish filling (TWD 30). the proprietor seems to have attained some sort of recognition of cooking finesse, judging by something that was hanging on the wall and the level of attention to presentation (you'll see what i mean in the photos). it's especially apparent with the vegetables and the braised meat rice. the braised meat rice was nice and presentation was well thought out--the meat was cut into meat only and fat only cubes. the braised vegetables were presented skillfully and well seasoned. to be clear, the vegetables pack a lot more flavor than one would expect. texture clearly indicates they are not overcooked either. the dry noodles were absolutely scrumptious with the springy noodles coated in a braised meat mixture (not the same as braised meat rice) that was mostly lean ground meat. goldilocks amount of moisture and you can add a chili sauce that really puts the whole dish over the top. the flat dumplings (bian chi?) were filled with a sort of fish (cha yu?). tasted of the sea but not to the point of being excessively fishy. again, not a dish you see everyday and done rather well.

tasty! The CP value is super high!
