Zhonghe District, New Taipei City｜六阿姨緬甸麵食

2023.04.01 Knowing that the restaurant owner is considering to retire, I swiftly made a plan to visit this place. The restaurant is located in a narrow alley with no obvious banner at the entrance of the intersection so it would be better to turn o Google Map all the time or ask the locals while walking. Not recommend to go by cars as there is no parking lots. The owner was so friendly, too friendly compared to the majority of Taiwanese strangers, so I was able to ask so many questions, had fun, relaxing, and “too full” time her. I mean, I only ordered one bowl of soup but eventually tried everything on the menu 🤣 Also, I found the locals tend to greet with people with Burmese language, then switch to Chinese if you look confused. I love that habit because it means they are still using their own language, so the descendants are still feel connected to the motherland at some extent. As I am not in rush and my bowl kept refilling itself with more food, I got to learn a lot of trivia from the elderly customers and the owner, who are all over 70 yrs! For example, they were the first generation of immigrants from Burma to Taiwan for business instead of the war; how to cook the fish soup is by pan-frying the fish and seasoning vegetables first, then adding the chicken stock. After the meal, I felt satisfied both mentally and physically 💕

From snacks to restaurants, it used to be open in the market. The fish soup noodle soup is rich and very authentic. It is said that locals in Myanmar eat this for breakfast. But the taste is too heavy. Occasionally it is a good choice

The coconut noodles are rich and delicious! big duck blood
