Ren’ai District, Keelung City｜巷弄麻將烏龍麵

Delicious, a little expensive

The dry udon noodles are made with sesame paste and bean paste. The udon noodles are quite good (I prefer the udon noodles from the No. 6 Afen specialty store). After mixing well, they are salty and smooth. The sesame paste is mixed with bean paste. The taste is simple and unpretentious, yet so charming. I fell in love with it the first time I tasted it. The ingredients of Keelung Dry Noodles are mostly simple bean sprouts, which is refreshing and crispy. I like it very much. The fish dumpling soup surprised me and I liked it even more. It has a standard big bone soup flavor, with some pickles added to enhance the flavor. The store’s homemade fish dumplings are more delicious than Sanji’s, and they are bigger. The skin is smooth and the meat filling is fresh. I will try it in the future. If I have the chance, I will bring a cooler bag to buy frozen fish dumplings, which will soon be included in one of the most powerful hot pot ingredients. This is another local alley delicacy in Keelung. It’s great! Keelung fish dumplings are very famous. I have always wondered why they don’t sell fish dumpling soup. This time I finally tried it. I had a bowl of fish dumpling soup for breakfast. It was so comfortable! After leaving Tainan, I haven’t had delicious fish dumplings for a long time. This unknown noodle shop in Lane 265, Ren 1st Road, has been open for nearly 70 years and has very early opening hours. If I lived in Keelung, I would be a regular customer.

When it comes to fish dumplings, plus Keelung, more than 80% of the people will say that they are Sanji fish dumplings, but at the noodle stalls in the alley, the store’s homemade fish dumplings are twice the size of the head, with the bite of the skin and the filling. The matching can be said to be a perfect match. The soup is not as light as water, but it has the richness of tonkotsu ramen in the mouth without the heavy burden. Looking at the types of soups on the wall, there are various internal organs, and one can deduce that the richness of the soup will not be swallowed by ready-made seasoning powder and water. Quick way. Fish dumpling soup and udon noodles are my personal standard. The seasoning on the udon noodles looks like fried noodles, but it smells like sesame noodles with peanut aroma. If it is not stirred immediately when it is served, it is easy to form lumps, it does not matter, a small spoonful of soup is mixed in, it is equally delicious. What I have to recommend is the homemade hot sauce, which is even sold separately. When ordering side dishes, the store will serve a small plate with soy sauce paste. The soy sauce paste is also reprocessed by the store. It has minced garlic and is sweeter than the commercially available soy sauce paste. Add a spoonful of hot sauce in a small iron bowl on the table to add flavors of dried tofu, kelp, and even many internal organs, and it will not be so spicy that the tongue loses its taste. It is a comfortable level of spiciness. But it's enough for one person to eat.
