Xiaole Noodle Mingquan Store — Restaurant in New Taipei

Nothing too surprising. We had fried rice, vegetable and dumpling soup. All were within expected standard. Nothing amazing but nothing to complain too (ok… perhaps dumpling soup was a bit salty). Fried rice was worth trying. Wouldn’t travel distance to try but if you run out of option for lunch or dinner, here won’t...

During peak hours they don't open the other half of the restaurant despite having half a dozen waiters who can help clean and serve easily. They also let single customers occupy tables for four and not offer them to be seated together with other singles. The utter lack of care and laid back attitude of the staff...

▲油豆腐丸子湯$70，這碗湯端上桌還蠻讓人震驚，真的很大一碗， 裡面的料也很多，完全沒有在客氣的，湯頭的味道不會很重， 帶有甘甜味，比起一般小吃店的白色高湯更加有層次， 尤其搭配油豆腐天然的孔洞吸附滿滿湯汁，再一口吃進嘴裡， 湯汁滿溢口腔，把滿足感拉抬到最高， 份量多到會讓人吃到最後覺得有完沒完(沒錯，這是稱讚😋)， 另外川丸子大概有4、5顆，外表炸至焦糖色， 一入口就有油炸香氣擴散，軟而不爛的口感相當誘人， 保有豬肉本身的鮮甜味

▲蝦仁紅油抄手麵$95，一碗有5顆蝦仁抄手， 光看到抄手隱約有蝦仁的身影而且又飽滿，就知道一定好吃 充分的將醬料與麵攪拌均勻，表面散發油亮光澤， 卻不會令人感到油膩，處於十分精準恰當的狀態， 伴隨花椒的香氣非常誘人 每顆抄手裡都包有一隻完整飽滿的蝦子和肉末， 蝦子保有彈性不軟爛，和肉末各自散發不同的鮮甜味， 真的很好吃💗

▲排骨蛋炒飯$120，一大塊有厚度的排骨鋪在炒飯上， 一旁附些許榨菜，真的跟印象中的鼎泰豐炒飯一模一樣😍 (大概只有盛裝的容器不一樣吧XD) 排骨鮮嫩不在話下，入口咀嚼更能嚐到醃漬過的香氣， 而且不要說一碗要價$120很貴， 光這厚度就可以打趴很多便當店跟專賣排骨的店家， 份量絕對是對的起價錢~ 炒飯的顏色比一般快炒店的還淺，相對吃起來口味較清爽， 而且應該是我吃過最不油的炒飯了， 真的非常好奇這種炒飯到底怎麼炒出來的? 沒有過多的油脂卻能夠粒粒分明，該有的鍋香氣也沒少， 再搭配雞蛋的清香，是簡單...
