面線町 — Restaurant in Taipei

Got a queue number at the front from the staff. We formed a queue line at the side. Queue moved quite fast since it's a dine and go concept with limited seating.

Mee sua was smooth and carried a prominent umami fragrance. Mee sua noodles were soft and slippery with the starch slurry broth.

We ordered the 🍜 Meat Ball and 🍜 Fried Fish Mee Sua, and both are small sized for NT 65 / bowl, which is a decent price for its portion.

I can't really taste the texture of fried fish, as it leans closer towards a fish fritter or cracker instead. The meat ball was big and had a bouncy meaty texture.

Minced garlic was added at the side, and mixing it in brings out an aromatic flavour, coupled with a few drops of black vinegar at the side. It opens up your palate.

Tucked away at the corner of the charming Chi Feng Street, you can find this eight seater hole-in-the-wall “alternative” Taiwanese oyster vermicelli experience. The default order should be their deluxe version with more ingredients including their signature squid but Ari and I opted for the classic as we weren’t hungry and wanted to give it a try.

This mee sua is unlike any other I've had. Its comes with a delightful medley of seafood and basil as a topping.

The atmosphere is incredibly unique, thanks in part to the old store manager and the staff from Guam who added a lot of character to the experience.

The shop also offer take away for people to enjoy in the nearby park at the corner for a less chaotic experience.

It's a must try if you are around the area for...
