I think this place is a little difficult to rate/review. It's run by one person who makes a set amount of bowls per day sourcing ingredients from various places in Taiwan. The shop is tiny, with only six seats, creating a nice ambiance. It feels a little exclusive because of the tiny size and its location. The owner is very nice. He's made several different flavors of ramen focusing on shoyu and shio ramen. I've had his milkfish shoyu ramen from before, but now he decided to create a new shio ramen. The shoyu ramen was good, but in my opinion, a little weird. It did indeed have a unique milkfish flavor, but it was too sweet for my taste, as if the fish skin was caramelized with sugar. The oil on top was blow torched to create a deeper flavor that added a slight bitterness to the soup. The sweetness and bitterness along with the saltiness tasted good but a little strange. It used a slightly smoked chicken breast chashu and a blow torched chicken thigh chashu that were pretty good. The daikon and bamboo shoots were very good too.
Even though that bowl was a little strange for my taste, I kind of miss its unique blend of flavor. Now the chef makes an exceptionally light tasting bowl of shio ramen topped with multi-colored carrots from Taichung, dried mango, fresh pineapple, chicken chashu, half a ramen egg, and a mint leaf. It certainly makes for a bizarre looking bowl of ramen, but it's surprisingly good in the sense that it doesn't actually taste weird. It's hard to describe since my palate just isn't particularly sensitive or refined; I have to make a few more visits to ask the chef himself. The bowl is very light, I didn't feel full despite finishing the whole thing, and the chef was out of chashu rice for the day.
Overall, I really love this place for its ambiance and for the chef. It's a tiny shop with only six seats, but it feels warm and inviting. If I lived closer, I can see myself going ever week. I feel like the rating that I give this shop is less a reflection of how good it objectively is and more just how much I...

老闆用心的使用台灣在地食材且走不同於台灣現況熱門的拉麵,朝向淡麗方向前進走出自己的風格特色出來。
配料上下足苦工,且擺盤有自己的風格特色。
叉燒飯也是非常好吃的品項,通常第一批就會售罄。 所以想吃要早點去排隊呦!
▎黑潮:
麵的擺盤一樣有悠然的風格,這碗注目的焦點應該就是糯米椒了(顏色反差)。
湯的味道聞起來我自己不太喜歡,有一股魚干的腥臭味... 跟壹之穴的99醬油早期有一段時間相似的味道感受,雖然喝起來沒有。 湯喝起來煮干味道不強烈,醬油味道為主接著帶出煮干的味道。
這碗最大的亮點就是有4種叉燒肉的呈現,4種味道感受的變化。
分別是: 低溫調理豬梅花肉 炙燒低溫調理豬梅花肉 日本胡桃木燻製低溫調理雞胸肉 炙燒低溫調理雞胸肉
悠然的叉燒肉沒話說,就是好吃! 不過炙燒過的味道相對重口,所以建議要擺在後面品嘗較佳。 裡面最喜歡的就是燻製的雞肉,我自己很愛木頭燻製的那個味道~
然後每次悠然的溏心蛋半顆都不滿足,這次用阿松漫畫內的兌換劵換了一整顆吃的好爽! 那個液體的蛋液真的很滿足,帶著淡淡的龍眼蜂蜜香氣,這溏心蛋只有悠然有~
竹筍沒有太特別調味,口感還OK。 蘿蔔片吃到的時候有種在吃菜頭湯的錯覺~ (我自己很愛
不過比較可惜地方就是糯米椒的味道太重了,吃完在嘴巴那一直殘留那味道。 其他湯和配料沒辦法覆蓋,導致吃完後嘴巴只剩糯米椒的味道有點可惜... 如果是擺盤亮點使用我覺得非常可以,不過搭配整體我覺得是有扣分到。ˊˋ
麵條軟硬度我沒有調整,預設屬於還保有芯感但又不會過頭。 悠然的麵我自己覺得不適合太硬,會有點麵湯分離感。
▎樂園: 這碗的湯底是鹽味雞湯底,整體來說很清爽而且有細緻的鳳梨香氣。 吃麵的過程都能夠感受到鳳梨不斷的出現跟你打招呼~
吃到一半旁邊的鳳梨泥果凍可以弄開融入湯內,會增加湯的口感轉變和鳳梨香氣up!
不過對於我這個鳳梨愛好者來說,這樣有一點搔不到癢處。(抖M 除了旁邊的鳳梨塊可以稍解癮頭外,吧檯桌上的鳳梨醋我覺得是這碗的重頭戲! 加了之後,這碗才讓我有了吳君如Wow的感受~ (笑
不得不說,鳳梨醋加入融合後,鳳梨香氣和酸味正中紅心的襲來! 這樣收尾非常可以且很滿足~ :D
▎南國: 首先要說,這碗的擺盤呈現真的很棒! 這是有別於目前台灣拉麵常見的擺盤,是已經創造出自我風格的,這非常不簡單~
老闆說常常都會去市場逛看有什麼食材可以使用的。
湯頭的呈現很清澈,搭配色彩繽紛的胡蘿蔔和鳳梨芒果。 光看真的很清爽!
不過湯頭上不知道是否為了保溫度,油的部分蠻多的。 吃到最後會覺得偏油,這部分跟期待的感受有一點落差是我覺得比較可惜的部分。
蘿蔔的特殊味道感受明顯,如果怕的麵友可能要留意。 然後紫蘿蔔真的很狂,馬上就開始侵門踏戶的釋放顏色,周圍的湯和沾到的麵都有。
老闆說試過泡水一陣子後在使用還是一樣,現在在想辦法去處理這問題。
湯頭味道是很細緻的雞湯鹽味,雞的特有香氣明顯。 不過本來預期主角會帶有果香,但是需要泡一陣子或是水果周圍才會有感受,是這碗我覺得另外一個跟期待有點小落差的地方。
但是吃到芒果前我非常好奇這樣到底搭不搭,只是沒想到芒果香在雞湯內串出的瞬間我獲得了滿足。 好讚阿!可是只有那短暫的美好時光。
鳳梨的味道我覺得沒有芒果來的深刻,但是也是有類似的感受;不知道如果只單純呈現某一種水果在湯內,不知道這碗會變得怎麼樣?
這讓我想到日本那間「パパパパパイン」,鳳梨和湯完美結合而不是只有轉換的感受。
我很期待之後修正後的呈現,老闆加油!:D
悠然的雞肉叉燒不用多說,好吃阿~ 本來想加點,但是現場的量抓的剛剛好不太夠。TAT 叉燒肉這次的炙燒沒那麼重,不會蓋過或是搶戲。
麵體帶有Q度但不軟爛,另外薄荷吃下的時候轉換了味道。 也是這碗的小驚喜~
整體這碗的平衡很棒,但是應該還能再更好! 給老闆壓力一下,希望老闆不要介意。:D
▎大地:
大地這碗跟湯咖哩一樣有很多的蔬菜配料,當然也有我不太喜歡的蔬菜...(笑
但是我還是有全部吃光光呦!吃拉麵可以解決挑食,好拉麵不吃嗎?!:D 配料味道呈現上都是以食物的原味為呈現。
湯頭的味道呈現這次有出來,聽到旁邊麵友日常食札 Diary of...
