Taiwan's Top-Rated Cold Noodle Dishes: Yongji Liang Mian

Next up is a personal recommendation from our editor, and it's also highly rated online: a noodle dish with cold broth. Every visit reveals a long queue outside, with separate lines for takeout and dine-in orders. The biggest advantage? Three portion sizes to choose from! Those with larger appetites can definitely challenge themselves with the large bowl of noodles. Aside from the noodles, the soup is another highlight of this shop. There are many different combinations to choose from, but our editor always opts for seaweed egg flower soup. After one taste, they couldn't bear to try any other options!

Lao Cao Xiang Chuan Flavor Hot Pot - Ren Ai Main Store (A Must-Try for Spicy Food Lovers)

This is also the editor's favorite spot, especially for a midday meal on weekdays. I always order the soul-stirring noodles and beef tripe vermicelli soup (shredded tofu + duck blood), but it's so spicy that I have to drink lots of water! It’s just so delicious! The restaurant’s signature dish besides its spiciness is the beef, which is a must-try. However, it often sells out quickly. It's best to come as soon as the shop opens to enjoy it!
