Ay Zhong Mian Xian, literally translated as Ay Zhong Rice Flour Noodle is a 'must-eat' item when you visit Taipei.
The smooth rice flour noodle drenched in flavourful broth, accompanied by pork intestines, was really delicious. Its unique flavour could hardly be describe by words.
Spring Onion Pancake
Another common street food you can find is the Spring Onion Pancake. You can have it plain or with extra topping. My selection of toppings were basil leaves, egg and ham, spread with sweet and spicy sauce. The pancake was aromatic and has a really nice crispy and chewy texture while its topping further enhanced its flavours.
