阿宗麵線 (台北, 中正區)

This rice noodle eatery in Ximending tourist district has actually become my place for breakfast in the past few days. A famous eatery don’t even need opulent décor or comfortable seats as the food itself is the best enticement for new and old customer, such that holding a bowl sitting or standing here and there near the entrance has become something to marvel at for new comers to Taipei like me.

Very very special indeed, I must confess I’ve taken nothing like this as a bowl of noodle before, the soup in brown is very thick, flows slowly with rice noodles of varied thickness, and a kind of brown, thin veggie that gives you the feeling of chewing tiny shredded meat in your mouth.  A few pieces of pig intestine are used which are quite crunchy and would not be too oily.

You could help yourselves anytime with the 3 different sauces as seasoning, namely Chili, Garlie, and Vinegar, though I would suggest using none of them as the noodles with its soup taste already great enough by itself.  The rice noodles is not the chewy type you would expect with ramen, garnish with corianda when it is served, this rice noodles inclines to a bland palate,  very much my kind of thing.

不是太特別的阿宗麵線
可能名氣太大, 期望過高 

終於有機會一試阿宗麵線。三個人買了兩碗share。NT40一碗(小)。無得加配料，獨姑一味。都有好多人企喺度食緊。有幾個人排緊隊。不過佢即買即畢，都好快就有。味道好好喎，唔太覺有味精，食後亦唔會口渴。食得出好香嘅木魚味，亦食到木魚碎。麵條很多，口感豐盈。豬腸不像hk那些已炆，沒有什麼味道，也比較有咬口。加上那蒜泥、醋同芫茜，味道昇華不少！
