TWN: Ay-Chung Flour-Rice Noodle (阿宗麵線)

Legendary mee sua with pork intestine!

Ay-chung mee sua (Chinese thin noodle made of wheat flour) has been an icon in Ximending since 1975, serving but just one dish which has made most, if not all, people go crazy.


You'll always see a queue whenever you patronise the humble shop. If there's no queue, it means that they've got no more stock for the day. Haha...


Pork Intestine Mee Sua (Large) NT$60.00 (~S$2.50)
Taste: 8.5/10

Definitely a must-try in Taipei, that bowl of warm mee sua (Chinese thin noodle made of wheat flour) coupled with the fiery chili truly warmed my soul. The slimy, silky and slippery noodle was swimming in a thick broth which was packed with flavours and garlicky as well. The chewy large intestines were properly cleaned so they didn't have any foul smell.

Melon's Rating
Taste: 8.5/10

I know for sure that I want to get a bowl or two whenever I go to Taipei. Pika's advice: You can buy a jar of their chili if you like it very much!

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Pancake x  soufflé originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain café renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflé pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.
