I visited Jinmei Night (景美夜市) for dinner. This market is located right in front of MRT Jinmei Station, making it easy to access.
I wanted to dine at a shop called A Chang Noodles (阿昌麵線臭豆腐). As the name suggests, they specialize in noodles (Taiwanese vermicelli), and it’s known for serving stinky tofu.
Here’s the menu. They mainly offer Taiwanese vermicelli with pork innards and stinky tofu, priced at 50 TWD each. You can either take it to go or enjoy it on-site. I ordered Taiwanese vermicelli and was asked by the staff if I wanted coriander. Naturally, I chose to add it.
My vermicelli was ready in just a few minutes, and I paid for it at that time.
This is the vermicelli with pork innards, served in a smaller cup. Surprisingly, it was quite filling. The vermicelli was packed tightly, with no gaps between the strands. Some couples shared this dish along with the stinky tofu. It also included a tea quail egg. Both the pork innards and eggs had a strong color, but the flavor wasn’t overpowering. The innards had a springy texture, which I enjoyed.
The vermicelli was slippery and a bit hard to catch with a spoon. The soup had a thick texture, enriched with bonito broth. The coriander added a strong contrast to the otherwise light soup.
At first, I ate it as is, but then I added vinegar, spicy miso, and grated onion. The vinegar made a significant difference to the soup, while the spicy miso was very hot!
The vermicelli itself was delicious. However, since they also serve stinky tofu, the strong odor of stinky tofu lingers while eating. If you’re not fond of its smell, I’d recommend ordering to go.
