A-Cheng Hao Introduction
A-Cheng, run by boss Ye Rongjun, has a history of over seventy years in Hsinchu. Back in the day, many people gathered at the temple entrance, resembling wandering merchants selling medicated plasters, along with worshippers. Thus, an old pushcart was set up at the temple entrance to sell rice noodles. The business passed down from the owner's great-grandfather to his grandfather, who was known as A-Cheng, given the name of this establishment, named after the Chenghuang Temple. Apart from the well-known stir-fried rice noodles, A-Cheng is also famous for its assorted soup and meatball soup, which have been served since the great-grandfather's time, earning a solid reputation. The rice noodles are handmade and dried naturally in Hsinchu's wind, giving them a unique chewy texture. Coupled with the boss's special braising sauce, which includes streaky pork and garlic paste, many food lovers sing its praises, including former President Chiang, President Lee, Governor Song, and Wu Boxiong, who have all patronized this place.
