Shuangxing Sweet Potato Balls Introduction
This well-known Shuang Xing sweet potato noodles shop is always bustling with customers on weekdays, and even more so on weekends. Although this shop has been around for fourteen or fifteen years and is now run by the second generation, it has been renovated and looks anything but old; instead, it has a touch of modernity. While it may lack some of the old charm, it provides a clean and bright space. The owner mentioned that she has been in this business since graduating high school, and it’s hard to believe that she has been doing it for decades. When you visit, it's recommended to order the sweet potato noodles with a bit of spice. After enjoying the hearty ingredients, request a bowl of soup from the staff; the sauce in the bowl mixes with the hot broth, creating an incredible flavor. What sets them apart from others is their sauce and broth; the sauce is a yellow-brown color and tastes somewhat like miso, though it looks nothing like it. The chili sauce is made by the owner during the summer, as summer peppers are said to be better. The broth is prepared using small dried shrimp.
