Chuan Hsing Intestine Oyster Vermicelli Introduction
Taiwan's famous snack "Oyster Vermicelli" is almost ubiquitous, and there is an unassuming vermicelli shop on Mingzhi Road in Taishan District that often has long queues out the door. This shop, "Chuanxing," known for its large intestine oyster vermicelli, is not only a frequent feature in food magazines but also a popular spot for many drivers looking for a hearty meal. The reason for the popularity of Chuanxing's large intestine oyster vermicelli lies in its generous portions. First-time visitors might be unaccustomed to the owner's method of placing the oysters and intestines at the bottom of the bowl, but a quick stir with a spoon reveals the owner's generosity. Chuanxing's large intestine oyster vermicelli offers three main ingredients: flavorful braised large intestine, fresh oysters, and pork belly chunks. The texture is quite similar to the oyster vermicelli on Zhonghe Yian Road, yet each variation has its own unique twist. The shop provides chili, minced garlic, and black vinegar for customers to add according to their preferences, with the combination of chili being especially favored by enthusiasts.
