A-Lung Lu Wei Yi Mian Introduction
"ALong Yi Mian" was founded by Lin Yu-ti and his wife Lin Wu Jin-yu over forty years ago. They initially lived in Yan Shui and learned the craft of making Yi Mian from a Fuzhou master named Cai Shi. Their noodles quickly became popular in the Yan Shui and Shan Hua areas. Over twenty years ago, they moved to Tainan, where they have also gained a loyal following. Currently, the business is managed by the second generation, Lin Han-long, who grew up in his father's shop and has continued the family tradition while innovating various vegetable-flavored Yi Mian, including red carrot noodles, green spinach noodles, and burdock noodles. These unique flavors are well-received. The distinguishing feature is their homemade Yi Mian that is not sold elsewhere, emphasizing quality and maintaining a certain level of freshness. The broth is based on lean meat stock, offering a light and easy-to-drink flavor, with a moderate amount of MSG, which leads to more customers visiting at night than during the day. The braised dishes are also homemade, delivering a sweet and non-greasy taste.
