A-Long Lu Wei Yi Mian Introduction
"Ah Lung Yi Mian" was founded by Lin Yu-Ti and his wife Lin Wu-Jin-Yu, who lived in Yan Shui over forty years ago. They apprenticed under a Fuzhou master, Cai Shi, who specialized in making Yi Mian. Their noodles gained popularity in the Yan Shui and Shan Hua area. Over twenty years ago, they moved to Tainan, where they also became beloved by the locals. The current operator is the second generation, Lin Han-Long, who grew up immersed in his father's work. He has taken over the family business and innovated a variety of vegetable-flavored Yi Mian, including red carrot noodles, green spinach noodles, and burdock noodles, which have all been well received. The specialty lies in their homemade Yi Mian, not sold outside, emphasizing quality and maintaining a certain freshness. The broth is made with lean meat, resulting in a light, easy-to-digest flavor, with a moderate amount of MSG, which is why more customers visit at night than during the day. The braised dishes are also homemade, offering a fragrant sweetness without greasiness.
