Yuan Night Market Duck Noodle - Central Branch Introduction
The love for duck meat noodles among Hsinchu locals is truly strong! In the latest edition of the Taiwanese Bib Gourmand listings "500 Bowls of Street Snacks in Taiwan," Hsinchu City has two entries for duck meat noodles. One of them, #Yuan Night Market Duck Meat Noodles (Central Branch), has always been on our foodie's pocket list. There’s no need to think about whether to have the soup version or the stir-fry—both the soup noodles and the stir-fried duck meat noodles are incredibly flavorful. The thick yellow noodles soak up the juices, remaining chewy without being mushy, while the duck meat within is tender and juicy without being dry. The sliced duck meat carries a smoky flavor, with the duck skin being especially pronounced, and the savory taste definitely stimulates the appetite. The cucumber adds a perfect touch as a side garnish. It’s highly recommended for gourmets visiting Hsinchu to order the #Stir-Fried Duck Blood, flavored just right with black vinegar; its smooth texture and aromatic flavor are truly irresistible!
