The biggest feature of this dish is the stove fire, which is a tradition that has been maintained since the store opened. The stove uses charcoal to start a fire, and a large white iron pot is placed on top to boil water. The key to maintaining the fire lies in the skill of the shop owner. Because the store is located deep in the market, some people jokingly refer to it as "dirty noodles." The noodles are made from plain white flour, and the broth is a meat-based soup with many vegetables added, which could also be described as a bowl of miscellaneous vegetable and meat noodles. The slightly charred flavor of the meat, mixed with the noodles and green vegetables, is a flavor that has remained unchanged in the memories of Tainan people for decades.
