A seasoned foodie who often strolls through the Yinguo Ceramic Old Street finds that, besides the culinary delights within the old street itself, the broken-shelf noodles on National Road beside the street always attract them. The shop’s sign reads only “破鑼,” and its history stretches back long enough—since Taiwan’s liberation in 1945 to the present, more than 30 years—so its ancient flavor draws crowds whenever the holiday season arrives. The shop sells authentic Taiwanese traditional snacks: beef noodles, dried noodles, and especially Ms. Wu’s signature dish, the famed braised pork, whose tender, juicy meat never tastes dry. Every table is almost always served a portion, making it clear how powerful the food is. The pork rib soup is also made from a large-bone stock. For a different taste, you can order braised pork rice with rib soup—a very popular option. The side dishes include braised cabbage, fried tofu, and pork head meat, the three classic accompaniments. Next time you come to Yinguo, be sure to try them!
