Tainan has lots to offer in terms of food, especially all kinds of 'small eats' - they are delicate, small in size (so you can eat more than three times in one day!), and everywhere! We have introduced fruits, desserts and fish soups before this post, but be warned that the real deal is coming!! Noodles! This is the indispensable part of Tainan cuisine.

說到台南美食，那還真是在台灣享有盛名，尤其是台南小吃：精緻、美味、小小的所以可以吃很多，而且更重要的是... (在市區)到處都是！先前我們已經介紹了水果與甜點，今天進入小吃的主戲：麵食！

Since we have been to Tainan for many times, we have already known that you don't always have to go to the best stores recommended in the traveler's guide, basically most stores in Tainan have good enough quality! This tip would save you some trouble of waiting in the long queue for the hottest stores. So, today I am sharing two classical noodle dishes - Danzai Noodles and Yee Mien (Egg Noodles) of Tainan. We just bumped into these two stores and did due diligence (yeah, enough people eating inside already... XD) and the result is great! Both are great!

我們已經來過台南多次，並不陌生，已經知道不一定要去擠名店熱門店，基本上台南的小吃到處都有一定品質的，只要你能夠做一點基本判斷，其實說穿了就是看這間店是否有一定的古老程度，以及當時是否有夠多的人正在裡面吃就可以。我們就是這樣隨興挑了兩間店，吃了台南最知名的... 擔仔麵 以及 台南意麵！果然是美味啊！

Danzai Noodles / 擔仔麵

One of Tainan's signature dish is "Danzai noodles". It features oil noodles with minced pork and fresh shrimp in a shallow broth. It is traditional that the chef in charge would be sitting on low stools preparing noodles in front of a boiling pot. You get to see every move s/he makes cooking your noodles!

台南擔仔麵的知名度已經到達國宴等級了，基本上就是油麵加肉燥與高湯，放在小碗裡，上頭擺一個蝦仁。比較有特色的是煮麵人是坐在矮凳上煮，鍋子爐子什麼的，都在你眼前可以看的一清二楚。通常，還會掛個燈籠。我們點了擔仔意麵、乾的擔仔米粉、燙韭菜（真是應景... orz）與貢丸湯...

Yee Mien / 台南意麵

Yee Mien is just one kind of noodles that is famous in Tainan. Basically I don't quite understand the difference between it and other noodles except that it has egg as an ingredient. But different noodles do taste differently though. You will have to eat it to distinguish it! Yee Mien is common in daily lives in Tainan. Basically you order a bowl of noodles , some other side dishes like bean-curd and maybe a bowl of wanton soup as well. That would be a good afternoon snack or even a light meal for the locals.

台南意麵，應該是台南更為日常的料理了。意麵本身好吃之外，小菜等更是意麵的必備好友。我們點了意麵，一盤小菜包括豆干、米血與海帶，以及一碗餛飩湯、一碗骨肉湯。這樣就是很舒服的一餐了，份量不大，當點心也可以，當成輕食的一餐也可以喔！看看店門口的阿嬤，我想這間店應該是她傳下來的吧，現在她只要坐著監督，順便當當活招牌就可以了~~~ 對我們還蠻有效的~~~ :)
