Locals recommend Wanhua dishes from seafood noodles to shaved ice

Taiwan is known around the world for its cuisine. Recently, a guidebook called “500 Dishes” was released, recommending all types of food around the country. But when it comes to Wanhua, locals say the restaurants listed are not actually the most popular. So, they published their own “Wanhua’s 100 Dishes,” recommending local favorites from seafood noodles to meatballs and rice cakes. Wanhua residents grew up eating these delicious foods.
With grilled shrimp, squid, milkfish, and lots of oysters, this bowl of seafood noodles is overflowing with ingredients. Although it’s only been open for five years, this shop in Wanhua has become incredibly popular, offering dishes with unique ingredients such as squid and preserved egg.

Noodle shop owner
For an up-and-coming restaurant like us, we are incredibly happy to be chosen by locals for “Wanhua’s 100 Dishes.”
After Taiwan’s “500 Dishes” guidebook was released, Wanhua residents commented the list of restaurants is not accurate. So, they decided to release their own guide to local food, “Wanhua’s 100 Dishes.”
Wanhua resident
I grew up eating Chang Hung Noodles. Since I’ve been eating noodles, I’ve eaten their noodles. This year I’m 66.

After seeing the “500 Dishes” restaurant list, the choices for Wanhua were pretty limited, and over half of them aren’t ones what Wanhua locals would have chosen. So, we wrote our own “100 Dishes” to promote Wanhua and the food locals usually eat.
In addition to Chang Hung Noodles, Su Family Meatballs and Rice Cakes, which has been running for three generations, also made it on the list. They fry meatballs at a low temperature of 80 degrees to keep the surface chewy and give generous amounts of meat and bamboo shoots. Their taro cakes are also packed with large pieces of taro. Many customers grew up eating their dishes.
Customer
I’ve eaten here since his father’s generation. They’re the third generation. This place is one of Wanhua’s top restaurants.
Su Chao-shu
Restaurant owner
The restaurant opened in 1946 and now the third generation has taken over. We can only make a certain amount of these handmade dishes. We get up around 5 a.m. and are busy by 5:30.
Other locals revealed Wanhua’s hidden specialties.
This plum shaved ice is topped with a traditional syrup made with Chinese herbs and smoked plum, simmered for 15 hours. They also make fresh jelly every day, served over shaved ice or in a cane sugar syrup that isn’t too sweet.
Dessert shop owner
I use traditional recipes because I think things from the past have more of a homemade touch. Customers’ feedback made me happy; they say traditional foods like this are becoming more and more rare.
This family-run pork noodle shop on Guiyang Street has also been open for more than a generation. The pork, cooked to order, is sweet and juicy. Customers usually pair it with spicy pickled vegetables and fried rice cakes. Although taste is subjective, Wanhua residents show their affection for their area through what they eat.

2024-09-10
台灣號稱美食王國，最近全台小吃指南"500碗"公布，網羅名家推薦的各種餐點，但卻有萬華人說，當中入選的萬華美食，不是在地人真愛，自己整理了一份"萬華100碗"，名單中的豪華海鮮麵線、傳承三代的肉圓油粿，大受歡迎，還有大哥說，自己從小吃到大。
炙燒大白蝦、中卷、虱目魚皮，還有滿滿蚵仔，用料不手軟的痛風海鮮麵線，在萬華才開五年就爆紅，還有少見的魷魚、皮蛋等配料。

“像我們這樣的後起之秀，我們可以就是說，有機會能夠入選，萬華人心目中的100碗，我們也是非常的高興”
近日500碗美食指南公布，就有萬華人跳出來說，名單不凖，還自己整理了，一份萬華100碗。
[[萬華人]]
“昶鴻麵點是我從小吃到大，從我會吃麵我就吃他家的麵，我今年六十六”
[[聲源:沐育文化營運長 施景耀]]
“其實看到名單的時候想說，萬華入選其實滿少的，而且一半以上名單，都不是在地人心目中，覺得最棒的名單，我們就做了一個推廣在地萬華的人，就寫出我們自己平常吃的100碗”
除了悠鱻麵線，傳承三代的萬華蘇家肉圓油粿也被推薦，用80度低溫油炸肉圓，保持外皮Q彈，筍絲肉塊給的大方，芋粿還吃得到大塊芋頭，老客人是從小吃到大。
[[常客]]
“我應該從他爸爸那個年代，吃到現在了，他們第三代。堪稱是萬華地區的美食之一”
[[萬華蘇家肉圓油粿老闆 蘇朝樹]]
“民國三十五年的時候開始做，現在第三代接棒。這手工捏的，差不多一定數量都做不出來，我們都五點多就起來，五點半就起來忙”
還有在地人不藏私，直接帶路，隱藏版美食。
清涼梅仔冰，糖漿是用中藥加烏梅、遵循古法，熬了15小時漿，每天現做的粉粿，水潤又富有彈性，配上炒過、再放一周的二砂糖，才不死甜。
[[春桃冰店老闆]]
“我現在用阿嬤的味道，因為我覺得以前的東西，吃起來它會比較有手感。客人的回饋，其實你是會還滿開心的，客人說，他們吃到這種傳統的東西會越來越少”
貴陽街這家祖傳肉羹麵，也是低調開了超過一甲子，赤肉現點現煮，吃得到豬後腿肉的鮮甜多汁，辣菜脯配上油粿，才是老饕吃法。雖說口味本就主觀，但萬華人也用吃，展現對當地的真感情。
