鍋燒意麵 (Traditional Ee Mee)
The version from "民族鍋燒老店".
When I first saw the term "意麵", I thought it referred to Italian pasta. How wrong I am!
In Southern Taiwan, "意麵" actually refers to Ee Mee, a type of pre-fried noodles, probably the only form of noodles I dislike.
My mate insisted on dropping in this shop (it was closed when we visited it a night ago) as he was hungry again. I told him he would have to finish it.....and true to his claim, he did!
The taste and cooking style of the noodles were very Japanese influenced. (I generally think the south had retained a lot more of the Japanese influences from the 50 years of Japanese colonisation). The light and ethereal taste of the umami broth plus that the noodle is served with a poached egg, slices of Kamaboko and tempura-fried prawns, I can almost imagine this to be a bowl of Japanese Ramen.
