Matsu Island Black Sesame Noodles (馬祖黑麻面/马祖黑麻面)

Dinner @ "微風台北車站美食街" (Taipei Train Station Subway Station Food Street) and a try of the flavours from Matsu Islands with "四鄉五島".

 

Sesame paste is widely used in China to flavour cold noodles in the summer months. In the Matsu islands, folks seemingly have taken a stronger liking to the black sesame paste instead.

 

The flavour was very aromatic and intensely rich and like squid ink pasta, this will stain your lips and teeth blackish as well, which may not be the best choice of food for a date!

 

I find the sauce too rich to finish a bowl on its own.
