Chen Family Cold Noodles

Ok, here's another great food item from Taiwan. It's a cold noodle dish that is simple and cheap. That's my favorite kind of food. I mean, the fancy stuff is great but when you enjoy the taste of something that is simply and humbly made, it just tastes that much better. I'm not exactly sure what's in it but the power comes from it's perfectly made sauce. There is certainly lots of garlic, some chili and maybe a peanut or sesame sauce with shavings of cucumber lightly sprinkled on top. They are open 24 hours, so when in Taipei, do remember to visit the Chen family. This picture really doesn't do it justice.

Obviously you’ve been amazed by the local food in Taiwan. … Now I miss papa’s cold noodles. Eat only when you’re hungry; then you’ll feel everything delicious. Korean's Naeng-myun is very tasty too!

Oh man! Cold noodles like that with sesame reminds me of eating in the yard on hot summer nights in China.
