OK, I cannot say that Taipei is the birth land of this soupy dish but one of the things that you can't miss would be this.
Ay-Chung has two branches; one in Ximending, the other in Shilin. Although we were in Ximending first, we gave this a pass as the queue was frighteningly long. It turned out to be blessing in disguise as we stumbled upon another branch while food hunting in Shilin night market. There wasn't any crowd and we managed to even secure seats. No table as you're expected to sit and hold your bowl of noodle.
You can add on condiments of garlic, chili. Original is just as good especially if you are sharing it with someone who can't take spicy *cough*
Unlike our version, theirs don't come with oysters. Thus, you don't get that slight seafood/fish flavor in the soup. However, this does have its own appeal with a pork taste. The noodles were cooked until soft but not too. Soup was great. To say that this is so awesome to queue up for 30minutes is a bit too much considering the amount of food you could try by then.
