When celebrated writer Giddens performed his alternative military service in the noodle-loving Ershui Township two years ago, he adopted the eating habit of the locals by eating noodles for breakfast and “Aqin Aromatic Stir-fried Noodle” on Yuanji Rd. has become his favorite noodle store.
Aqin’s stir-fried noodles are oily but not overly cloying, and it has a tender, chewy texture. According to the owner, after the noodles are boiled, they are mixed with oil, allowed to cool down and placed in the refrigerator.
