The Backstory

Born in the 1950s when street vendors sold noodles from wooden carts to refugees. It remains the ultimate 'choose-your-own-adventure' budget meal.

Local Secret

"Don't be afraid of the 'weird' toppings; braised chicken wings and honey-glazed pig skin are local favorites that add great texture."
