Milk Soup Noodles

Last updated 2026-11-11 — Milk Soup Noodles is a traditional local dish in our county. It is made by simmering fresh pork bones, pig trotters, fragrant pork knuckles, and chicken to create a richly aromatic milk soup. The soup is poured into a bowl, seasoned, and served with cooked leaf noodles. During the Republican era, a local man nicknamed "Ma Zi" (real name Ai Chunting, who earned the nickname due to his plump build, easygoing and humorous personality, and love for playful banter with others, hence the moniker…) helped develop and popularize the dish. It has now been famous for over 60 years. Today, hundreds of vendors across the county serve this dish, and the variety has continued to expand—for example, adding shredded chicken topping creates “Shredded Chicken Milk Soup Noodles,” while adding a three-delicacy topping results in “Three-Delicacy Milk Soup Noodles,” among others. Peng Yueming has excelled in this traditional craft through meticulous preparation and honest business practices, standing out as the best. A man who had been away from his hometown for over forty years after moving to Taiwan specifically came to Peng Yueming’s shop to eat Milk Soup Noodles. After tasting them, he praised them endlessly, saying, “This is the real home-style Milk Soup Noodles.” He even took a photo with the staff in high spirits. (Qionglai)
