台南度小月



今年中秋帶女兒回台南過節，打算逛逛我們中西區民生綠園附近的主要街道 - 中正路。除了可以看到古蹟級日治建築（土地銀行、台灣文學館、林百貨）還有我打從有記憶以來就常吃的度小月老店。那個時候，它就在我家轉角兩個街口的巷子裡，後來搬到中正路近民生綠園消防隊邊，最後又加了日本旅客最愛的度小月旗艦店（前台南書局那裡），都是同條路上，没差幾步路。

中正路上永福路附近的度小月旗艦店

小時候的它小小的，暗暗的，就是鄰近小店，不像現在的度小月有給遊客坐的大圓桌，還有一系列的人氣台南小吃。還記得我們家都是坐在矮矮的凳子上圍繞著一張只能坐個兩三人的矮桌，口中嚼著擔仔麵，或米粉，滷蛋，貢丸，偶爾還加個烏魚子，真有點「度小月」的感覺。其實那個時候的它，已經算是有點歷史了，只是年幼的我們習以為常罷了。原始於1895年的度小月，是洪氏漁人在捕魚淡季（小月）為了貼補家用而扛著擔子出來賣的自家肉燥湯麵，也就是「度小月擔仔麵」店名的由來。

祖傳肉燥鍋 + 滷蛋貢丸鍋 + 湯汁鍋 + 完美的擔仔麵

說說他們家的擔仔麵吧～這碗獨一無二的麵，說是出名在他們祖傳的肉燥，而肉燥就是熬於他們百年未洗的鐵鍋啊！這祖傳鍋經歷了這麼多年早熬出了厚厚的肉燥精華，百年醬油膏，想了就要流口水。小時候也從未想過沒洗過的鍋有什麼了不起，但現在當媽了，這要鍋不沾水真需要有一定的堅持和毅力呢！不過，話說這肉醬是度小月的主要成分，若沒有它甜美的湯頭，蒜末，豆芽，香菜，口感恰恰的麵條，跟麵上的那尾蝦，也無法達到如此完美的境界。

度小月的擔仔麵小小一坨，三兩口就見底了，一般人都要叫個兩碗才夠。小時候的度小月可以選擇大碗或小碗，我們都只點大的。雖然身為臺南人，很想把這個完美口味永永遠遠保留給自己的回憶，還是很高興度小月的名聲和「氣味（台）」能讓它以創新的經營和店面擴張到外縣市，讓中北部和外島的朋友們也能體驗到我童年的味道，更祝它有一日能成功發展到國外，讓更多人都能嚐到我們臺南人驕傲的本土風味。

Tainan's Pot Burn Noodles

Image
What is "pot burn noodles"? It's a noodle soup cooked in a pot with deep-fried noodles and all kinds other goodies.  Everyone makes it with different goodies, different flavored broths.  But having had these noodles outside of Tainan, I knew I had to come back for the real thing!  My friend Emily thinks I prefer everything Tainan because of my nostalgia for my home, but, come on, food in Tainan is objectively better.  Many Taiwanese people from other cities would take a day trip to Tainan just to eat!  Anyway, the two places I recommend highly are some of my childhood favorites (so long ago): Xiǎo Dòudòu's big bowl of noodles is packed with goodies 小豆豆 (Xiǎo Dòudòu) is directly across the street from 南門公園 (Nánmén Gōngyuán). The interior looks exactly the way it did 30 years ago.  The owner and his wife look more or less the same, too.  And that bowl of noodles did not change at all in taste.  When my kids ordered their noodles, the sigh they gave....

Shandong Scallion Pancake

Image
What is a scallion pancake?  They come in different thicknesses, sizes, tastes, densities...  In short, scallion pancakes are dough kneaded with chopped scallions, and sometimes salt and oil, and then shallow-fried in oil.  In my mind, a perfect scallion pancake is one that is fluffy, flavorful, and slightly crispy on the outside.   Since coming back to Taiwan, I did not want to try them, since I was worried that I may end up with one that is dry, hard, dense, flavorless...  A few weeks ago, though, as I was leaving home to go to the Zhishan MRT station, I came across a scallion pancakery with a line out the door.  Well, if this is not a sign! I later heard from a friend that this place is called "Shandong Scallion Pancake," nick-named "If the light is on there is cake."  I was so distracted by the crowd outside I didn't even notice the light! How is the scallion pancake? Golden crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just the way I like i...
