Tà-á-mī

Ta-a mi, also known as Ta-a noodles or danzai noodles, is a type of snack found in Tainan, Taiwan. Also known as "Slack Season Ta-a Noodles", they originated in Tainan, about 130 years ago. While the general recipe is well known, some of the spices and the proportions of the various ingredients are well guarded secrets by the different restaurants/stands that serve it. While seemingly a simple snack, foodies from all over the world have given it substantial recognition . The normal serving size is usually small, being considered more of a snack than an entree. It is also on the pricier side at around NT$50 for a small bowl.
