context_page_description: 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.
context_section_description: Ta-a noodles or danzai noodles (Chinese: 擔仔麵; pinyin: dànzǎimiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: tàⁿ-á-mī; lit.: 'shoulder pole noodle') is a type of snack found in Tainan, Taiwan. Also known as "Slack Season Ta-a Noodles", they originated in Tainan, (in southern Taiwan), about 130 years ago. While the general recipe is well known, some of the spices and the proportions of the various ingredients (shrimp flavored soup, shrimp, coriander, and garlic) 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 (relatively) at around NT$50 ($1.60 USD) for a small bowl.
