NINI AND BLUE fun food review | Yahoo Travel Expert June 20, 2024, 1:04 am Taichung | Laotang Sour and Spicy Noodles Laotang Sour and Spicy Noodles have been packed every day since opening. This time, after a 2-year wait, the crowd was a bit less, so I took the opportunity to dine at Laotang Sour and Spicy Noodles in the afternoon when there were fewer people. They specialize in sour and spicy noodles where each bowl can be customized from the sour and spicy levels to the toppings. The shop also offers spicy hot pot skewers, mouthwatering chicken, red oil wontons, and other small dishes to choose from. Those who want to enjoy a bowl of Laotang Sour and Spicy Noodles should remember to avoid peak hours to avoid long waits. The shop has limited dining space, with two big round tables outdoors and a few counter seats indoors. Patience is needed if dining in, or takeout is also a good option.
