賴桑透抽蚵仔麵線 (Lai Sang Tou Chou Ke Zai Mian Xian) sits on Dali Street in Wanhua, about a two-minute walk from Exit 2 of Longshan Temple MRT Station. The business began as a stall at Bade Night Market in Taoyuan and Anhe Night Market in Xindian before returning to the owner’s home area of Wanhua and opening a storefront. Its signature vermicelli puts seafood, braised toppings, and fried bites in the same bowl; despite the generous toppings, the flavors remain clearly layered. It suits anyone who enjoys Taiwanese snacks and wants several kinds of toppings at once.
● Herbal Buddha Jumps Over the Wall
The Herbal Buddha Jumps Over the Wall arrives in a generous portion. Many ingredients are stewed together, yet their individual flavors remain recognizable. The broth is clear, with a gentle herbal aroma and natural sweetness from the ingredients rather than a heavy, muddy character. The taro is soft, while fried pork ribs soak up the broth and become tender. From soup and meat to root vegetables, each brings a different texture, making this a satisfying warming soup to add alongside the vermicelli.
● Mixed Vermicelli (Large)
Mixed Vermicelli (Large) combines squid, pork thick-soup pieces, braised intestine, and oysters. The vermicelli strikes a good balance in thickness and seasoning, without excessive starch masking the toppings. The squid is tender and easy to bite, the intestine tastes clean, and the oysters are sweet without an unpleasant fishiness; the pork adds a heartier bite. Taste it as served first for the seafood and braised notes, then add a little black vinegar to sharpen the bowl.
● Moba Special
The Moba Special gathers oysters, intestine, squid, pork thick-soup pieces, chicken nuggets, fried fish crisps, and fried Spanish mackerel in one bowl. Seven toppings take the texture from soft and springy all the way to crisp. The fish crisps and mackerel keep their fried aroma, while the chicken is crisp outside and tender inside, then takes on the broth as it sits in the thick vermicelli. Chili can add fragrance and heat, but add it in stages so you can first distinguish each topping’s original flavor.
● Moba Chicken Nuggets
Moba Chicken Nuggets have a crisp, fragrant coating with a touch of natural sweetness, while the chicken inside stays tender rather than drying out from frying. Eat them hot for the clearest contrast between crust and meat; they still keep a pleasant texture after cooling. On their own they are a clean, crisp fried snack, while paired with vermicelli the coating softens slightly as it picks up broth, giving you another layer of texture.
For the basic flavor profile, start with Mixed Vermicelli (Large); if you want more variety in texture, choose the Moba Special. Herbal Buddha Jumps Over the Wall adds a light warming soup, while Moba Chicken Nuggets bring extra crunch. Taste everything as served first, then add black vinegar or chili to your liking so it is easier to appreciate the balance among vermicelli, seafood, and fried toppings.
