Du Xiao Yue (度小月)


Du Xiao Yue is the famous Tan Tzai Noodles food stand in Taipei. The story began in1895 with a fisherman with the sumame Hong whose family migrated to Fucheng from China’s Zhangzhou. He made a living catching fish.
The sea is usually very rough between the Tomb-sweeping Festival and Mid-Autumn
Festival each year so this became known as the “Slack Season” because the fishermen couldn’t go to sea. To make a living during the slack season,Hong began selling noodles. His noodles had a unique taste and were quite popular so he eventually began selling them full-time. In the beginning, he carried his noodles on shoulder poles and sold them in the streets, so he named it ”Slack Season Tan Tsai Noodles”.
