They also make their noodle, meatballs, and dumpling by themselves so it has a distinct taste. While it may look like any chicken noodle you can find on the street vendor, it tastes undoubtedly more satisfying. They cook the chicken before serving it as a noodle topping, so the chicken itself is already tasteful. What’s great about their chicken topping is that it’s full chicken meat. Some vendor mix the meat with skin and even chicken cartilage to make it looks massive but it gives unpleasant taste.
