Meijiamei Breakfast

What comes into your mind when you think of breakfast? Burgers, egg pancakes, or sandwiches? For many patrons of Meijiamei Breakfast located within the Meilun Market of Hualien, the answer will be pot burn noodles.

Apparently, the pot burn noodles are a common breakfast choice in Hualien. Served with the silky ramen instead of deep-fried noodles, this bowl of goodness is loaded with a plethora of fresh ingredients, from clams, fish paste, cabbage to pickled shredded pork and an over-easy egg. Light and smooth, the broth is perfect for all seafood lovers — no wonder it is the mainstay of many patrons’ tables. Besides the pot burn noodles, the chewy scallion pancake (deep-fried dough made from scallion and flour) is another favorite of many.

In the proximity of Meilun Market, there is a dozen of breakfast places, but Meijiamei Breakfast always catches the attention of passersby as it is usually the one teeming with hungry folks with pot burning noodles on each table — overlooking such a scene is almost impossible.
