“The strong urge to give her the biggest hug I possibly could swamped me. But then our entrées came, and sorry, Alice, but they smelled so good I only wanted to hug them. Which I did not do, because then they'd be all over my shirt and not in my mouth. Which was the only place I wanted the beef roll, tender shreds of beef braised in garlic and ginger and soy sauce all chopped up and snuggled tightly inside a flaky, oniony, tender scallion pancake. The effect was something like beef Wellington, but better. Alice and I gobbled it down, using our fingertips to scrape up the last few flakes of pancake in the hot, peppery sauce.
Then we turned to the other dish. "Is this... a doughnut sandwich?" Alice asked, cocking her head and blinking.
"Yes," I said with relish.
Alice's entire face lit up. "Excellent."
And it was. From the outside, it looked like any normal glazed doughnut, shiny with hardened sugar and puffy from the heat. But the chef had sliced it down the middle and filled it with the most delightful combination of ingredients: a salty, savory aged prosciutto-like ham that melted in my mouth; little bits of tart, sweet pickled pineapple, leaves of grassy cilantro. Together, when they came into contact with the sweet, fluffy doughnut, everything crashed into a bite that was sugary and crunchy and tart and spicy and bright, so bright.”

“I can smell the shrimp broth and garlic!
Mmm! It's so good! It's light yet has a deep, full-bodied flavor!"
"Whoa! I've been eating all day, but this goes right down!"
" Mm! This is the perfect finisher for the day!"
"And the topping is the bun's pork filling!"
"Yep! Listening to customer requests last night gave me the inspiration to try this out."
"Thanks to these noodles, we sold a whole lot more today than yesterday."
"Using bun dough to make noodles... how interesting!
And to come up with it on the spot too..."
"Nah, I didn't really.
See, Taiwan already has a noodle dish a lot like it."
"...?
Dan Zai Noodles!"
DAN ZAI NOODLES
Originating in Southern Taiwan, it is also known as Tan-tsu noodles or slack season noodles.
The broth is generally light and clear, made from seafood stocks like bonito or shrimp.
Then oil noodles are added and topped with items like ground pork, green onions, bean sprouts and shrimp.
Served in small snack-sized portions, it was created with the idea of being a tasty snack that could be eaten over and over.”
