Yuanji Eel Noodles「源记鳝鱼面」

Review

This is my first time in Jieyang. I heard that eel noodles are a very representative local specialty, so I asked the hotel front desk for recommendations. The front desk guy recommended this Yuanji place.

I went there around midnight, and the shop was still open with a decent crowd. I ordered a portion of eel with tendon fried dry noodles. When it was served, the aroma was particularly strong, and it looked very appetizing.

The eel was very fresh, with no fishy smell at all, and the meat was tender and smooth. The tendon was chewy and springy, with a nice texture. The combination of the two ingredients created a great layering effect. The noodles were fried to perfection, each strand coated in the savory sauce, becoming more fragrant as I ate, without feeling greasy.

After eating, I felt that the boss pays great attention to the details of this dish. From the ingredients to the cooking technique, you can tell there’s experience behind it. If you come to Jieyang and want to try a local specialty, I think this shop’s eel noodles are worth a try.
