The Road to Du Hsiao Yueh
Du Hsiao Yueh, founded in 1895 by Hung Yu Tou, the Hung clan’s ancestor, refers to the enduring journey through the low seasons experienced by locals. Every year, from the Qingming Commemoration to the Mid-Autumn Festival, rough seas made fishing extremely dangerous, a perilous journey for any who dared to venture out. To raise the family, Hung came up with a new style of noodles and began to sell them in order to continue on “throughout” the “low seasons”. He peddled his noodles on the street, his shoulder pole balancing his wares as he distributed the weight on his yoke and moved around. Placing a lantern in front of the stall, Hung wrote three Chinese characters on it to announce his brand’s arrival – “Du Hsiao Yueh". Today, Du Hsiao Yueh Da-a Mi has been successfully passed down to the fourth generation. For over 100 years, with its distinct taste, the well-established brand has been enjoyed far and wide by many. The taste endures.
度小月起源
「度小月」源起「一八九五」年洪氏先祖。每年在海象不佳的季節時因無法出海補魚,漁民俗稱「小月」。
平時以補魚為生,為了養家活口,就賣起麵來,藉此「度」過「小月」。一開始是以著沿街叫賣,於攤前燈籠上,書寫著「度小月」三個字。
由於口味獨道,廣為大眾接受,「度小月擔仔麵」就此成為金字招牌。目前已傳至第四代繼續經營。
