A bowl of rice noodles isn't enough,
How can we stop here?
A senior introduced this place,
They say it's always packed.

The old shop was at Stone Mortar,
Later moved when the temple was torn down,
Now it's on Zhongyi Road,
At the intersection with Park South Road.

Each bowl has fish meat,
Tastes good as salty congee,
If you don't mind the seafood smell,
You can order an extra fish head.

Not bad, I recommend it today,
Forty bucks a bowl, acceptable,
Writing this makes me a bit tired,
Time to stop and take a nap.
