Du Hsiao Yueh
An entrepreneurial fisherman named Hong founded Du Hsiao Yueh in 1895. During typhoon season, the waters near Tainan were too rough for fishing so Hong started selling noodles.
As he waited for time to pass “du” during these "little months" (hsiao yueh), he carried his noodles peddler-style using a pole across his shoulders. His "Du Hsiao Yuen Dan Zi Noodles" were tasty and became very popular. Today the brand is run by the fourth generation of Hongs.
