A-Man Vermicelli

Review

A-Man Vermicelli's original shop is on Minquan Street in Wufeng Market, directly opposite the Wufeng Papaya Milk King, with a branch on Shuren Road. It is an everyday breakfast choice for locals, featured in Supertaste's 2026 Wufeng round-up and on Travel Yam, and a Vocus post on Wufeng vermicelli names it among the town's best-known shops.

The menu centres on thin vermicelli soup with large intestine, pork thick-soup chunks, oysters, or a mix of everything, alongside thick-soup noodles, rice noodles, glass noodles, braised pork rice and blanched greens. Supertaste notes that the shop uses century-old handmade vermicelli from the Lin family of Lukang, cooked soft yet slightly springy. The oysters are dusted in starch before cooking but still taste fresh; most people who want a bit of everything order the mixed bowl.

Opinions are clearly split. Fans praise the fragrant braised intestine and generous oysters and call it the breakfast they grew up on, but both media round-ups note a faint gamey smell in the intestine, and some diners find the pork chunks a little fishy and the braised pork rice salty. Many suggest adding the chili sauce on the table to lift the flavour. Sources do not list prices.

It opens daily at 6:30am and closes around 1pm. The original shop has few seats, and both dine-in and takeaway get busy, so expect a short wait. Parking in central Wufeng is generally difficult; there are paid and free car parks near the Wufeng District Office and the Lin Family Garden, from which you can walk.

It suits anyone who wants to experience a Wufeng market morning. Order a mixed vermicelli with a dab of chili sauce and a side of greens; if you are sensitive to offal flavours, choose the oyster or pork version instead.
