Growing up, e-mein noodles was a big deal. We usually ate them to celebrate birthdays. The brand I know is Eagle Noodle Factory. At one time, the noodles were sold all over the place. For a while now, it was difficult to locate the noodles in stores. There are other brands out there (not locally produced), but they’re just not the same. Yesterday during my wanderlost, I came upon the factory.
Sign
I was not looking for the factory nor was I prepared to stop. I had to stop and visit. I circled around the block to park.
The Temple of E-Mein Noodles
Just to the left of the woman in pink are the stacks of e-mein noodles (sorry, a little redundant; mein = noodles so e-mein noodles is e-noodles noodles).

More Selections
I had to restrain myself before I got carried away. I bought one cake of e-mein, one dozen buns, and one dozen dumplings. Don’t worry, we won’t eat them all at once (we’d be in a carbohydrate coma). 
The Cake
For dinner I used up the rest of the mushrooms (see cream of mushroom soup post), and added Napa cabbage to a shiitake dashi with the e-mein to make a noodle soup.

The Cat was happily surprised. Slurp.
Glad to find the source. Will let you know about the dumplings in a future post.
I’m sending this post over to Deb at Kahakai Kitchen for her Souper Sunday feature.
Enjoy.

Looks like the perfect comfort food soup–thanks for sending it to Souper Sundays. The round up is posted, stop by and say hi.
