Taipien is a local Kumamoto delicacy rooted in cuisine from Fujian Province, China. It's a noodle dish featuring glass noodles in chicken broth, topped with ingredients like pork, shrimp, squid, Chinese cabbage, and fried eggs. While healthy, it's also satisfying and has become the citizens' soul food, served in Chinese restaurants throughout Kumamoto City and even in school lunches. You can enjoy it at famous establishments in the Kamitori and Shimitori areas.
