Wenzhou Snacks：Pig Intestine Noodle Soup (Zhu Zang Fen) - The Hands Behind Wenzhou's Culinary Heritage

Ou Cuisine is built on seafood, light oil, delicate thickening, and meticulous knife work. These ten signature dishes showcase its culinary mastery — pounded fish consommé, scallion-oil croaker, mud crab with egg white — and ten more snacks embody its vibrant street culture, from fish balls that are decidedly not round to the bowl of glutinous rice the city wakes up to.

Pig Intestine Noodle Soup (Zhu Zang Fen). A street classic with heritage status. The character "zang" (offal) carries no stigma here — it signals extreme savoriness. Thick rice noodles sit in a rich pork-bone broth, topped with slowly braised, melt-in-the-mouth intestines, tender pork blood curds, scallion, and ginger. A bowl warms the morning stomach and comforts the late-night soul. Veteran shops like Shouying Pig Intestine Noodles have earned Michelin Guide recognition. Served at: breakfast, main meal, late night.
