Batang noodles
The light fragrance swept in the wind
softly spread in the sun
jump in the dust
It's the crispy and fat meat
Soft juicy mellow soup
A hint of sweetness in the salty aroma
Very elastic noodles
shuttle in the aroma
After sucking up that broth
The deliciousness of the special noodles
take a bite
slide between lips
Blooming with the taste of the city
