Taiwan has Sha Xian snacks and Lanzhou Ramen?

Sha Xian snacks are only a nationally known snack that has risen to prominence over the past few years, so it's not as well known in Taiwan

But some women who married in Taiwan from Sha Xian, Fujian Province, have set up small businesses in the area, selling Sha Xian snacks, so if there's any, of course there is, it's just hidden away in a small area

Lanzhou Ramen is a very ancient food, and it's been in Taiwan for a long time, since the time when Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan after his troops were defeated, the national government troops then retired after they got old. After Chiang Kai-shek's defeat, he retreated to Taiwan, and then the Nationalist army, when they got old and retired, they started selling the flavors of their hometown, so Lanzhou ramen has been around for a long time, but it's not as well known, so it's not very common, but it's still easy to find in some Sichuan restaurants or beef noodle shops
