當我在閒逛覓食時，看到熟悉的「小蜜蜂」三個字，這不是我之前在找夜市便宜美食時，跳出來的搜尋結果之一嗎？這是附近學生族群推崇的月底救星，學生們省錢的好選擇，一中街性價比最高的銅板美食，很多學生都是靠吃這家店的餐點，來偷偷存零用錢的，只要一盒30元的炒麵就可以吃超飽的，沒有特地去找，居然碰到了，真是有意栽花花不發，無心插柳柳成陰啊！
只要30元台幣的肉燥飯或炒麵，老闆會幫您把餐點裝到滿出來，30元台幣是中的，35元台幣是大的，特大是45元台幣，再看看便當品項，東坡肉便當75元台幣，花雕雞肉便當75元台幣，菜飯便當65元台幣，真的是不貴。
於是我立刻買了一盒30元台幣的炒麵肉燥飯，不想吃太多，只想試試看口味，老闆很大方的把肉燥澆在炒麵上，把便當紙盒裝的滿滿滿的，當我在旅館享用它時，發現口味很普通，啊！我忘了加辣椒醬，沒有甜味十足的辣椒醬提味，總感覺少了點甚麼，但是份量十足，真的吃的超飽的，好險我只買中盒的，要不然吃不完就浪費了。
憑良心說，它賣的本來就不是絕世美味的食物，賣的是平易近人的價位跟吃得飽的份量，光憑這點，我就可以給它一個大大的讚，畢竟在夜市這樣的美食戰區，美食絕對不會少，但是最有煙火氣的一定是這類性價比高的食物，我是學生的話，也一定是平常省吃儉用，只有和朋友出去瘋時，才大肆揮霍。
While I was wandering around looking for food, I saw the familiar words “Little Bee”. Wait a sec; wasn’t this one of the top results when I searched for cheap night market eats before? It’s apparently a go-to spot for students nearby, known as a lifesaver at the end of the month. Super budget-friendly and considered the best bang-for-your-buck food in Yizhong Street. A lot of students rely on this place’s meals to secretly save up their allowance. Just 30 NT for a box of fried noodles that’ll totally fill you up. I wasn’t even looking for it and just ran into it—talk about one of those “you don’t find it when you search, but stumble upon it by accident” moments.
For just 30 NT, you can get minced pork rice or fried noodles, and the owner really packs the box to the brim. 30 NT is the medium size, 35 for large, and 45 for extra large. And the bento options? Dongpo Pork Bento is 75 NT, Huadiao Chicken Bento is also 75 NT, and the Veggie Rice Bento is just 65 NT. Honestly, that’s super cheap.
So I immediately grabbed a 30 NT combo of fried noodles with minced pork rice. I didn’t want to eat too much; I just wanted to try the taste. The owner generously poured the minced pork sauce all over the noodles and packed the paper box till it was literally overflowing. When I got back to the hotel to eat it, I found the flavor kinda average. Ahh! I forgot to add chili sauce. Without that sweet and spicy chili sauce to boost the flavor, it just felt like something was missing. But the portion was huge; I was completely stuffed. Good thing I only got the medium one, otherwise it would've gone to waste.
To be fair, they’re not selling some gourmet masterpiece here. What they offer is super reasonable prices and big portions. And for that alone, I give them a big thumbs up. After all, in a food warzone like the night market, there’s no shortage of delicious food, but the stuff with the most down-to-earth vibe is always these high-value meals. If I were a student, I’d totally be saving money on everyday meals and only splurging when going out with friends.
