ATTENTION! If maxed cooking with Master of the Way READ!
Upon looking for hours for this quest, and asking many different people, I was so confused as to why it wasn't showing, but!
For Maxed Cooking and Master of the Way's it has been shown to actually skip the first part of the quest, and place "
The Lost Secret of the Secret Ingredient" the second quest in the chain automatically into your Quest Log.So if you cannot find the spawn or interact with it, check your quest log for "
The Lost Secret of the Secret Ingredient" before giving up.This has happened to myself and another Master of the Way after not finding a fix.
Is this old sign fragment only rarely lootable?. checked it quite some times but never was able to pick it up.
i'm fairly sure my character would qualify , 600 cooking and nearly all recipes and got each way of cooking

Description
Searching amidst the rubble, you find the fragment of an old sign. Wiping away the dust, you can make out the well-weathered pandaren characters for "Noodles" and "Lin." Looking above, you suspect that the establishment this sign belonged to was situated on the bridge, which now lies in rubble about you. An eatery placed on a bridge sounds very temporary, so its owner would likely live nearby. Perhaps there is a clue to be found in the village here on the island?
