This Taiwanese Beef Noodles shop was said to be 1st discovered by Hong Kong tourist books in the beginning, even before hitting the radar of the local Taipei foodies food trail. I remember my 1st visit to here wasn’t looking that much like this shop’s current modernised layout. I believe they might have actually renovated since then and my actual memory is becoming patchy of here unless it was really tasting that great in the beginning, which I remembered it to be good enough however. Let’s just start all over again here this time around to be fair, which is inline of my whole intention of my recent trip to Taipei to rediscover the places. There’s always room for a new beginning and reinterpretation !
Totally Unfamiliar to me -
I distinctly remembered the old shop layout to be much more rustic, and not fluorescent yellow.
Menu -
Still reasonable in the price range.
Crowded with Tourists -
I actually did wonder if any Taiwanese locals do rate here.
Vinegars, Chili Paste and Pickles -
Red Braised Beef and Beef Tendons Noodles - 紅燒半筋半肉麵
When this arrived, it looked just so proper. The presentation is almost picturesque thoughtful! The beef tendons were really well cooked and just right, transparent through and through but not too bitey or soft, respect. The beef short ribs were also in the perfect state. In hindsight I do miss this place, but unfortunately the noodles were cooked really soft tonight. The slightly fiery soup base was also tasting like a fast food chain. I do miss the beefy bits yeh. 6.9/10
Clear Broth Beef Noodles - 清燉牛肉麵
Not the more famous version, but since they provided it, we ordered it just to compare with the red braised version. The noodles were still really soft… Soup base was just really diluted. May be I could come to appreciate this 1 day but relative to it’s peers, this was really watery though. ~ 5/10
