Happy New Year everyone! Just came back from a friend’s wedding in Taipei and am already missing the Taiwanese style beef noodles. Beef Noodle is one of the most famous dish in Taiwan and its notability matches with Japanese Ramen. Its origin may be traced back to Gangshan Village in Kaohsiung County. Most beef noodle soup in Taiwan is of the Sichuan variety. Its meat is braised in soy sauce, and served in a spicy dark red soup.
There are tonnes of beef noodle restaurants in Taipei and one of the most famous establishment is called Yungkang Beef Noodles (永康牛肉麵), located at 17 Chinshan South Road, Section 2, Lane 31.
The beef was very tender and juicy while the noodles are very chewy. If you like spicy food, this can be a pretty good dish for hangovers haha…a bowl of sichuan style beef noodle is only NT$200. On a side note, I also found out they serve pretty good beef noodles at the Cathy Pacific business class lounge!
Aside from the sichuan style beef noodles, there are also tonnes of cold dishes (appetizers) you can choose from. We only managed to try two dishes. Each dish ranges from NT$40 – NT$120).
