Saturday night dinner! 100NT for a (small) bowl of beef noodle soup.
This is one of those signature Taiwan dishes. I just got this from a restaurant not far from me, but Taipei actually has a whole street somewhere that's just for beef noodle soup shops. I definitely need to go at some point.
The first time I got beef noodle soup in Taiwan I made the mistake of ordering 牛肉汤面 not realizing that what I actually wanted was 牛肉面. When you order 牛肉汤面 it's just soup and noodles, with no beef. 牛肉面 is still soup noodles, but with beef, but when I saw it on the menu I thought it meant dry noodles. Lost in translation, I suppose (and this is why I love menus with pictures!). But I have since learned.
I thought the spice level and flavour in this bowl was particularly good. The last time I had this dish at a shop in Xinyi district, the soup was bland and I didn't want to finish it after eating the noodles. I finished all the soup this time. Yum yum.
Apologies for the photo quality, I just snapped this on my phone.
