My Trip

A food route digging only into beef noodles (niurou mian), Taipei's signature noodle dish. Compare the qingdun (clear broth) and hongshao (braised soy) lineages in one meal, then cleanse the palate with mango shaved ice. Premised on ordering one bowl each to share, so adjust portions.

Itinerary

1
Liu Shandong Beef Noodles劉山東牛肉麵
Noodles · 40 min stay
A 60-year veteran in an alley behind Taipei Station. The textbook contrast of clear qingdun broth and 'half-tendon, half-meat' texture. The line of local office workers at lunch proves it.

2
Yongkang Beef Noodles永康牛肉麵
Noodles · 40 min stay
The byword for Yongkang Street beef noodles. The benchmark of the richly braised hongshao spicy-broth lineage. A veteran both tourists and locals acknowledge — perfect to compare against qingdun.
Walk 15 min
3
Lao Wang Ji Beef Noodles (Taoyuan Street)老王記牛肉麵 (桃源街)
Noodles · 30 min stay
The surviving stalwart of Taoyuan Street, once 'beef noodle street.' A no-frills Sichuan-style hongshao. Portions are large, so order small for a final comparison.
Transit 14 min

Smoothie House思慕昔 Smoothie House
Dessert · 30 min stay
The finish to an oily beef-noodle marathon. An originator-class Yongkang mango shaved ice. Fresh mango and condensed-milk ice that cuts through the grease in one go.
