Beef Noodle Soup Taipei Liu San Dong
[Taipei] Hailed as one of the best beef noodles in Taipei, Liu Shandong 劉山東牛肉麵 is a well-loved eating house in the Zhongzheng district.
It has been around since 1951.
Liu Shandong Beef Noodles was also awarded the Bib Gourmand in the inaugural Taipei Michelin Guide.
Founded by 劉佩芹 who came to Taiwan in 1949 post-war and started a street side stall selling beefiness noodles made Shandong-style, his hometown.
With many people from Shandong missing that hometown flavour, it became an instant striking and concern flourished.
Information technology is now run by second generation possessor 劉少麟 who returned to his dad's beefiness noodle stall 30 years ago after his initial business concern failed.
Known for its specialty Beef Noodles made with beefiness braised the Shandong style and chewy handmade heavy gauge noodles that need 15 minutes cooking fourth dimension.
Liu Shandong is the simply place in Taiwan to become this type of extra thick noodles.
Popular for its huge portions at an affordable toll, Liu Shandong's rich and robust bulky stock is made with beef bones as well as fat and tendon trimmed from strips and chunks of beefiness.
What'southward unique at Liu Shandong is its use of beef breast and not beef shin which is more commonly used in other beef noodle shops.
The beef chest has that intense meaty flavour nonetheless none of the tendon.
The beef is cooked two ways: Taiwanese beef in a clear goop, and Australian beef braised in a spiced soy sauce.
Located shut to Taipei Main Station, this unassuming hole-in-the-wall type of eatery is tucked in a small side alley, occupying a modest space yous might actually miss it on your showtime visit.
The walls are filled with paper and magazine manufactures.
It is patronized mostly by locals, many of whom are seniors who pine for their hometown flavours.
Offering scant seating with only half-dozen tables, this 25-seater shop isn't the place to have a comfortable, leisurely, and relaxed sit-down meal.
Here people come, eat, and become.
You'll probably line upwards if you arrive on a rush hour. Menu in Mandarin is hanging on the wall. Staff don't speak English merely at that place'due south an English carte with pictures, with Japanese and Korean texts to help international visitors.
Diners are served on a outset come up-get-go served basis, and they are likely to sit you wherever at that place is room. It is normal to share a table with a complete stranger.
In one case you lot are seated, cease your meal in xv-20 minutes to suit those who are waiting.
If you are able to sit down almost the kitchen, you could witness the frenzied pace in prepping the orders.
For the past seventy years, Liu Shandong Beef Noodles are faithfully made the same way, without using soy sauce nor herbs to season its stewing stock.
Its signature Braised Beef Noodle Soup 紅焼牛肉麺 (NT$150, SGD6.60) has all the flavours and aroma of the soup.
This features braised beef that's tender and tastier, a glistening, oily broth, and lots of chopped greenish onions.
While the broth is flavourful, it could leave a greasy feeling in your mouth after eating.
The Pure Braised Beef Noodle Soup (NT$150, SGD6.60) comes with a leaner cutting of beefiness, and non equally rich as the braised version.
Normally, I prefer to get for the "Hong Shao" or Braised Soup for more layered and robust taste of the soup.
The "pure beef" tasted like it was just boiled, simply allows you lot to savour the tender texture and more natural flavours of the beef.
The principal thing I didn't quite fancy was the thickness of the noodles (though it was chewy and had a expert fleck), nigh larger than Sanuki-style udon, which could give a heavy feeling especially if your appetite is modest.
The card features appetisers like Pure Braised Beef (NT$90), Braised Beef (NT$90), and Fried Pork Chop (NT$80). These are substantially the same meats minus the noodles.
The soup is served in large bowls but if you need More soup, you can request for more.
If you need more layers of flavour in your soup, there are available condiments on the table: dou-chi or chili blackness beans, chili oil, soy sauce, and chili paste.
