Old School beef noodles

Liu Shandong Beef Noodles is perhaps the most famous beef noodle joint in Taipei, the casual eatery has been around since the 50s and is now a Taiwan institution. The meal is very small and is all about the beef noodles, with two choices, either the clear beef broth or the red braise broth. Liu Shandong is extremely old school and you would be expected to share a table with strangers if you don't have enough people to make up a whole table and is walk-in only.

I ordered the beef breast as a starter, which was cooked in a red-braised broth, with a hint of Chinese herbs aroma, which was smooth and light. For a change, I opted for the fried pork chop noodles, the pork was well seasoned, and what I really enjoyed is the smoothness of the thick noodles. The hero dish, the beef noodles in clear beef broth was great executed, the beef was tender, and absorbed all the wonderful flavours from the broth, very savory with a great balance of saltiness and sweetness.

I can understand why Liu Shandong is such a popular noodle joint and has been around for so long. You got to be doing something right when you are tucked inside a narrow quiet street, and the secret is the taste of the beef noodles. It is absolutely loved by the locals and you will see all kind of people come by to dine in this little noodles joint, from students, workers on its lunch break to tourists.
