One of Taiwan’s iconic dishes: beef noodle

If you go to Taiwan without eating some beef noodle, you’ll definitely miss something. A little bit as if you went to Tokyo without trying a good sushi or ramen restaurant. Beef noodle is a simple, traditional dish. A very tasty one loved by locals and tourists alike. And it is a serious matter too: Taiwan has one “Taipei Beef Noodle Development Association” that has a very rich Facebook page on which you’ll find the winners of each year’s national beef noodle competition.

The one on the picture above was ordered and eaten in a small restaurant near Guting station called Guo Ji Beef Noodle restaurant (on the map above). This old fashioned (some would say authentic) place with funny and friendly grandma staff is serving a delicious choice of beef noodles. Wonderful taste, cheap prices, true atmosphere… perfect.
