"Handmade Meat Soup Traditional Flavor" is located near Dihua Street and Dadaocheng. Today, I ended up eating here somewhat unintentionally (because I needed to find a restroom, and they just happened to have one, so I decided to eat here XD). We arrived for dinner around 5:30 on a Saturday night, and they close at 6:30. There were about 2-3 groups of customers in the meantime, which is not too many.

The dining environment in the restaurant is average and looks rather old, but it's not dirty enough that the floor is covered in trash. It’s fine for a simple meal, although the restroom, while clean, had a bit of a strong odor.

Dry Noodles $40
It's just a bowl of simple noodles topped with minced meat. The saltiness is just right, and I liked the flavor, but the noodles were cooked a bit too soft, which is a small pity.

Mixed Meat Soup $65
The soup has a herbal medicine taste. It’s not bad, but personally, I prefer the sweeter style of soup from the south. The mixed soup includes crispy fish bits and meat chunks, and I preferred the fish bits, which were crunchy and worked well after soaking up some broth before eating.

Double Choice Side Dishes $40
You can choose two out of many side dishes. We chose 3 pieces of fried tofu and some dried tofu, and the portion was quite generous. It's a good deal for only $40. The side dishes themselves are light, but when you add the sweet soy sauce, they take on a sweeter taste.

VASO Hong Meat Sauce Rice Shop is a Bib Gourmand recommended restaurant. I had eaten at the Kaohsiung location before and thought the spicy meat sauce rice with a soft-boiled egg was amazing. The meat sauce was rich in gelatin, the spiciness was just right, and I gave it a five-star review right after finishing. Recently, I found out that they opened a branch in Anping, Tainan, so of course I had to try it, but the experience was a bit disappointing.

This time I ordered the signature meat sauce rice, and while the flavor was okay, it felt slightly different from the Kaohsiung store. The spiciness was a bit weaker, and the sauce aroma wasn’t as rich. I’m not sure if it was just the cooking conditions that day. Although it was still better than typical braised pork rice, it lacked the stunning impression I had before. The meat bone soup I ordered was quite shocking; there was a piece of meat in it that had a lot of hair. I truly don’t understand what part it was, and it instantly affected my appetite. The soup base was also average, without any special aromas, which was completely different from my impression of the Kaohsiung location.

The vegetables and side dishes were just ordinary—there were no special surprises. Overall, the meat sauce rice at the Anping location maintained a fair standard, but it wasn’t as impressive as the Kaohsiung store. The other dishes were quite normal. I originally came in with extremely high expectations, so I was a bit disappointed. I would give the Kaohsiung store five stars, but for the Anping store, I can only give about 3.5 stars.

💠 A Piece of Fermented Stinky Tofu

Hi everyone! I'm Wolf Wolf 🪽

Stinky Tofu Lovers, take note! 📝 This place, "A Piece of Fermented Stinky Tofu," fries their stinky tofu to a crispy exterior and tender interior, so crispy that you can't stop at one bite—it's truly soul food at the night market level!

🟤 Fermented Stinky Tofu (Large serving 80 TWD)

✨ Fried to a golden crisp, the outer skin is super crispy, while the inside is soft and juicy, with a slight porous texture; it absorbs the sauce really well!
✨ Unique enzyme fermentation brings out rich layers of aroma, not overwhelmingly salty stinky, but rather a subtle fermented fragrance that even those who usually don't eat stinky tofu can accept!
✨ Taiwanese pickles add a finishing touch, paired with slightly sweet and slightly sour Taiwanese pickles that are refreshing and crunchy, perfectly cutting through the richness and enhancing the overall flavor!

✅ Eat it hot; the crispy exterior and tender interior are the best!

This seems to be a store that has just opened not long ago. I walked in with a curiosity to try it out.

The store has a medium-sized space, but there were quite a few customers during lunchtime, so it might take a while to wait.

After entering, I first took a menu. This time I ordered pork meatball noodles. Additionally, there were some side dishes in the fridge that I could help myself to; there were several options, but I forgot and only took the chilled chicken feet.

The pork meatball had a thin layer of batter, so the meat was quite tender. The noodles were smooth and not mushy, but the soup base was just average; it felt like adding some pepper would improve the flavor.

As for the chicken feet, they were nothing special, just average.

Overall, considering the price, this store is not bad.

💠 San Sheng Qiao Fu | Guangzhou Store

Hi～ everyone～ I'm Wolf Wolf🪽

When it comes to representative chain beef noodle shops, "San Sheng Qiao Fu" absolutely brings back memories for many people since childhood! 🍜 This time I came to the Guangzhou store and ordered a bowl of steaming original flavor beef noodles, paired with the must-have free pickled vegetables, which is simply the soul combination!

🍜 Must-Eat Recommendations

🥩 Original Flavor Beef Noodles
The broth is rich without being overly salty, with a hint of herbal fragrance. The beef is stewed to be tender enough to melt in your mouth! Coupled with the chewy noodles, every bite is a familiar classic Taiwanese taste. The highlight is that you can "get free extra broth."

🌱 Blanched Green Vegetables (Ching Jiang Cai)
Simply blanched to retain a crisp texture, perfectly balanced with the meat sauce, refreshing and just right!

🥤 Sprite
A must-have soul drink to go with beef noodles, taking a sip instantly refreshes and cleanses the palate, the fizz is super enjoyable!

This place is really delicious. Every time I come to Tainan, I have to eat here, especially the beef with Chinese broccoli, which is exceptionally tasty. Paired with the minced beef rice, it's unbeatable. The beef soup is also flavorful, the beef itself is tender and juicy, and the overall environment is very clean, making it feel comfortable to eat. There are plenty of seats as well. In short, I highly recommend everyone to come and give this place a try! Highly recommended!

This is a food shop located in an alley; there aren't many seats inside, and it is often fully booked during meal times.

Whether dining in or taking out, you need to fill out a meal order form first. After giving it to the shop, you can pay after receiving your food or finishing your meal.

Although there are quite a few people, the food is served fairly quickly, and after waiting a while, the meal was ready.

This time I ordered shredded pork fried rice. Firstly, the portion of rice is quite generous, suitable for those who want to eat a lot.

In terms of the meal, I personally found it to be just average, mainly due to the seasoning; the fried rice was rather bland and tasteless, as if no sauce had been added. Additionally, the shredded pork was a bit dry and tough, not the soft and tender type I prefer.

Overall, it wasn't bad, but I probably won't try it again.

The curry is like mucus; everything is cold and all the dishes are very soft, especially the fried ones. It might be because I arrived late for the graduation trip, but I feel like I still won’t come back to eat here next time. Eating here really affects my mood. With this money, I think it would be more worthwhile to eat on Kenting Street. But I still have to say, the fish was hot, boneless, and tasted pretty good.

There is a food court on the basement level 3 of the department store next to Taipei Station. This is a Taiwanese restaurant located in one corner of that area. The restaurant has its own eat-in space, although the number of seats isn't very large, so you don't have to worry about finding a seat in the food court! ✨

【Atmosphere of the restaurant】★★★ 3
The interior has both table seating and counter-style side-by-side seating, making it easy to eat alone! Orders are placed via QR code, making it convenient for tourists too!

【Food Evaluation】★★★ 3
I ordered a set of dry beef noodles with braised pork! The slightly spicy flavor was very appetizing. The meat was also very tender and easy to eat! The set includes a boiled dish of tofu and kelp, pickled radish, and a drink. As someone who isn't good with spicy food, I was really helped by the side dishes and drink! 🥵
The flavor of the beef noodles themselves wasn’t very pronounced; while the texture was good, I didn't feel much umami (maybe due to the spiciness?).

While this restaurant specializes in beef noodles, there were many different varieties available, and I would love to try some other types as well!
