The beef soup broth is refreshing, and the thin slices of beef are aromatic but slightly tough in texture. The beef stew, on the other hand, has a sweet Tainan flavor, with thick and tender beef that is quite satisfying.
The market is old and full of character, with an atmosphere of "only those who wake up early can enjoy it," allowing one to experience the daily life of Tainan locals.
Tainan really has a high standard for beef soup at almost every shop. This time, at a place in the Anding market, I saw a bunch of locals having breakfast early in the morning, and I instantly thought: Yes, this is the daily routine of Tainan people. 🤣
The market itself has an old charm, and walking in gives you that "only early risers can enjoy this" feeling. The beef soup has a refreshing broth, and the beef is sliced thin, with a strong beef aroma—though I found the texture a bit tough.
I actually recommend their beef stew soup even more! The sweet taste characteristic of Tainan is a big plus, the beef is cut thicker and is more tender, plus it has a slightly powdery color. The whole bowl is super smooth to drink. 👍
Pair it with a bowl of braised pork rice to fill your stomach, and breakfast is very satisfying! Next time I come to the market and want something hot, I’ll definitely add this to my must-try list. 😋
