The Snow Ear Taiwanese-Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant in Taitung features a fusion of Taiwanese and Vietnamese dishes. The menu spans rice noodles, rice dishes, and various Vietnamese home-cooked meals, making it a local spot that leans towards everyday dining and convenience. The overall environment adopts a simple and practical style, being clean and bright without emphasizing decorative atmosphere, allowing guests to sit down comfortably and enjoy a quick meal.

This time, I ordered the beef rice noodles and Vietnamese pork rib rice. The broth of the beef rice noodles is relatively light and the aroma of the spices is not prominent, differing from traditional Vietnamese pho or rice noodles that lean heavily on spices, resulting in a milder overall flavor. The portion and texture of the beef are average; the rice noodles themselves are smooth and easy to eat, but the overall taste is straightforward and lacks memorable layers or highlights.

The Vietnamese pork rib rice, on the other hand, is prepared in a Southeast Asian style, with the ribs marinated before cooking, served with fresh vegetables. There is a hint of Vietnamese seasoning in the sweet and salty balance. However, the flavor of this dish is also conservative, the aroma is not particularly prominent, and while the texture of the ribs is acceptable, there is nothing particularly impressive about it.

Overall, the dishes at Snow Ear Taiwanese-Vietnamese Cuisine Restaurant, whether the beef rice noodles or the Vietnamese pork rib rice, are not unpleasant but are also unlikely to leave a strong impression. If you have high expectations for the complexity of spices in Vietnamese cuisine, you may find the flavors somewhat bland. However, considering its positioning as an everyday restaurant, it remains a stable and reliable choice.
