Taipei Xinyi 'Lin Family Medicinal Beef Noodles' - The Origin of Bib Gourmand Beef Noodles!
🍜Lin Family Beef Noodles is located around Taipei Medical University. Although it's in the Xinyi District, it's in a residential area that tourists are less familiar with, so it takes a bit of time to get there. However, this seemingly ordinary noodle shop hides an amazing taste! According to legend, the first-generation owner was the father of the owner of another famous beef noodle shop in Taipei, Lin Dongfang. After the original owner passed away, the youngest son has continued to carry on this delicious tradition.
🍜The specialty lies in its unique medicinal broth, which is completely different from the common braised or clear broth beef noodles. The broth is refreshing but not greasy, with a slight sweetness that becomes the main theme of the meal, lingering throughout the dining experience. It is recommended to order their half-tendon beef offal noodles, with various signature ingredients fully displayed on the noodles. Tender beef tendon, chewy tripe, twisted intestines, and solid beef. It's hard to know where to start, so it's suggested to move some of the good stuff to a side dish first.
🍜First, enjoy the original flavor of the beef noodles to experience the carefully brewed broth. Halfway through, the owner thoughtfully offers a soup refill service. Then, add the spicy beef oil on the table, which elevates the flavor. The spicy beef oil's spiciness blends perfectly with the broth's slight sweetness, without the greasy feeling that usually comes with adding beef oil to braised broth. Next, put the tripe, intestines, and tendon back into the soup. The intestines absorb the essence of the spicy beef oil, creating another unique dish. One bowl, two experiences, completing the entire dining experience!
🍜The side dishes at Lin Family Beef Noodles are also worth trying. The braised tofu is a must-order, well-seasoned with a slight medicinal aroma. Overall, Lin Family Beef Noodles' medicinal flavor is unique, with solid ingredients and well-seasoned side dishes, making it a bowl of beef noodles that leaves a lasting impression. For those who like to try new things or want to taste a different flavor from traditional beef noodles, Lin Family Beef Noodles is definitely worth a try.
