A Bowl Of Noodle - Mì Bò Đài Loan — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

I just came back from a TW trip a few weeks ago, so i fancy myself some beef noodles to remember the taste back then, but this place sadly is not it.

I find it strange when the broth can be both salty and bland at the same time, and there's no particular strong point to the broth. The herbal taste is quite lacking and I think the place tone down the herbal in the broth to fit more with the general vietnamese taste.

The noodles are ok, it's not the wheat noodle i had back in TW, but it's better than the average noodles around here.

The beef, while tender and quite juicy, is very little in terms of quantity. I find it hard to finish the noodle when there's only a couple slices of beef in my bowl.

The fried nugget is both dry and stale, while the noodle tastes somewhat flavorless. So in order to add some punch to it, we added the chilly oil, and this is where the next problem lies. The chilly oil here is NOT the normal aftertaste-focus chilly oil, but the straight up spicy tasting oil. This makes the oil overpowered everything when added to a bowl. There are places where I regularly return to just because of the chilly oil, it's literally make or break a bowl.

In conclusion, it's a disappointing experience for me, both in terms of...

Tucked away in a small alley of District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, lies an unexpected treasure — a cozy Taiwanese noodle shop that instantly transported me back to the streets of Taiwan. This humble eatery serves a variety of authentic Taiwanese comfort foods, including beef noodle soup, zhajiangmian (minced pork noodles), and crispy salted fried chicken — all made with the unmistakable flavors of home.

What makes this place stand out isn’t just the food (which is excellent), but also the story behind it. The owner is straight from Taiwan, and you can really taste the care and tradition in every bite. The beef noodle soup, in particular, is rich and flavorful, with tender beef and perfectly chewy noodles — easily one of the best I’ve had outside of Taiwan.

Prices are incredibly reasonable too. Most noodle dishes are under VND 100,000, making this a fantastic value for such authentic taste. The portion sizes are generous, and you definitely get more than what you pay for.

The interior of the shop is small but full of character. The walls are decorated with stories, handwritten notes, and cultural tidbits that tell the tale of Taiwanese food and its connection to the owner’s personal journey. It’s warm, welcoming, and has a truly...

I recently had the pleasure of trying a bowl of Taiwanese noodles, and it was an unforgettable experience. The dish was a perfect balance of flavours and textures, starting with the springy, chewy noodles that served as the foundation. They were cooked to perfection, maintaining just the right amount of bite.

The broth was rich and aromatic, with a depth of flavor that came from a careful blend of spices and ingredients. Whether it was a comforting beef broth or a savory vegetarian option, each spoonful was packed with umami, leaving me craving more.

Toppings like tender braised meat, fresh vegetables, and fragrant herbs added complexity and freshness to the bowl. The addition of chili oil brought just the right amount of heat, elevating the dish further without overwhelming the palate.

Overall, this a bowl of Taiwanese noodles was a delightful culinary journey that showcased the best of Taiwanese cuisine in Saigon. It's a must-try for anyone looking to explore comforting and flavorful noodle dishes. Highly...
