Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Hongshao (soy-flavored)' Beef Noodles are famous, but Taiwanese gourmets love this clear 'Qingdun' soup. No soy sauce means no hiding; beef freshness and daikon sweetness transmit directly. Ordered as 'Beef Noodles without noodles (Niurou Tang)' during carb restrictions; high protein, max satisfaction diet food.
