Red Bestial Superfine Beef Noodles


One of the most wide-spread dishes you can find in Taiwan is called "Beef noodles" (牛肉niú ròu miàn). For a delicious, economical and local variety of beef noodles from a very hospitable owner, try the Red Bestial Superfine Beef Noodles shop in Dashe. Here's what you need to know:

Location: In Dashe, across the street from the temple on Jhong Hwa Rd. (中華路). It is located next door to the large tree where elderly people like to gather to chess and other games. 


Directions from MAK: Go into Dashe on the main road (Jhong Shan Rd. 中山路). At the first major intersection (where there is a Hi-Life Convenience Store), turn left. You'll now be on the morning market road (Jin Long Rd. 金龍路). Follow this road until the next major intersection (again, with a convenience store on your right). Turn right onto Jhong Hwa Rd. (中華路). When you see the temple on your right, look across the street for the Red Bestial Superfine Beef Noodles shop (sign is in English & Chinese). The kitchen is in the front and the seating is in the back. Walk past the kitchen to sit down and use the ordering form. You can pay on your way out, after eating. 


Parking: Easy. You can park right next to the restaurant. If the temple isn't busy, you can also park in front of it. 


Costs: Economical. Dishes range from 35 NT for a basic bowl of sesame noodles to 80 NT for rice and beef. 


Recommended dishes: The first five dishes on the menu are some form of beef noodles and all of them are delicious. Try the 4th one from the top for something special--it's shaved/handmade noodles with meat and vegetables (70NT).  (See picture below)




Their "economical" beef noodles (the first one listed on the menu for 55NT) is a reasonable portion and delicious, too:




If you like spicy foods, try the handmade dumplings in red sauce (18th on the menu and 40 NT for a plate, as pictured below). Yum! This works well as a side dish.





They also have lots of drinks for sale and side dishes, too, as is pictured at the top. 


Happy eating!
