Army Restaurant Introduction
In 2015, Taoyuan City’s Golden Restaurant has many people thinking that the owner grew up in a military dependents' village or is from a mainland Chinese family, but in fact, the owner is a native Taiwanese, and his wife is a straightforward lady from Fuzhou. The couple has been in the restaurant business for a long time, originally running a roast meat shop before transforming into a military dependents' noodle shop. To perfect the taste and texture, the owner specifically learned from mothers in the military dependents' villages how to make noodles and side dishes, attracting food enthusiasts to come and taste. Because of their deep local roots, it has become a popular little restaurant for nearby neighbors. The menu at Army Noodle Shop is almost entirely made up of noodle dishes, with the most popular being the homemade noodles, which are chewy and rich in ingredients, served in a sweet broth that satisfies hunger quickly. The signature dried mixed noodles, made with black pig lard, are also a popular dish, full of aroma. Accompanying the noodles are the must-try marinated dishes and side dishes, which are refreshing and not greasy, making them enjoyable every time. While waiting for the dishes to be served, it’s often the best time to admire the shop’s decorations, adorned with a dazzling array of national flags, portraits of the founding father and Chiang Kai-shek, military uniform badges, the Daitong baby, and military dependents' village house numbers, all filled with a strong retro vibe.
