Army Restaurant Introduction
In 2015, the Golden Award Store in Taoyuan City might lead many to think that the owner grew up in a military village or is of Mainland Chinese descent, but in fact, the owner is a true Taiwanese, while his wife is a straightforward woman from Fuzhou. The couple has been in the catering business for a long time, originally operating a roast meat shop before transitioning to military village-style noodles. To ensure the flavors and textures are spot on, the owner specifically learned how to make noodles and side dishes from military village mothers, attracting food enthusiasts to come and taste. As a result of their deep local roots, it has become a popular eatery for neighborhood residents. The menu at the Army Cuisine House primarily features noodle dishes, with the most popular being the homemade noodle dumplings, which are chewy, rich in ingredients, and have a sweet broth that offers a satisfying fullness with just one bowl. The signature dry noodles are also a crowd favorite, mixed with black pork lard for a fragrant taste. Additionally, the must-have side dishes and braised foods are refreshing and not greasy, making them endlessly enjoyable. While waiting for the dishes to be served, it's often the best time to admire the decor inside the restaurant, filled with numerous national flags, portraits of the Founding Father and Chiang Kai-shek, military uniform insignias, a Datong baby, military village house numbers, and so on, all contributing to a strong vintage atmosphere.
