Xin Ba Le Beef Noodle Soup Introduction
"Xin Ba Le" offers beef that is tender yet retains its shape, with a rich broth infused with the aroma of beef fat, and the noodles are exceptionally chewy. Additionally, the price of their beef noodles is very reasonable. The broth is simmered for over twenty hours using beef bones rich in marrow, onions, tomatoes, and white radishes (the unique spiciness helps eliminate the beefy odor), along with yellow soybeans (which make the broth thicker). This process extracts the mild sweetness of the beef marrow, as well as the light sweetness of the onions, the delightful acidity of the tomatoes, and the lycopene (which gives the broth a beautiful deep red color). Combined with stir-fried ginger and soybean paste, it results in a broth that is both profound and layered. As for the beef, the restaurant uses Australian beef shank, which is richly meaty, soft yet not mushy, providing a satisfying texture. Besides the beef noodles, the menu features a delightful beef tripe noodle dish with the tripe and stomach cleaned thoroughly, cut thick and in large pieces, offering a chewy and enjoyable bite; dry mixed noodles with beef or beef offal are fragrant with garlic, scallions, pepper, and beef fat, while the preserved vegetable and shredded pork noodles are fresh and loaded with ingredients. Among the various side dishes, the smoked pigskin stands out as the most distinctive.
