New Eight Joy Beef Noodle Soup Introduction
At "Xin Ba Le," the beef is stewed to perfection, tender yet holding its shape, with a rich broth that carries the aroma of beef tallow, and the noodles are delightfully chewy. Furthermore, the prices for their beef noodles are quite reasonable. The broth is simmered for over twenty hours using beef bones rich in marrow, onions, tomatoes, and daikon radish (which uniquely eliminates the gamey taste of the beef), along with soybeans (to thicken the broth). This process extracts the warm sweetness of the marrow and fully releases the subtle sweetness of onions, the wonderful tanginess of tomatoes, and lycopene (which gives the broth its beautiful deep red color). Combined with stir-fried ginger bean sauce, it results in a broth with depth and layers of flavor. As for the beef, the restaurant uses Australian shin, which is packed with flavor without being tough, and is tender yet retains a satisfying texture. In addition to beef noodles, the restaurant offers a variety of delicious dishes, including clean and thick-cut beef intestines and tripe in their "beef offal noodle soup," the dry noodles topped with beef or beef offal are rich with the aroma of garlic, scallions, pepper, and beef tallow, and the light yet hearty "shredded pork and pickled mustard greens noodles" is also a must-try. Among the various side dishes, the smoked pork skin is particularly noteworthy.
