Xin Ba Le Beef Noodle Introduction
"Xin Ba Le" serves beef stew that is tender yet holds its shape, with a rich broth that carries the aroma of beef fat. The noodles are also very chewy, and besides that, the prices of the beef noodles at Xin Ba Le are quite reasonable. The broth is crafted by simmering beef bones rich in marrow, onions, tomatoes, white radishes (which add a unique spiciness to eliminate the beefy smell), and yellow soybeans (which make the broth thicker) for over twenty hours. This process extracts the warm sweetness of the marrow, alongside the subtle sweetness of the onions, the delightful sourness of the tomatoes, and the lycopene (which gives the broth a beautiful deep red color). When paired with stir-fried ginger and bean paste, it becomes a broth with depth and complexity. As for the beef, the restaurant uses Australian beef shank, which is flavorful and tender without being mushy, providing a delightful texture. In addition to beef noodles, the beef tripe and beef intestines are meticulously cleaned, cut into thick chunks, and create a soft and chewy experience in the mixed beef offal noodles. There are also dry mixed noodles with beef or beef offal that are infused with the aromas of garlic, scallions, pepper, and beef fat, as well as the refreshing and hearty shredded pork with pickled mustard greens noodles, which are also impressive. Among the various side dishes, the smoked pig's skin is the most distinctive.
