[Taipei] Yong Kang Beef Noodles (永康牛肉麵)

Beef noodles (new row mian) is probably one of the most popular food of Taipei. In the earlier days, Taiwan is depended mostly on agriculture and most Taiwanese refrained from eating precious cattle needed for agriculture. Since the retreat of Kuomintang to Taiwan in the late 1940s, the waishengren  (外省人) started selling beef noodles and since 25% of Taipei residents are waishengren, beef noodles is an iconic cuisine in Taipei. The city even have started an international beef noodles festival since 2004.

I visited the outlet Guāngfù South Rd, which is adjacent to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall!
