A total of 34 local restaurantsＭ specializing in beef noodles stood out in the final contest of the 2018 Taipei Beef Noodle Carnival earlier this month. Among the finalists, three were singled out by nine secret inspectors as winners of special awards, including Manor Beef in Daan District, Peninsula Beef Noodles in Xinyi District, and Savorylane Noodles in Shilin District.
Other finalists included famous restaurants such as the Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodles chain, a four-time champion of the previous Taipei Beef Noodle Festival. According to the Taipei New Row Mian Exchange Development Association, the event organizer, the association arranged the carnival itself this year to promote the dish, as Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je abolished the annual festival when he took office in 2014.
There are almost 3,000 beef noodle restaurants in Taipei. Among the 36 restaurants that made the Bib Gourmand Selection of this year’s Michelin Guide Taipei, eight are in fact beef noodle eateries, showing how important the dish is on the city’s gourmet map.
