Indeed, why would they not? Whether it is the street food found in street markets or proper meals such as beef noodles or taiwanese bento, Taiwan has it all. Having said that I have a secret rule of thumb when it comes to food, that is, I will never eat Taiwanese food in Hong Kong and the same applies to the Hong Kong food in Taiwan. It might be a preconception on mine that the authenticity would very much be lost when the cuisine is introduced to a foreign piece of land; adding to that would be the fact that I have been let down for too many times and have gradually lose faith in it. It wasn't until I have come to this shop coincidentally that I gradually restore hope in Taiwanese cuisines in Hong Kong. I think the best way to tell whether a restaurant is good or not is to try out the basics; beef noodle soup is a staple of Taiwan and it would very well be a good indicator in how well a restaurant prepare their foods. The broth is quintessential in a bowl of noodles and 程班長 does it like no others. Traditional taiwanese beef noodle broth is rich and seasoned with soy sauce, behind the mellow fullness a punch of heat will catch you by surprise, and this is exactly how the broth is like in 程班長; going against the slightly broad and substantial noddles, the two matches perfectly. Whereas for the priced jewel, the meats, which could either be brisket, tendon or tripe or all 3 of them, are all very well braised and are melt in your mouth tender. Last but not least, the pickles that add to the noodle soup play an important role in spicing up the flavors as well as freshen up the mouthful. Thank to this restaurant, may be it is not a bad idea to give a little try on taiwanese restaurants in Hong Kong; a leap of faith is indeed called for nonetheless.

But of course there are many other restaurants to try out around that area. Back to the restaurant. It is highly-rated at openrice.com, an almost-exclusive HK restaurants site. So I guess that said a bit about the quality. I had the most famous beef noodles. The soup was beef soup of which it has been boiled for 16 hours and rested for three days before use to get the taste. Awesome. The noodles was chewy too. And the beef, although only 3 pieces, they were tender and had the best proportion of fat the meat. Kinda costly for this one though. $47 for a bowl of beef noodles. +$15 for an iced drink. The restaurant is small. So be expected to wait or sit outside or share table with other eaters.

I am glad to know that the construction is finally done between the Citylink Plaza and The Sha Tin mall. I have always loved Citylink Plaza mainly because it was never too crowded and it has a wide variety of shops and restaurants. After taking the escalator, I saw this new restaurant called Xiao Wang Beef Noodle. It looked a bit like fast-foody to me but I guess that suits the location very well as the entire floor here caters for employees mostly. I personally love Taiwanese food as it is simple and yet tasty. Over here I have to say that they serve the best deep fried chicken steak. It was crispy and burning hot. Not too salty and of right flavor. The food portion over all is rather large - typical Taiwanese cuisine. As for the beef noodle, unfortunately it was a bit disappointing as I expected this to be their signature dish but yet it was rather ordinary and I have tried better. Service was a bit chaotic that day because of the huge crowd, staff seemed to be too busy so there were several times I saw them served the wrong dish to the wrong table. Anyway, the price range is reasonable so I might come back for a quick lunch next time.

At first I thought 101 Taiwanrice was a play on words ("台灣飯") but even when the Chinese name is much more prominent (101肉燥飯專門店), I still can't take this place seriously. To no one's surprise, it's a chain. And amongst the many locations throughout Kowloon and HK island, TST is among the more popular ones. The fare is advertised as Taiwanese, but of course has a HK flair to it. With things like pb and butter toast, macaroni soups, fishball noodles, etc; local tastes win again. While the HK portion is actually kind of tasty and a hell of a deal during lunch, I try to stick with the Taiwanese portion of the menu. Everything from 3 cup chicken to minced pork over rice felt watered down flavor wise. Their personal sized hot pot combos are super popular, but a little cheesy overall. Any one looking for stinky tofu ought to look somewhere else (#1) Service is pretty good and the food is fairly affordable for the most part.

Alas, I was mildly disappointed because everything I ordered was bland. Not a good bland where you think other dishes should fare well, but the kind of bland where most other (relatable ) items are likely to be the same. The scene was promising at first; super busy on a Wednesday night with a wait, and it was so cramped and tight inside that they had solo diners and small parties sit with each other. Sharing tables is a normal experience in narrow establishments, but I had a strange feeling when I noticed most everyone drowning their food in condiments + sauces (sesame oil, oyster sauce, vinegar, etc.). After filling out my order on their a la carte paper sheets, the first thing that arrived at the table was the soup dumplings (小籠包). There were a couple that had no juice / broth at all, which was semi-Canto-Dim-Sum like of this place. The two that did have broth was so bland that I immediately nervous of the same effect within their namesake dish, shengjian bao (生煎包). Turns out I was right, the broth was limited in each bun and like the others around me, I began dousing vinegar into my baos to get some kick out of it. It didn't help much. The next item was century egg over tofu (皮蛋豆腐), which was a tad funky but lacking in flavor overall. Next up was the recommendation to me by the server, a Sichuan dan dan noodle soup (四川擔擔麵) which was nothing short of an abomination. The broth was disappointing, but the noodles were equally lackluster. I eventually told the server, who apologized and offered something else instead of my sad bowl of noodles. So I ordered the vegetable steamed rice (菜販) with their local favorite, marinated chicken wings (土匪雞翼). The rice was okay with a little hot oil, but the wings were average at best. I really loved the look of the black sesame seeds sprinkled all over the wings, but alas, the marinade just could not save the meal. I hate being harsh, but there was literally nothing (food wise) I was gung ho about from the start. The service was adequate, the cash only prices are reasonable, but having tried a number of items on their menu only to find mediocrity is indeed disappointing. I am giving some benefit of the doubt by believing there are better days ahead, but it will be a while before I return.

Of course, like most hong kong restaurants, this place is an "eat, pay and go" type place. They're pretty friendly about it all though and if you're a tourist, they'll try their best to communicate in english with you. The order form is only in Chinese, but the shop does have a simplified English menu floating around. Tip: Come earlier for dinner (around 6:30pm) to avoid the queue.

And my my, was my noodle soup piping hot!! Mhmmm super warm and hearty, with a generous serving of coriander. WINNING. THAT BROTH THOUGH, HOLY COW. Very very flavorful. It reminds of the soup at the end of hot pot when everything's been cooked in it. Just like that. Full of beef flavor. I loveeeee. For the dry noodles with garlic sauce, it reminds me of tsukemen, where the broth came on the side. It's the same broth used for the noodle soup but a tad saltier. I saw the chili pepper next to this item on the menu so was hesitant about ordering it. But I tried a bit of my friend's and it wasn't too spicy at all! I'll definitely return for it! (And will need to return for the other skewers and cumin fried chicken wings!!) How much did we spend among four people? HK$205. What a STEAL! Around HK$50 per person. It doesn't get any better than that. Plus serving size is much bigger than that of Kau Kee, and for the same price, you're better off coming to Qinghai Tibetan Noodles. NOM AWAY!
