If you have been to the Da-an distract of Taipei, you might have come across this famous Taiwanese Beef Noodles shop Jiu-Wu Beef Noodles 玖五牛肉麵.

The brand has been brought into Hong Kong by Laurinda Ho – daughter of billionaire Stanley Ho (She has been described as “shockingly gorgeous” and you may just spot her while having your Taiwanese fare).
Actually, I did see her. But we clueless diners were clearly more focused on the food. Sorry about that, Laurinda!

The wall of the restaurant is peppered with framed photos of cheery Hong Kong celebrities having their bowl of beef noodles, and that includes GEM, Alex Fong, Kenny Bee and a couple of young artiste I failed to recognize (Sorry, too long never watch TVB.) Sammi Cheng also showed her support on IG and gave her thumbs up.

Jiu-Wu’s signature Beef Noodles comes with options of three different broths – braised, tomato, spicy; along with a dry version.
A bowl starts from HKD78 (SGD13.75), while the recommend 3-in-1 Beef Noodles with meat, tendon and honeycomb trip is priced at HKD95 (SGD16.70).

To maintain its authenticity, Jiu-Wu uses premium beef and the precious cuts from the shank meat, while its noodles are made with precise specifications by a noodle factory in Hong Kong to maintain the QQ texture.

The noodles are said to have a ”gua tang” effect, in which the soup would envelop the strand of noodles.
The winning element is really in its soup base, made cooking the beef bones for eight hours with the addition of herbs and other secret ingredients. I found it mellow, flavourful and not overly salty.
It was quite close to some of the brands I had in Taiwan, except that some diners would prefer a more robust and stronger tasting soup base.

Other than that, you can also look forward to side dishes of Braised Beef – prepared using a secret sauce recipe from Jiu-Wu family so that the meat remains tender and stronger in flavour; and Cold Noodles mixed with butter oil, fresh cucumber, and sesame sauce from a century old store in Taiwan.
The Rice Bowls also come recommended, with Fried Pork Chop with Braised Pork Rice (HKD78), Braised Pork Rice with Fried Pork Floss (HKD64), and Taiwanese Sausage and Braised Pork Sauce with Rice (HKD68) – similar to the familiar Lu Rou Fan.

If you come in a group, I would suggest sharing some of the Braised Beef or Pork, especially the tendon which is tender and deliciously soft.
