Taiwan’s Beef Noodle Soup: Just one of countless reasons to love and follow “Eating Asia”

If it weren’t for “Eating Asia” the food words-and-photography genius-team of Robyn Eckhardt and David Hagerman, we would still have a grand and tasty time in Taiwan, but we would not feast in nearly the frequent, magnificient, knowledgable, and varied way we do thanks to their work. Not only can you click your way to Asian food heaven by reading their extraordinary and extensive blogposts; you can also find their words/pictures on Zester Daily. Check them out once, and you will go back for more.

Here are two places you can find their work online:

This particular post led us to the amazing Taiwanese beef noodle soup master, whose small cafe is located back in a food-stall/market alley not far from Taipei’s main railroad station:

This feature by “Eating Asia” in the Asian Wall Street Journal led us to Astoria Coffee Shop, also featured in this post.

After this mighty fine meal, we headed back out to the main street, in search of a nearby pleasure shared by “Eating Asia”: Astoria Coffee Shop, a European-style coffee shop which serves up a proud pour of local culinary history along with the java and treats.

    Hi Nancie, love your post! i will not forget how your replied immediately to my tweet. unfortunately i did not have much time on my own (with husband – conference) and we only stayed 2 full days. I still have to finish writing a post on the flatbread and deep fried bread stick I had at YongHe’s King of Soy Milk. I will visit and eat at Astoria next time I go to Taipei.
    Cheers

      Thanks, Chris; so glad to be in touch with you. Know what you mean about time — every minute we were in Taipei offered so many delights, some of the food-kind, but so many others in terms of people and places…It seems such a shame to have to sleep during our visits, but I reluctantly do so. I came home with lots to post, and I will look forward to visiting your blog and savoring your YongHe story in particular.
