Oct 1, 2016 – Iron Cow Taiwanese Beef Noodles (鐵牛台灣牛肉麵)

Before we headed off to view the fireworks for the National Day of the People’s Republic of China and do some pokemon hunting on October 1, Willa led us to Iron Cow Taiwanese Beef Noodles at Tsim Sha Tsui for some Taiwanese beef noodles.  She said that this was one of her favourite spots to have authentic Taiwanese beef noodles and she was right!

When we got to the restaurant just before 8 p.m. (located in the lower level of a Hilton Towers plaza), there were a lot of people there waiting in line for a table.  We took a number from the hostess and then looked at the menu to see what we would order and checked off the items on the order sheet to save time.

Once we were called for a table, we placed our orders at the cashier and paid first.  Once we got to our table, our food came shortly afterwards.  The restaurant was packed with lots of (mostly) young people that night.

The restaurant was so packed!

Here’s what we ordered:

The Taro pearl milk tea (芋香珍珠奶茶) had lots of big chewy tapioca balls.  The tara flavour was quite nice too.
