Fans of Taiwan’s Niu Dian Beef Noodles no longer have to travel all the way to Taiwan just to slurp on a bowl of its hearty noodles — the popular brand opens its first outlet in Singapore on Feb 13, 2023!

The famed noodle shop was established in 2005 at Ximending in Taipei. Since then, it has gone on to become one of the most popular restaurants in the city. This will be its first and only branch outside Taiwan.

The Singapore outpost is located at mixed-use development VIIO @ Balestier, beside Zhongshan Park.

The restaurant has won plenty of plaudits and awards in its 18-year history, including landing itself a spot among the recipients of the Michelin Guide’s prestigious Bib Gourmand award.

What makes Niu Dian Beef Noodles special is the chef-owner’s distinct broth-preparation method that renders it reminiscent of a consomme, influenced by his training in Western cuisine.

The soup is made with a unique blend of Taiwanese cow bones and Australian short ribs, while a helping of spicy bone-marrow oil is provided for those who wish to give it more dimension.

Fans can expect its iconic classics in Singapore, such as the combination specialty beef noodles — a hearty bowl filled with a plethora of beef parts, including boneless beef rib fingers, golden coin, tripe, and tendon.

Each bowl can be customised as preferred, with either the original broth or the 24-hour braised broth.

Besides that, there are also other popular choices such as the premium braised combination beef noodles and dry spicy pepper combination specialty beef noodles that’s been given a potent spicy kick with the addition of Sichuan peppers.
