noodle I am in la la sandong nandong has been here since 1949 three generation passing down the secret recipe of sandong beef noodle and sandong beef noodle is a little bit different from the Taiwanese beef noodle the soup is much more clearer and that's what I was told and the family started this after they migrate from sundom Province I presume and started this business and it's been going on since 1949 unbelievable M it's the incredible juicy meat [Music] I would say that the soup is so clear look at that the soup seriously the highlight and I think they they boiled I saw some of the interview that the boss gave to the Press they boiled the soup for hours hours and hours and hours and with a secret uh homemade recipe of course to come out with the soup and the beef look at the
