Chef Hung's Champion Noodles

Every Asian girl loves her noodles. That being said the animated noodle statue at the front door of Chef Hung's Taiwanese Beef Noodle really caught my eye. Also, it was Chinese New Year and Mandi and I were trying to escape the throngs of people in the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond. 

Chef Hung was named the champion of the prestigious Taipai International Beef Noodle Festival for three consecutive years and in 2012 it was awarded "Best Noodle House" by the Vancouver Restaurant Awards. Clearly, we had to have it - two Champion Beef Shank with Noodle soups, please. 

This soup was really, really, really good!! The broth was super flavourful and a little bit spicy and the beef was very tender. We liked it so much we've already been back once and this time we had to bring Dan. I also really enjoyed the Shredded Dried Pork & Egg Wrapped in Crispy Pancake that we got as an appetizer last time. 

I've spent two weeks with Mandi now and it brings so much joy to my heart seeing her, little white girl from Oakbank, Manitoba, become so Asian. She gets cravings for this noodle soup, I caught her stocking up on coconut buns at the T&T bakery the other day, and when she found out she was going to be staying over the weekend she asked if we were going for Dim Sum on Saturday. I couldn't be more proud.
