so you see the texture of the noodles is quite thick and flat any strand a noodle has different texture and a right over there we have this do the boiling pot of aromatics MC location1 a lively streetside beef lover's paradise serving up hearty bowls for about $3 right there those are the freshly cut noodle and they're gonna put those in the boil soup with a huge Bissell and you just stomping them in right there gigantic chopsticks stirring sticks I feel like a kid taking over they're not shy about the portion they gave you look at that it's huge they're gonna put in some broth and some of the feet here right yes oh there goes that's the mutton beef yeah look at those big pieces of leaving oh that portion is incredible when we came into the 3/4 dollar place I was like all right we'll get through this and then move on these look majestic I really love the environment on this place although these noodles look amazing as well this place is so packed I even we even got our little neighbor over here eating to and back to us
yeah I want to give a little bit of privacy so he can enjoy his notes alone that's what I would want what are we doing you're ready to jump into it yeah I mean first you want to mix it up because it's like canoe dough is quite sticky you see it kind of clumps together yeah but it's beautiful because the soup just clings right on you got a nice beefy piece of beef at once let's go for it mm meaning below firm but still a nice texture and then from there we can just get a bunch of these dudes together hey-oh this team is just pouring off here we're both starving so we're ready awesome let's just go for it so they have these like imperfections like some are a little more fat some are more thin and then it's just great amazing like diverse chewy texture absolutely it's definitely chubbier than most noodles
but I love that how often do people eat something like this obviously we eat it throughout the day this place is open from warning tonight so it give me a breakfast too absolutely not only other noodles big but they're crazy long yeah ugly savory fill them oil on your lips BP and full of fat the price is what's most crazy to me absolutely that's a legitimate amount of like good quality beef broth that's been made with love simmering for hours there this place has been stamped if you're walking down the street and you see this dam then stop and get some nudes oh the location number two let's go and let's go and but actually let's stay here and eat this okay we have come to our second location and can you tell me what's so special about this place other than the fact that the chef and owner of the place has a statue of himself so right now we're at chef Han Chinese noodle soup chef ami is a renowned chef his pink poodle soup has won several international awards Wow which ones can you name them oh let's go we are inside now taking a look at the menu what is the average price of the normal it's kind of standard fee for having a braised beef shank noodle soup and it's 166 T's about $5 and then it goes up into here so there's 2:30 for a higher quality meat and then the highest is a thousand and 88 which is the one we're trying this one speaks to me five different types of beef is this the drumstick of the account
I've heard they're gonna let us go back into the kitchen and see how it's made let's go do that now right now we're headed into the kitchen I'm actually kind of honored so we're getting this like behind-the-scenes look it's a big unveiling moment go for it okay Oh would you just take a bath in there if you were allowed to him oh my gosh oh so all the bones and on the marrow is getting soft and leaking out into the broth making it nice and fatty so this is the aromatics with all the dried ingredients I was talking about that's what gives it that's a nice flavor fragrant flavor this is a finished beef and it's moved right here can I have that much in my bowl right now we're on kind of the assembly line where they're gonna make this bowl and we're gonna see it ribbed for our highs starting with a huge fistful noodles
so it's going in the little noodle net you don't know you like that and you don't it's going to clean there for three minutes what should we do if you have any good stories in the meantime oh we're back this is all for one oh not sure what those that you want anyone Wow yes it's all for a while okay that's a mess of our middle to start with there's tripe and then there's gonna be shank and in that large shank with the bone doesn't dig tendon this is crazy oh it's gonna blow torch Oh rip it's the rib this is American beautiful maybe I knew this cow and then right here the big bone-in shank just looking like a giant beef drumstick I'm starting to understand the price now sizzling some of the fat on there this is like some intense foreplay and then in with the broth and this is gonna be this same brought that everybody else is getting
so even if you're getting the five-dollar beef it's still the same profit it seems like the main difference is like these great cuts of meat just draping it over there can barely see the noodles it's just meat on top and then he's putting on some garnish a nice slow-motion garnish and that's it I love it I know I'm like scared to touch it cuz it's so beautiful there's huge amount of meat what's really interesting is with some of these parts like for example the tripe here he was talking about it's not just that it's tripe it's like a special section of the tripe and from each cow they can cut just this small piece of the tripe it's like the most fatty delicious piece of the cow's stomach to me it seems like a pretty good deal actually I think this is a great deal it's huge I start with this beautiful amber tendon fatty it's thick it's been boiling for eternities let's go for chewy it's one of those things that I grew up feeling it like it was a little weird and it's just one of my favorite things now
when I get noodles is that juicy fatty sticky crazy tendon maybe we should try some of this product mmm I could go run a 5k and then drink a glass of that we try some of this Troy it's a big cut of tripe right there I might even have to bite it in half let's go for it now Oh lots of flavor it is like a sponge for that broth those are some good organs yeah he was quite proud of the tripe I think we'll work our way up to this big bone-in shank well we got this meat here that one is also the shank beautiful swirls of tendon in here oh there's actually noodles down here - these are slippery little suckers I'm like trying to pick it up okay make it even feel better my skills alright alright that is some good chewy noodles it's more thin than the last place yeah incredibly chewy they're soaking up the broth beautifully to eat this last bit I'm just gonna grab it like an actual chicken drumstick look at that oh oh my gosh whoa oh my gosh it's just all coming up Cheers
Wow mm-hmm that's the best one here all the best things at one Bowl it's just like a meat buffet and it happens to be on this bowl of noodles the noodles we had this morning we're already terrific here they just like piled on even more what else could they possibly do to scale up a bowl of beef noodles more than this well we're gonna find out at our next destination where they are charging three hundred forty dollars for a bowl of noodles ten times this price will it be ten times the noodles let's find out before leaving this life-changing noodle joint I had to thank the chef personally and ask him one burning question if there was the perfect bowl of beef noodle how much would you be willing to pay for that he a 100 and 200 us for the perfect Apoc Wow okay so an award-winning chef says he pay one to two hundred dollars for the best bowl of noodles we found the price tag but now it's time to see if they're really the best we have arrived at our let's see why would it doesn't make sense
so I'm just walking up and you're there maybe you should walk up and I'm here oh maybe you should just walk away copy we have arrived at our last destination when you walk in here there's only four tables so every day they're making maybe twenty thirty at most forty bowls of noodles let's go in and learn a little bit more actually this is it it's a one shooter they have eight different options the base price is 500 MT number is what we're getting today presidential beef noodle soup for 10,000 MT the gentlemen running the restaurant now his father started this establishment he came upon beef noodles he took it over and so he's running it now but they have one location they have four tables to me that kind of says they're really focused on just making the best we're gonna get two of these two presidential noodles right now we are in the kitchen of new Baba and I'm with the chef Erik
how did this noodle start the recipe is from a customer over years 15 years of trying different things you saw finally what people liked the most yes and that's what you still are serving now today okay why don't you want to expand why don't you want more tables and we won't just focus on our beef maybe one day if we cook just 20 to 40 we can very focus and we're gonna do the best and you're gonna show me how it's made it right now let's do it Apsara is the top layer and this bra is button light broth is a rich broth when they're gonna assemble it now like what he's working on it's just gonna take a few minutes to put it together but if he was making this from scratch it's gonna take like a week from beginning to end Hey the broth is okay and the noodles are already proportioned ooh so we're blanching the noodles getting those all nice two minutes has elapsed
we're taking it out of the noodle net and then we're in the beef center here and mr. Wagyu beef short ribs and the one is prime showed ribs special she's health tendon and a healthy these are beautiful like perfectly cut they look like little pieces of art and then in with the light brach yeah and then the Rays draw this rich broth there which smells so fatty and media it's making me forget about the two other bowls of noodles I had today that's it that's a that's alright it's anything waiter hello thank you sir Table one okay one to go one I'll make sure he gets it hey guys thank you for sitting through act 1 and act 2 and we are finally here the most expensive bowl of noodles in the world and if I'm completely honest
when I first heard about this I was super skeptical and then I met the owner their focus for years and years has been how could you possibly make the absolute best I think we start with some of this meat we have to put this in there first we're going to dump all that in I'm gonna dump it all in all right okay we have these kind of perfectly cut time beef to our Australian Wagyu beef all right beefy bite of the day you got space in your stomach stance I am ready for this I always got space for beef it completely melts in your mouth you could chew this with your tongue it's smaller but the quality is outstanding we just ate one sixth of the beef that's like $25 it's a fine and crazy oh my each plant is like $25 [Music] I can't even keep my eyes open when I eat it I had to close him immediately you hadn't heard of this place before I haven't heard this place before I mean
I grew up on Tony Seco soup Wow this quality of this knee is so tender here they have this other cut that's kind of half tendon half beef and you can see they've actually cut it to create this kind of round shape there someone carving with scissors piece by piece to make this rounded shape let's go for what I really like is that we've been to three different places and they'll all have a different approach to their noodles and what stands out about the noodles here is they're a little thinner but they're not clumping at all Wow perfect beautiful it's just so simple it kind of surprises you again going along with the lines of my unique concept in this show would you say a meal like this is what wow that's a loop for me a huge privilege doing this with you today thank you so much check out DJ's channel she's doing tons of food reviews on her channel as well in Taiwan and elsewhere
