Just three short months after their initial outletās opening in VIIO@Balestier, famous Taiwanese beef noodle eatery Niu Dian Beef Noodles can now be found in Holland Village. This second store opens today, 22 May 2023, and will not only serve their namesake bowl of noodles but also a series of Singapore-exclusive beef rice bowls.
In case you missed it, Niu Dianās Balestier opening marked the brandās first foray out of Taiwan, 18 years after they first began as a small eatery in Ximending, Taiwan. Theyāve also been recognised by the Michelin guide, having earned themselves a Michelin Bib Gourmand listing for three consecutive years.
Taiwanese singer Show Luo, ē½åæē„„ (LuĆ³ ZhƬ XiĆ”ng), is Niu Dianās brand ambassador too, and he even flew to Singapore in February when they opened their Balestier joint!
For those of you who havenāt been here, go for Niu Dianās signature Combination Specialty Beef Noodles ($19.90++). Have this with your choice of a clear Original,Ā orĀ BraisedĀ broth.
Try the Original broth, which is said to be simmered for 24 hours with beef bones and short ribsāmore than 100kg of these only produce enough soup for 250 bowls! You can even customise the level of richness of this soup, choose to have no spring onions added, and decide how hard the noodles are.
This bowl comes with boneless rib cut, tendons, tripe, and golden coin.
Otherwise, check out Trio Specialty Beef Noodles ($18.90++), which comes without beef tripe.
If youāre opting for the Braised soup base, itās a lightly spicy ēŗ¢ē§ (hĆ³ng shÄo), beef-based broth.
You can up the spice quotient with their house-made chilli oil thatās fried with beef marrow oil and Sichuan peppers.
Besides the noodle dishes, youāll be able to choose from three Singapore-exclusive beef rice bowls: Combination Specialty Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($19.90++), Trio Specialty Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($19.90++), and Shredded Beef Pearl Rice Bowl ($15.90++), which are also sold at the Balestier store.
They feature the same braised beef as in the noodles and come in spicy, or non-spicy versions. The cherry on top of these rice bowls is the addition of silken scrambled eggs, drizzled with house-made pepper sauce.
