I Bought Taiwan’s EXPENSIVEST Noodles!!

Taiwanese living in the UK here. My family used to run a beef noodle restaurant back in Banciao, I have to say it's normal for the owner to receive criticisms. The problem is that, beef noodle is still considered as street food in Taiwan, it's a bit more expensive than other noodles indeed, but still in affordable price. The owner is trying to turn beef noodle into fine dining (which is totally fine imo), but when you're selling it for 100x more expensive, people would expect it to be not just with high-end ingredients, but also 100x more tasty. Beef noodle is not something like Sushi, which the ingredient itself largely defines whether the food is tasty. To make beef noodle, it involves complicated procedures and ingredients. Using high-end ingredients doesn't necessary make it more tasty. How you braise it, how long you braise it, what sauce and spcie you put inside, those are the more important things. So you'd see the expensive beef noodles with high-end ingredients aren't necessary more tasty than the cheap ones, because it's about the skills and secret recipe the chef have, which don't necessary affect the price. I have been to the restaurant once, didn't order the most expensive one, but the $5000NTD one. Myself and some other reviews would say that, the ingredients are good indeed, and it's probably a bit more tasty than other beef noodles, but it's probably not worth 50x of the price. P.S. The $10k NTD beef noodle is the most expensive one, but there are also cheaper options in the restaurant, I remember the cheapest one is $500NTD. So even if you're not interested in the $10k NTD one, you can still go there to have a try.

Sonny really leaning into "The sovereign nation of Taiwan". Respect.

You're an inspiration, keep making awesome content.

don't know guys! Noodles are great! noodles are a staple for the avarage working class! noodles are student food! noodles were made to taste good and cost as cheap as possible because Noodles are cheap to prepare , you only need flour , water , and Broth to make Noodles! the rest depends on your Fantasy and whatever leftovers you have in your Fridge! but a $300 Noodles!!!!!!!

Love your unique style, never change!

As a Taiwanese and old fan, thank you so much Sonny❤️ We definitely a sovereign country🇹🇼

I am in Kuwait and $340 is 100KD, I can buy 2 full sheep cooked with rice or noodles with all side dishes and everything around., come to Kuwait, The most expensive Noodles will be around $60.

"standing his ground yet humble at the same time" I love this

Respect for the owner of the expensive restaurant, looks like a real humble guy that serves maximum quality. The oil on the soup tells you enough about the beef quality.

Props to Sonny for speaking the truth about the sovereign nation of Taiwan.

Minnesota state fair is another month! New food! Deep fried ranch!

Lunchtime in the uk when this is uploaded. Sadism 😭

I always watch these vids when im hungry and idk why.

The hate for noodles probably comes from John Cena.

Good video Sonny! Love to visit Taiwan! This noodles video made me run to kitchen and cook $5 instant noodles! 😀

Flat wide rice noodles ALWAYS hit! The bouncy chewy texture for me is too yummy for words! No matter the dish, count me in 😋😋

Love your videos. Will visit the 3rd noodle restaurant very soon!
