Yong Kang Street is a well-known place in Taipei with many established dining outlets.
There is a mix of traditional Taiwanese food, trendy cafes, popular dessert stores and boutiques.

After we arrived at Taipei, we proceeded to check into our minsu where we would be staying for 6 nights.

Yong Kang Street is very easy to reach. You could take the MRT to Dongmen station and it's a short walk away. Here's a great article describing some of the famous eateries.

We made a beeline for Yong Kang Beef Noodles 永康牛肉麵. It's a very famous place for beef noodles listed on almost all Taiwan guides. We were lucky not to get caught up in a long queue as it was a weekday.

The menu.

Some of the side dishes, notably the famous ribs with glutinous rice.

The highlight of our meal. Slightly spicy with generous servings of beef slices and tendons simmered to melt in your mouth. At TWD 280 a bowl, the portion is big enough for 2.
