闲聊温哥华的台湾牛肉面
小河沟,2013-03-09
从道理上讲,台湾只有3.6万平方公里,还包括海拔两千公尺高的阿里山,跟加拿大的温哥华岛面积一样,却有近两千五百万人口,与加拿大人口规模相当,应该没有太多的地方养牛,养黄牛毕竟不是养猪,是需要草原和牧场的。后来听台湾老乡讲,台湾的黄牛肉大都是从北美或澳洲进口的,难怪便宜。
牛肉面成了台湾小吃的象征,确实有些出人意外。如果美国人不高兴了,台湾同胞岂不是没牛肉面吃了?提起台湾牛肉面,一下子就想起在北京吃的美国加州牛肉面大王,其实两者的做法几乎完全相同,味道也一样,只是名称不同。
笔者在列治文Aberdeen Centre 吃过“洪师傅台湾牛肉面”,其实就是"川味红烧牛肉面", 把兰州拉面配上成都红汤牛肉。热腾腾、香喷喷的腱子牛肉,饱满多汁、入口即化,配搭柔韧适度的面条与鲜美的红油汤头,大快朵颐,过瘾得很。
前两天,去温哥华granville街上“王记台湾牛肉面”,那是家经济实惠的小店,它端上来跟丽晶广场一样的手擀面。笔者感觉牛肉味道稍偏咸,以后还是点红烧牛肉面比较好。 卤牛肉卖相不好看,倒是红乎乎的红烧牛肉,让人食欲大增。
该店在granville街的繁华地带, 车水马龙,川流不息,面馆洁净清爽。可能是店铺地租贵,店主只收现金,好在左边是蒙特利尔银行,右边是加拿大帝国银行,食客取现金也方便。店主是个有心人,旁边有公共图书馆,便利点(Thrift Store)和蔬菜杂货店,逛完街,一碗热气腾腾的牛肉面端上来,绝对是超级享受。

The Taiwan beef noodles in Vancouver
Danny Li, 2013-03-09
Taiwan has only 36,000 square kilometres of land including the mountain with an elevation of 2,000 metres, the same acreage of Vancouver island, but there is a scale of ~2,500,000 population that is almost the same as the whole Canada population. There should not be land for large cattle-feeding industry, which needs much more land than pig - breeding. A Taiwan friend told me that the most of yellow cattle meat were imported from North America and Australia. No wonder that it's cheap in Taiwan.
In fact, it is surprised that the beef noodles become one of the symbols of Taiwan snack refreshments. And it tastes the same as the United States California beef noodles.
I have tried the "Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodle" in Aberdeen Centre of Richmond. Essentially it is the combination of Lanzhou Hand-Pulled Beef Noodle and red beef soup, the real SZECHWAN beef noodle. The steaming hot, delicious savoury special flavoured beef shank, replete and melt in the mouth, was brilliantly prepared and worth the trying.
I went to the "Wang's Taiwan Beef Noodle House" at the Granville street of Vancouver two days ago, it's a economic and luxury restaurant, the noodles tasted the same as the ones in the Crystal Mall in Burnaby. The beef tasted a little salty, the spicy beef might be better.
The restaurant lied on the busy part of Granville street, cash only, since it was between the Bank of Montreal and CIBC, the customers were very convenient to withdraw cash. there was a library, a salvation army thrift store, a grocery store. It was worth a visit once in a while.
