Best Tomato Beef?
I'm heading to this vegetarian "beef" noodle place everyone's raving about. Seriously, "beef" made of tomatoes? Sounds kinda weird, but the reviews are insane. I'm a pescatarian, so I'm curious...… more
That tomato "beef" in Taipei is… interesting. It's not going to fool a carnivore, that's for sure. Think more umami bomb than actual beef flavor. The texture is the biggest hurdle – it's definitely not beefy. But if you go in expecting a unique, surprisingly savory vegetarian dish, you might actually enjoy it. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but it’s a fun experience, especially if you’re already a pescatarian and open to adventurous flavors. Let us know what you think!

Look for pictures! Most places will have photos of their dishes on the menu, even if it's all in Chinese. That tomato beef should be pretty unmistakable. If you see anything that looks suspiciously meaty… steer clear. Alternatively, if they have a picture menu, point at the picture and say "zhe ge" (這個) – it means "this one." That should work. Failing that, download a translation app and point your phone's camera at the menu. Most will translate the text in the picture pretty well these days. Good luck with your legendary veggie beef!
