Trying a $321 Bowl of Soup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2019
- Beef noodle soup is a staple throughout Taiwan. You’ll pay around $6 for a bowl at most restaurants in Taipei. But you’ll fork over $321 for the elite beef noodle soup at Niu Ba Ba. Yes, $321. For. One. Bowl. Why so expensive? Well, for starters, it is made with high-quality wagyu beef. If it’s too pricey for you, there are options-a premium beef noodle soup that costs $160 a bowl and a classic version that goes for under $20. While the restaurant has fixed prices now, there was a time when customers could pay whatever they wanted for the soup. One diner chose to pay close to $1,000, which makes $321 sound like a bargain.

I had a $400 ramen in houston before. True story. I went to this ramen place near the downtown area and the ramen was really good. It was $15 and it was amazing. Then I go back to the place where I parked my car, only to find out it got towed because the sign that says I couldn't park there was covered by a tree. So I had to spend another $375 for my car

Wagyu is relatively expensive in every part of the world. Definitely the best experience if you can afford to eat it.
Wagyu is meaty gold
I can't afford to even look at it
@Memeorandum of Understanding it melts in your mouth, something similar but not buttery
It's overrated. No need to justify spending a completely overinflated price.
Nik Murphy except it’s not... the price you pay is for the quality of meat and all the labor involved.
Feels like such a waste of wagyu.
The way noodle soup is done, even the toughest of cuts of beef would get tenderized after prolonged cooking in the soup. So upgrading to wagyu feels like its an incremental improvement at best.
My thought exactly!
Yup could choose a lot of other cuts for the same experience if you boil for three days
They actually cook the wagyu seperately. It doesn't get boiled for three days. Saw it in another video of this same shop whereby the process was broken down more thoroughly. IIRC they actually use 5 different beef cuts and breed in the most expensive one. The bones and meat used for making the stock isn't served in the most expensive bowl, only the soup is used.
I doubt they are using steak.
@@angellover02171 so why do you think they cost 300 bucks?
Imagine paying like 16 bucks for a wagyu beef noodle soup
too much

$321 per person options:
1. a 12-course tasting menu meal with wine pairing from a Michelin starred restaurant
2. a bowl of beef noodle soup (note: noodles are not made fresh in-house)
5 courses at most, you wouldn't be able to have 12 courses.
The restaurant in Chinese literally means “cow daddy”

@@KarateLauren That language is Chinese.
Yea but the "cow" in this usage might be used as a compliment because in Chinese, you may call someone a cow as a compliment for example, 你真牛.
Nah beef daddy sounds more kinky
Can't believe someone would pay 900$ for a bowl I live in Taiwan and honestly every restaurant has their own distinctive taste yes beef noodle soup is the same Ingredients everywhere but every restaurant definitely has their own taste or recipe added so coming from me you can definitely find good beef noodle in Taiwan for cheaper price instead of spending 300$ but yeah I'm sure this restaurant has the ability to set their price that high since word of mouth of customers will say their beef noodles is one of the best so it all depends on you whether you got that cash to spend

$321 and the noodles aren't even made fresh in house? 😕
Whoopsy Daisy yeah crazy
@Halcyon Days Frozen meat and biggest manufacture noodles. So it is basically crap.
Can’t tell if this is satire.
well made noodles from a machine are far better than shitty noodles made by hand now you try and fit in a gigantic machine in your shop see how it works out for you. It’s better to leave it to the biggest manufacturer based on how they study the quality of said noodles not because it’s done by a manufacturer it means it’s automatically bad they’re specialist and don’t like to fuck around, just because you buy cheap noodles doesn’t mean they do factories have different segmenta for different markets.
Also regarding meat it all depends on how long it has been frozen I mean do you think refrigeration could bring A5 meat to the US alone? No freezing at all? Of course it’s ok to use freezing if you know what the fuck you’re doing.
I mean tbh if you have a doubt on a restaurant that became extremely famous to be featured in a video like this try it before you attack them.
ABEL you don’t need a gigantic machine, or a RUclips essay, to make handmade noodles. You’re welcome
You know it's fancy when even the chef cooking the soup is wearing a tux.
I think the best soup i ever eaten in my life was in Japan
I was there around December - January
On the sumo tournament.
And the restaurant across the stadium, would sell this soup, called sumo soup, was beef, ramen and some other stuff... But boy it was delicious.. And it felt nice eating while sitting 2 tables away from some of the sumo fighters
Was it called chanko-nabe? I'm going to assume it is
I work at a Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant and we sell A-5 Miyazaki for $105 at 14oz and that’s a lower quality than A-5 Wagyu. The pricing is reasonable and restaurants offer these “one-off” experiences to make their restaurants stand out; it’s not about the money, it’s about advertisement.

I feel like beef noodle soup is too common in Taiwan, (btw I live there)
I feel like people are underestimating this traditional dish. It doesnt have to have gold, kaviar, or truffle because the soup itself is so rich in flavor after cooking for 3 days. Such premium wagyu beef and recipe, what did you expect? It is a beef noodle soup after all. Even the prices aren’t by them, they are by the customers who bought it, they then averaged the prices of what the customers paid.
I don’t understand why are people putting so much hate on this traditional noodle soup. These people at the restaurant put so much effort into making one bowl of soup. I mean Those Japanese people just simply put the wagyu on a stove and cook it, rather here they let the flavors soak through for 3 whole days. (Not to be rude, the Japanese ones aren’t bad at all)
Stop saying this is a “waste of wagyu” and “props to the guy who spent $16”
*The customers chose the price, not the restaurant*

@@lordsaishu9157 I don’t get what ur saying about the ramen part
@@jaden8581 he’s comparing the quality and price of ramen and this beef noodle soup. Some of the best ramen can be sold for just 1usd and disnt need to sacrifice taste for a good price. Which could have been the case for this beef noodle soup. Simple ingredients which are cheap and can be afforded by the simple can taste just as good as this 321usd bowl of noodle soup without having to price it like that. There are many amazing foods around the world that have kept the price normal and cheap without needing to raise it to extortionate prices just because someone was willing to pay for it. By doing that, normal people can’t enjoy this creation anymore and either have to scrimp and save to taste this or never taste it at all. This beef noodle soup could have been enjoyed by the masses if they just kept the price lower. Lower price doesn’t mean lower quality and less effort put into it. It’s just a marketing scheme to get people to pay extortionate amounts of money for a very good bowl of beef noodle soup.
