In Tainan, beef soup is traditionally considered a breakfast affair, but Wenzhang serves it up at all hours of the day. I visited in the evening for dinner, and thoroughly enjoyed both the beef soup and the braised beef rice, the latter of which is something quite special as braised pork rice is more often seen.

Beef Soup

A popular snack in Tainan, beef soup is served up with fresh, thinly sliced beef in a simple, light broth. Unlike other types of soups, the beef is not frozen prior to serving. It's instead prepared from cows slaughtered the same day you eat it. Boiled with large cattle bones, the soup is cooked and then served with ground-pork or ground-beef rice. Because of the early morning preparation time with the cattle, most stores open very early, generally around five o'clock. Beef soup is also usually served with a little bit of ginger you can enjoy with each bite.
