The Best Places in Bao'an & around

1. Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand

A noodle shop tucked down a winding lane, with the kind of plastic classroom chairs that suggest someone's grandmother is running things. The egg noodle soup comes in a clear kombu broth, veggie or clam, no fried toppings, no hot pot theatrics, just clean and simple in a way that draws long lunchtime queues. The Michelin Bib Gourmand is its only decoration. Noodle firmness is negotiable, which regulars have strong opinions about.

A Tainan institution that claims to have invented calamari rice noodle soup, which is exactly the kind of claim a third-generation family shop earns the right to make. The thick rice noodles are hand-made from brown rice for fragrance and bite, and the clear broth runs peppery, clean, and slightly sweet. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Small, air-conditioned, and packed on holidays, so arriving early is the move.
