Do Do Do beef 东甲肥仔牛腩面 is one of those famous must-try restaurants for foodies.

Do Do Do offers a lot more than just good beef noodles – they serve beef in a variety of other interesting ways, namely, clear beef soup, claypot beef, stir fried beef in red rice wine, and even steamed beef.

Their claypot beef is similar to soupy herbal bak kut teh - the difference is beef is used here instead of pork, of course. The potpourri of beef belly, brisket, tripe, tendon, and fried bean curd skin were still churning under the fiercely bubbling broth when the claypot arrived at our table. The syrupy smooth soup had a delicate herbal fragrance and none of that beefy gamey smell. The soup was not overly salty nor oily and was highly drinkable 😋  We emptied our claypot of the last drop of soup.

The delicious large chunks of beef and tendons were smooth and tender – nothing gets annoyingly caught between the teeth 😁  It has that subtle herbal taste and flavour, and was naturally sweet, subtly milky - without that characteristic beef smell.

The steamed beef was really special – I have not eaten this anywhere else. The beef was thinly sliced. The paper thin tender beef literally melts in your mouth and it has a unique smoky milky taste and feel. As this dish uses only a special cut of beef, it requires pre-ordering by phone.

Try Do Do Do if you have not before, this is a beef restaurant like no other. As for me, I have to be back for that famous red wine stir fried beef 😄, and that photo of the shop front which I forgot to take as it was raining 😄 (Update: In the end I never got a photo of the old shop as Do Do Do moved before I came back.)
