Founded in 1958 by Zhang Shun after his discharge from the military, he started the business in Taiwan both to support his family and to soothe his homesickness. He combined traditional skills with innovative methods to invent Taiwanese-style tomato beef noodles. For 60 years, the business has insisted on using freshly brewed beef bone broth, handmade noodles, and slow-cooking for 24 hours to extract the nutrients from beef bones and marrow, fully blending with the rich vitamin C and lycopene from tomatoes. This results in a unique, rich, and layered soup. Selected imported beef shank is cut into large pieces with alternating layers of meat and tendon, providing a tender, chewy texture that melts in the mouth. Handmade noodles made from natural wheat flour and eggs absorb the broth, offering a smooth and firm texture. The first-generation founder's invention of tomato beef noodles remains a popular item today. Combining Sichuan hometown flavors with Taiwanese style, the menu includes tomato, spicy, mala, and clear broth noodles, as well as various homemade side dishes like kimchi. Popular classics include steamed pork ribs and steamed intestines.
Founded over 30 years ago, Yongkang Knife-shaved Noodles is now operated by the second generation. Upholding the tradition of freshly made dough and knife-shaved noodles every day, the broth is simmered for over 10 hours. The beef noodles come in tomato and braised flavors, and adding the homemade beef chili oil enhances the taste. The special fried sauce noodles with their unique fried sauce and chewy noodles attract both foreign tourists and local students. The fried sauce noodles with Shanxi vinegar and garlic are so good that local customers keep coming back for more.
The delicious essence of Vietnamese Pho Bo lies in the time-consuming and flavorful broth and smooth rice noodles. For over 40 years, Thanh Ky has focused on refining its pho and broth, insisting on making "handmade rice noodles" daily from slow-ground fresh ingredients. The broth is made from a large amount of fresh beef leg bones and various fresh vegetables, simmered over low heat, similar to the French technique of reducing sauces. Paired with a variety of fresh herbs and tender, slow-cooked beef, the pho is rich in flavor and aroma. Thanh Ky's commitment to using fresh ingredients has made it a trusted name for Vietnamese pho on Yongkang Street.

The most important factor for plant growth without a soil medium is the balance of water and air. This Pafcal (soilless medium) developed by the Suntory Group after nearly ten years of research is a revolutionary invention, completely different from traditional soil. It can absorb water autonomously and evenly from bottom to top, maintaining a constant balance of water and air. Japanese patented Pafcal balances the ratio of air and water, providing a stable growth environment for plant roots. Balanced moisture, with each watering lasting about 7 days, eliminating the need for daily watering. The patented Pafcal evenly distributes water from top to bottom, preventing root rot. Formed in one piece without collapse, eliminating indoor green wall soil collapse and drainage clogging issues. The one-piece design is clean and easy to maintain. Stable plant growth, easy root development, and low maintenance. Inorganic and clean, free from pests and odors. Keeps the environment clean without water accumulation. No mosquito breeding. Half the weight of soil allows easy plant replacement according to seasons, large events, or store decor needs.
