Chowking’s line of noodle soups are going to get even better now that the restaurant made a tie-up with the Lao Dong chain of restaurants in Taipei. Lao Dong was established in 1950 by the father of award-winning Chef Liu Zheng Hsiung.

Besides beef noodle soup, Lao Dong is also renowned for their curry-based soups, tomato dishes, and Chinese desserts.

But after trying out Chow King’s chao fan today, I discovered that servings-wise nothing has changed and quality-wise, the fried rice tastes even better.
