    About CupofTJ:
    Hi! I'm TJ Lee. In 2016 I sold everything and left my life in California to become a digital nomad - basically someone who is location independent. I started doing photography & videography gigs before moving into social media projects. The past few months have been the most challenging but rewarding experience.
    Along this journey, I began documenting my travels on TH-cam. My videos started to pick up and people started watching! I'm grateful today to have a community of kindhearted travelers and creative weirdos to share my work with.
    This channel is always evolving just like my life. I have a new home base in Taipei, Taiwan after almost two years of living on the road. At the end of day, this channel about adding adventures - big or small - into your life and being 100% authentically true to yourself in the process.
    Oh, and to eat good food whenever you can.
    Welcome to this channel, I'm so glad to have you here!

    @1:54 of the video, those are not fat. those are beef tendon. @6:23 that shop provide you a choice of adding in their speciality trade secret beef noodle grease by your self, and it changes the taste from light to heavily oily. a 2 in one deal when eating it. they moved their shop in 2019 to a near by building, I believe.

    here in NYC we have exactly that.. its a chinese noodle shop.. its been open for at least 20 years... its got the tendons, with beef stew, the soup makes the noodles and it has spicies and enough oil to consider it to be ok.. yes.. the price is not bad for a good bowl of noodles, its about $7, after a renovation to the place.. if you ever come back to NYC, message me - ill bring you there :) my treat.

    First thing you need to know about beef noodle soup in Taiwan is that you avoid the places with the long lines, I went with my uncle and drove me to one place, saw the line and then took me to another place .. and it was epic.. beef noodle, the reason it’s a Taiwanese national dish, is because it’s everywhere, it’s the ultimate filler if you’re hungry..
