I ordered chicken bao, Taiwanese intestine noodles, and Taiwanese sausage in a setting that felt like a Taiwanese night market, and finished every drop of the noodle soup. Verdict: a memorable full-course pick for a Seongsu date night. ![Photo introducing a visit for unusual Taiwanese food](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-01-i5jqg-900.webp) You know those days when, instead of the same familiar foods you eat every day, you suddenly crave something different and unusual?

I settled into a seat on one side of the restaurant and ordered through the kiosk at the table. ![Ordering through a table kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-07-36xsd-900.webp) ## Easy kiosk guidance for first-time Taiwanese dishes The kiosk had menu photos plus detailed explanations and tips for enjoying each dish, so even people trying Taiwanese food for the first time can order comfortably without feeling lost, haha. ![Kiosk with Taiwanese food ordering instructions](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-08-1jsby-900.webp) ![Kiosk displaying menu photos and guidance](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-09-1xvjy-900.webp) I was determined to work through all kinds of delicious Taiwanese dishes that day! I neatly finished ordering the signature chicken bao, the Taiwanese intestine noodles I was so curious about, and Taiwanese sausage, a great side, haha. ![Ordered chicken bao, intestine noodles, and Taiwanese sausage](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-10-1ipj2-900.webp) ## Taiwanese intestine noodles scooped up by the spoonful The dishes arrived one by one, all neatly presented and so appetizing they made my mouth water, haha. First, I tried the Taiwanese intestine noodles I had been dying to taste! I had unfortunately missed them during my trip to Taiwan, so I had always regretted it, hahaha. ![Taiwanese intestine noodles tasted for the first time](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-11-hfe9w-900.webp) They are such a famous representative Taiwanese dish that I had really wanted to try them. The kiosk instructions kindly said that, rather than lifting the noodles with chopsticks, you should scoop up the broth, intestines, and noodles together with a spoon, haha. ![Instructions for eating Taiwanese intestine noodles with a spoon](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-12-1vhb9-900.webp) I followed the instructions, took a deep spoonful, and had a bite... wow, I was genuinely shocked by how delicious it was! The chewy, nutty intestines had no off smell at all, and together with the deeply savory broth, it was amazing. ![Taiwanese intestine noodles with intestines and broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-13-1vlfj-900.webp) In the end, I could not stop spooning it up and scraped the bowl completely clean—not a single drop of broth left, hahaha. ![Taiwanese intestine noodles finished down to the broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-14-jyxpt-900.webp) ## Crispy yet juicy chicken bao Next came the chicken bao, like an adorable Taiwanese-style burger! A huge, thick piece of chicken was packed inside the soft bao bun, haha. I took a big bite and wow... the fried coating on the chicken was unbelievably crisp. The texture was a work of art, haha. ![Chicken bao with crispy fried chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-15-dsl02-900.webp) The outside was truly crisp, but the meat inside was so tender and juicy that I thought, “Can chicken really be this tender?” It was that soft and fresh! ![Chicken bao showing juicy chicken meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-16-1hfr4-900.webp) The nutty, fluffy bun, crisp yet tender chicken, and special sauce were an absolutely fantastic combination. I kept exclaiming over it the whole time, hahaha. ![Chicken bao with fluffy bread and special sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-17-7g8h6-900.webp) ## Taiwanese sausage that made me think of beer And finally, the Taiwanese sausage I ordered as a side! This Taiwanese sausage is seriously dangerous, haha. It was my very first time trying Taiwanese sausage, and the instant I bit into it, the juices burst out and a salty flavor with a gentle sweetness spread through my mouth. It was so delicious that I was honestly shocked, hahaha. ![Taiwanese sausage bursting with juices](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-18-lxjre-900.webp) It was such a perfect beer snack that I immediately thought I should order a cold can of Taiwanese beer! Slightly salty and totally addictive, I inhaled it and finished it in no time, hahaha. ![Salty Taiwanese sausage side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-19-5lje0-900.webp) Every dish had its own clear charm and was delicious, so even though I was almost bursting, I finished the meal happy and satisfied to the very end, haha. ![Finishing a meal of Taiwanese dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-20-1r392-1200.webp) For such high-quality, unusual Taiwanese food, the prices were reasonable too, so I felt like it delivered both great value and great flavor, haha. ![A Taiwanese meal enjoyed at great value](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-21-4snm3-900.webp) When I am tired of the usual Western or Korean food in Seongsu-dong and craving unusual, truly delicious international food, Bao Seoul is somewhere I 100% want to come back to! ![Full-course meal of chicken bao and intestine noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao/seongsu-taiwanese-noodle-chickenbao-22-1stm7-900.webp) If you are looking for a great Seongsu-dong restaurant or date course, do not hesitate—definitely visit and enjoy the full lineup of chicken bao, intestine noodles, and Taiwanese sausage.
