Free Taiwanese Noodle Soup Day

Overview

In celebration of its grand opening, Taiwanese eatery SooZee23 has sorted out your lunch. On Friday, February 23, head to Westfield Sydney from 11am–2pm and you'll score yourself a piping hot bowl of the restaurant's signature braised beef noodle soup — for free.

The shop is brought to you by the team behind Chatime and is inspired by the popular Duan Chun Zhen beef noodle restaurant in Taiwan. It's claiming to have the 'most authentic' Taiwanese noodle soup in town, using a recipe passed down through three generations and originating on the streets of Taiwan in 1948.

As the name suggests, the recipe uses 23 herbs and spices in its stock, which takes eight hours to make. The broth is spooned over thin handmade noodles, then topped with succulent braised beef, bok choy and spring onions. Diners can select the classic version or spice it up with copious amounts of chilli. Other menu items include chicken karaage, gyoza and spicy beef fried rice, but these aren't included in the freebie.

The self-proclaimed authenticity is certainly a bold move, but then again the recipe does sound legit. Lucky for you, there's no limit to the number of bowls they're give away during that time frame, so head on in and judge for yourself.

SooZee23 is now open at Level 5, Westfield Sydney. Head along to the grand opening event on Friday, February 23 between 11am and 2pm for a free bowl of its signature braised beef noodle soup.
