Big Nine, a medium-sized place on the corner of Ching Cheng and Hsiang Shang South roads, is currently one of the only eateries in town to sample authentic Vietnamese 'Pho', or rice noodles. The noodles come with a variety of ingredients, such as beef, bean sprouts and basil leaves, which should all be mixed in and allowed to cook a while in the broth. There is an illustrated menu to help non-Chinese-speakers to select and most noodles are around a very reasonable NT$100 to NT$120 per bowl. To round off the experience, there is the Vietnamese-style coffee--thick black java mixed with condensed milk for NT$80.
