HanDian’s Classic Tomato Beef Noodles has emerged as a true standout among tens of thousands of global entries, earning a prestigious star rating at the renowned Great Taste Awards – often dubbed the Oscars of the food and drink industry. Its quality, nutrition, and irresistible flavour have not only delighted taste buds but also won the approval of one of the world’s most respected food accreditation bodies, making it arguably one of the finest beef noodles on the planet.
Held annually, the Great Taste Awards is one of the most esteemed and influential events in the global food and drink industry. Organised by the Guild of Fine Food in the UK, it attracts manufacturers from around the world, each vying for this ultimate mark of excellence. With over 10,000 entries each year, only a very small number receive the coveted star rating – a symbol of outstanding taste and quality. In 2025, HanDian, a proud Taiwanese food brand, was among the rare few to achieve this distinction, marking its Classic Tomato Beef Noodles as a globally recognised delicacy now available on the international market.
This award-winning product has a track record of success: it was crowned overall champion in the Creative Category at the International Beef Noodle Festival, is the only beef noodle selected for airport VIP lounges, and is now stocked in nearly 100 supermarkets across the UK – making it one of the most widely recognised Taiwanese noodle dishes in Britain. Developed by renowned creative chef Chef Chung Kun-Tzu, this dish reimagines traditional beef noodle soup with a modern, health-conscious twist. Featuring tomatoes as the star ingredient, the broth is slow-simmered for rich, layered flavour – tangy, slightly sweet, and deeply savoury, yet refreshingly light. Premium cuts of beef are stewed until tender in a flavourful bone broth, and paired with hand-cut knife-shaved noodles that are wonderfully chewy and springy. Ready in minutes, it tastes just like a bowl of freshly made noodles from a master chef.
In a short span of time, HanDian’s Classic Tomato Beef Noodles has secured listings in nearly 100 UK supermarkets, becoming a beloved mealtime favourite across the country. Even UK Minister for Exports Lord Offord shared his fond impressions after visiting HanDian’s Taiwan headquarters and sampling the authentic local cuisine, praising the unique flavours of traditional Taiwanese street food.
Notably, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, HanDian Taiwan and HanDian UK provided full meal support at the designated accommodation and food stopover for Taiwanese athletes. The menu featured a taste of home: beef noodles, Taiwanese sausages, braised minced pork rice (lu rou fan), fried crispy chicken, fried chicken fillet, xiao long bao, and sweet potato balls. The Classic Tomato Beef Noodles served not only as nourishing support for the athletes, but also carried the hopes and well-wishes of the Taiwanese people.
