状元楼(东大街店)

The old noodle shop in the ancient town has only three tables, but it is said to be hundreds of years old. Once you enter, it is full and you need to wait for a seat to eat. Try its representative double-cross noodles. After tasting it carefully, you will want to have another bowl.

Zhuangyuanlou is located in the ancient town of Nanxun. It has a very small storefront with three square tables. The double-cross noodles are made of crispy pork and smoked fish. The crispy pork is very tender and melts in your mouth. It tastes pretty good.

When it was time for dinner in the evening, on the recommendation of a local good friend, we came to the "Zhuangyuanlou" restaurant, which has an antique exterior and a unique name. It is also a very popular restaurant in the area.

Outside the scenic area, a place that is more like an ancient town! There is no commercialization at all! Everything remains the same! The lady boss has been running the noodle shop for decades! Most of the people who come here are locals! The noodle soup here is great! Delicious red soup! The noodles are fragrant, with the right amount of hardness! Rich toppings! The Su meat in the Shuangjiao noodles is very crispy, sweet, and the fat and lean meat are perfectly matched! Let’s talk about the fried fish, which is a big piece, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! A bowl of Shuangjiao noodles only costs 12 yuan! What a conscience!

The Zhuangyuanlou in the ancient town of Nanxun has a very high-end sounding sign, but in fact, it is just a small noodle restaurant that I heard has been in business for decades. Every day, many people come to Zhuangyuanlou to eat noodles, including tourists and local residents. Their double-topping noodles are very popular, with large chunks of smoked fish and pork belly, as well as generous portions of noodles, which are worth trying.

I had breakfast and lunch at Zhuangyuanlou. The Shuangjiao noodles were said to be fried fish with crispy meat, but in fact they were fried fish and braised meat noodles. The fried fish was quite sweet, and the braised meat was also crispy. I also ordered dried bamboo shoots and shredded pork noodles. The dried bamboo shoots were similar to water bamboo shoots, and the noodles were thin and hard, similar to Suzhou noodles. Two bowls of noodles cost 20 yuan, which is a good value for money. Many locals come to eat here.

The shop is in the ancient town, in the north area, where you can enter without a ticket. It is an old-style house with a big sign. There are four eight-person tables in the shop, which can seat 32 people. Haha, it is quite a lot. When I arrived at the shop in the morning, it was basically full. I ordered double-topped noodles. The toppings are fried fish and braised meat. The fried fish has a good texture and taste, not too sweet. The braised meat is a little greasy. The soup base of the noodles is also OK.
