[One] Hand-pulled Noodles Chuntai Hand-pulled Noodles Hand-pulled mutton | Minimum order 1 jin (500g). Some pieces were surprisingly fatty and had a strong mutton flavor; I wonder if it was because we arrived late. Stir-fried veal (1 jin) beef + potato noodles, savory, slightly spicy, and cumin flavor. The slices weren't thick, and the noodles were soft and chewy, like rice noodles. Cold scallion salad | All ingredients tasted normal, refreshing and not greasy, a must-have for hand-pulled noodles. Overall, slightly below expectations; those with a lighter palate might find it a bit salty. Guofu Yipin I prefer this hand-pulled noodle place; it's the perfect hand-pulled noodle in my mind. [Two] Beef Noodles Zhang Youde Beef Noodles I rushed over before they closed at 3 pm. The thin noodles were chewy and delicious! The chili oil was incredibly fragrant. [Three] Steamed Buns Hu Jia Steamed Buns Carrot and beef buns | Minimum order 5. Very home-style flavor, the dough was well-risen. 100g with chili oil, a delicious bonus! Can be eaten with beef noodle soup for breakfast. [Good Job][Sob]
