Fangha Milk Tea - The Creator of Sweetened Milk Tea 🍜 Beef Noodles: The Culinary Soul of Lanzhou Mogouyan Beef Noodles is a local favorite, with a delicious broth and a spicy, yet refreshing flavor. It's recommended to go early for the first broth for the most intense flavor. When ordering noodles, remember to choose between thick and thin. Thin or three-thin noodles are best for first-timers. Ma'anjun Spicy Beef Noodles is famous for its unique chili sauce. You can add up to 10 tablespoons, but those who can't handle spicy food should start with two or three. The flavor is salty, perfect for those with a stronger palate. 🥩 Hard Dishes: The Essence of Northwestern Flavors Chuntai's hand-pulled lamb is incredibly tender and completely free of mutton. Paired with stir-fried lilies and Sanpaotai tea, it's a refreshing and refreshing treat. Their braised lamb and hot and sour shaved pork are also worth trying. Axia is a great place to sample Northwestern specialties. Stir-fried lamb and cordyceps flower with scallions are signature dishes. The lamb is melt-in-your-mouth tender and has a unique flavor. Hu's carrot and beef buns are a signature dish, with thin wrappers, generous fillings, and a juicy texture. Dipping them in chili and vinegar further enhances the bun's flavor. Snacks and Desserts: A Taste of Surprise Ma San Potato Chips are a childhood memory for many Lanzhou residents. The potato chips, bean curd sheets, and wide noodles with flowing juice are spicy and delicious, with a strong flavor profile, perfect for those who enjoy strong flavors. Zai Hui Shou is a great place to try a variety of Lanzhou snacks. The Gaodan stuffed skin, spicy three-pieces, mashed potato pies, and fried noodles are all classics and guaranteed to leave you wanting. Du Ji Sweets' gray beans and milk and egg fermented glutinous rice wine are traditional Lanzhou desserts. The gray beans are made by slowly simmering hemp peas for hours, resulting in a dense, sweet, and non-cloying bean paste. Lao Mou's yak yogurt has a unique flavor. We recommend trying the Ram yogurt or the Gesanghua yogurt with butter; they're richer and more mellow than regular yogurt. Fangha Sweet Embryo Milk Tea is a local Lanzhou innovation, combining traditional sweet embryos with milk tea. The large cup is incredibly delicious and a must-try in Lanzhou. 💎 Tips Beef noodles are best eaten in the morning or at noon; the flavor diminishes in the evening. When enjoying hand-pulled lamb, add garlic cloves for a more flavorful dish. There are several stalls selling milk and egg fermented glutinous rice wine at the Zhengning Road Night Market. Pick one that catches your eye; they're all delicious. Lanzhou's culinary scene is far more diverse than these, but these 11 are definitely must-try options for beginners.
