四厂烩面(棉纺路店)

One thing you must eat when you come to the western suburbs of Zhengzhou is Sichang stewed noodles. This stewed noodle restaurant has a history of more than 20 years. I have never been here, but after eating here this time, I found that the price is really not cheap. A bowl of stewed noodles costs 16 yuan, and a cold dish costs 18 yuan. The price is really expensive. Their stewed noodles are different from other stewed noodles. It is a more traditional curry stewed noodles. It is okay to eat it once, but I can't stand it after eating it twice.

Laosichang stewed noodles are very authentic and affordable! Walking in an environment very close to where I lived in my childhood, it is very kind, very familiar, and can evoke memories of the past! The store is not big but very popular. Eating is about feelings and pursuing memories of the past!

I tried the famous Sichang stewed noodles. The sign is conspicuous and it was very popular just after 6 o'clock. I finally found a seat, but the street was already full. It costs 12 yuan a bowl. The portion is large and rich. The noodles are chewy. The curry-flavored soup is not common in Zhengzhou's stewed noodles. The soup is rich and fragrant. The dishes are also delicious. I couldn't get a place to eat another skewers. I will come again if I have the chance.

I've compiled a list of time-honored restaurants frequented by Zhengzhou locals. These establishments have been passed down through generations through word of mouth, offering authentic flavors and affordable prices. 🔶 Heji Huimian (Renmin Road Branch): This is one of Zhengzhou's "Three Old Ji" restaurants, with a history of over 70 years. Their signature mutton stewed noodles are made with a broth slowly simmered with mutton and mutton bones, resulting in a rich, white, and fragrant broth. The noodles are hand-stretched and chewy, and the bowl comes with side dishes like day lily, black fungus, and vermicelli noodles. For larger groups at lunchtime, you may need to share a table. 🔶 Sichang Curry Huimian: This is a classic flavor from the No. 4 National Cotton Mill in the western suburbs. The specialty is the mutton broth with curry, making the broth more appetizing and rich. The main side dish is shredded kelp. 🔶 Kyoto Lao Caiji (Erqi Square Branch): A century-old establishment. Their steamed dumplings are pleated, shaped like small crescents, with thin skin and generous fillings, and a juicy bite. Paired with a bowl of wontons, it's a classic way to enjoy it. 🔶Ge Ji Braised Pancake (Funiu Road): Also known as Zhengzhou's "Old Three Jis." Their signature jar pork braised pancakes, the shredded pancakes soak up the jar pork broth, leaving them soft, glutinous, and fragrant. Paired with a bowl of red bean porridge, they offer a refreshing and comforting dish. 🔶Fang Zhongshan Spicy Soup (Shunhe Road): A representative example of Zhengzhou's spicy hot soup, this restaurant boasts a thick, peppery broth and a rich topping (beef slices, tofu skin, and vermicelli noodles). The base of the mutton broth is palpable, and it's often served with beef dumplings or fried bread. 🔶Xiaoyao Town Liu Xiangwu Spicy Soup (Kangfu Middle Street): This restaurant has been around for 30 years. Their spicy hot soup is relatively mild, not too spicy, and leaves a warming feeling in your stomach. 🔶Lao Yilou Kaifeng Soup Dumplings (Jingsan Road): A long-established soup dumpling shop, their freshly made and steamed dumplings boast thin wrappers and generous broth. In addition to traditional fillings, there are also specialty options like nepeta filling. The fried jelly is topped with an egg for a richer flavor. 🔶 Tieji Mutton Soup: A well-established restaurant with a history of over a decade, the mutton soup is rich and mellow, with little mutton smell. Free refills are available, and it's very satisfying when paired with a pot cake. 🔶 Song Laosan Crispy Mutton Soup: The specialty is the original pork (steamed crispy pork), which is tender and tender, yet fatty yet not greasy. It can be enjoyed with sesame seed cakes or shredded bread. 🔶 Xilanxuan Restaurant: A century-old halal restaurant. Their specialties include hot and sour tripe, special lamb chops, and soup dumplings. The portions are generous, making them perfect for groups. 🔶 Xieyuxing: Specializing in Kaifeng cuisine, the barrel chicken is savory and chewy, and the beef soup with steamed buns is thick and tender. 🔶Gongren Road Fried Chicken: A 30-year-old fried chicken shop, they serve traditional fried chicken with crispy skin and flavorful chicken, a childhood favorite. Many of these time-honored shops are located in old alleys or residential areas. While the ambiance may be ordinary, the food is authentic and full of life. Many shops have lines during mealtimes, so try to avoid peak hours. We hope you'll experience Zhengzhou's culinary culture through these timeless flavors. #TrueFlavorfulSnacks #TryAuthenticOldBoutiques #ZhengzhouFood #FoodFlavorFestival #MyHometownSnackPick
