Revisiting Liu Lang Mian Noodle Bar (流浪面)

Liu Lang Mian Noodle Bar (流浪面), dan dan mian

Recent special of the month was their dan dian mian (担担面). While it looked pretty much like any of their other dry noodles, one could taste some heat and the sesame sauce in it. What helped cut through the richness were the onions, pickles and vinegar on the side which made it much easier to inhale with some sparing application. Not the classic Chinese variety but it's pretty good. Cashews too.

Liu Lang Mian Noodle Bar (流浪面), dbj chicken mazesoba

Like their DBJ chicken mazesoba too. If anyone was wondering, DBJ = dou ban jiang. 豆瓣酱. A spicy fermented bean paste which along with the minced chicken made this bowl. Noticeably less rich with a more pronounced fermented bean profile compared to the dan dan mian

Liu Lang Mian Noodle Bar (流浪面), pork and chives wanton

Pork and chives wanton looked like 红油抄手 and even tasted like it with the chilli and vinegar. Stuffings tasted similar to guo tie of pork and chives. Not bad.
