It’s a cold late night and you’re starving. You don’t have much appetite and just want something warm and easy to swallow. So you walked into Núodle, a halal noodle restaurant specialising in Lanzhou Cuisine, and ordered their Sesame Paste Dry Noodles and Wang Lao Ji Herbal Tea.
There weren't any other customers left and food arrived quickly. You’re greeted with a huge bowl filled with colourful ingredients - carrots, coriander, sesame paste, chili paste, peanut flakes and preserved and fermented vegetables. The reds, greens and orange whet your appetite and you pick up the pair of chopsticks and mix the bowl of noodles. As you mix, you make sure that the thick paste is evenly coated on the noodles before taking your first bite.
The first bite – The noodles are springy and chewy. The sesame paste brings out the fragrance and the sliminess makes it easy to slurp. The chili paste adds a little surprise to the flavour that tingles the tongue. The crunchy vegetables are a mix of sweet, salty and sour; adding depth to the flavours. The noodle is very much similar to Sichuan’s dan dan noodle apart from not being a noodle soup. Everything blends well together and you take a second, third and fourth bite.
Sesame Paste Dry Noodles
You’re almost halfway through the bowl of noodles now. The spice starts to build up. You feel the tingling sensation on your tongue even more strongly, your mouth starts to salivate to reduce the spice. You can feel the spiciness in your stomach in the form of a warm tingle. You take a couple of sips of the cooling herbal tea to soothe the spiciness before finishing the rest of the bowl.
You finished everything and feel satisfied. The taste of the sesame paste noodles doesn’t linger. What’s left is the warm sensation in your tummy.
Núodle is definitely a place where you’ll visit again to get some comfort food when you don’t have much of an appetite on a cold day.
Fun fact: The drinks packaging is absolutely adorable. Instead of having plastic or paper cups, they have a ziplock bag where you can pour your drinks inside and carry it out if you can’t finish your drink.
