The recent rainy weather made this hot bowl of noodle soup very appealing amidst the crazy variety of food offered here.
What intrigued me most was the choice of 刀削面（literally translated as Knife-shaved noodles) but those were unfortunately too soft for my liking. You can definitely see it is homemade though, with the uneven sizes and lengths of the noodles, which I found interesting. Soup-wise, it reminded me of a very, very mild version of mala xiang guo, with the appearance of peanuts, pickles and the standard greens of coriander and spring onions. It wasn't spicy at all, and I detected a hint of mutton taste (the stall is famous for their mutton offerings after all). I did enjoy the very tender chunks of beef, as well as the really soft tendon pieces which literally melted in my mouth.
Overall, I say give this bowl of noodles a miss and go for their interesting sides instead. Their tripe, as was very well done- not too chewy and flavourful, as was the pig's ear (good crunch) though their woodear mushrooms weren't quite as nice. If not for my noodles, I would definitely have chosen their mantou or 花卷 steaming in the huge basket at the back for my choice of carbs to pair the sides!
