Noodle Soup at Lanzhou Lamian Chinese Restaurant
In a world where the use of technology for mass production is on the rise, Lanzhou Lamian has opted for the traditional route. Only a few months old, this Chinese restaurant, sitting at the cross section of Plaine-Verte and China Town has already made a name for itself, thanks to its culinary gymnastics of hand-pulled noodle. Yes, you have read it right, their noodles are made by craftsmen who hand-stretch wheat flour dough, adding a fine touch of Chinese authenticity to their noodle-based dishes. If you are lucky enough, you might get to witness this process up close.
As much as we love all the menu options, we cannot stop raving about Lanzhou Lamian’s appetizing noodle soup which comes in three options: chicken, beef, and mutton. Consisting of a flavorful, clear broth, juicy meat, tender radish slices, lots of cilantro and scallion, deep red chili oil (optional), and chewy handmade noodles, it is simply delightful.
Next time you are in the mood for Chinese, do drop by Lanzhou Lamian on Ollier Street, Port Louis, on any day, from 10am to 9pm. A savory time is guaranteed.
So, what makes Lanzhou Lamian so special?
The aim of the three partners of Lanzhou Lamian is to bridge the African and Chinese culinary art, for a distinctive appeal to the palate. And if the warm welcoming nature of the partners is not enough to entice you, their vast array of menu options will most definitely tempt you. From your usual stir-fried noodles, to their signature Mutton Brochette marinated in Xinjiang style, the restaurant packs a punch. It is of no denial that Chinese food is on the spicier side, but good news for the spice intolerant customers, you can get most meals on the menu in non-spicy versions as well.
