About this deal
Having lived in China for 5 years, and being back in Europe now, I just have this craving for Chinese streetfood. I think some people might confuse this to mean large or regular size, but it’s actually asking you to choose la-pian or regular noodles. And though I have since cleaned said room, the little folded square of paper has disappeared, which means this will be the vaguest of vague entries.
There is this convention about restaurants serving good dim sum and the assumption is that if dim sum rocks then dinner will be appalling.And I love that they both use the cilanto chili sauce (at Noodle 101 you have to request it as a dipping side though).
I still stand by the view that London Chinese restaurants are mostly – for want of a better term – lousy. I keep hearing these hero stories of Toronto’s char siu rice from my cousins, London just doesn’t have quite the same depth or variety. Sadly, it wasn’t and to add insult to injury, the whole thing tasted rancid from the broth to the tendon.
A good example will also have a skilfully balanced fruity sweet sauce, where one can taste the sugar, but in which that tarty edge is taken away by salty soya and just a hint of pepper. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.
Marmolove combines the ancient processing of marble with contemporary composition, ideal for enhancing any environment. Since I started cooking it this way, Liang Pi becomes a regular treat in our Red House and I’m trying to make it part of the “snack memory” of my own children. Cook for around 2 minutes until you see bubbles appear and the noodle is not sticky when touched by hand. If you like hand pulled noodles, which are thick, wide-cut, chewier and doughier than regular noodles, then I definitely recommend getting them. For a sophisticated dining experience, position several Tatler Bar Stools around a modern breakfast bar.
The following day, spoon out the clear water that appears on top then steam the remaining paste little by little in shallow plates. To date, my favorite beef roll rendition has been the giant ones served at 101 Noodle Express (Irvine and LA). I’ve done this in Chinese restaurants around the world from Singapore, Hong Kong to Sydney (not Taipei I don’t think) and is something I inherited from my dad. Each Marmolove sculpture is made from natural marble which can vary in tone, impression and structure, therefore every oval tray will have its own individual finish.
