Adam has finally tracked down the noodle shop they so dearly love. Let me tell you, getting there was an experience all its own. It is a whole in the wall down back allies behind a shopping center. Well worth the maze but I’m beginning to question my ability to get back unaccompanied.

Let me explain the process, all the possible vegetables and tofu choices are in baskets on a long counter. Each person is given a metal cup and wooden tongs. You then proceed to stuff as much as physically possible into the cup (some people have skill that is for sure!) and then hand it through a window to the cook. All your ingredients are then boiled in the house broth. Your ingredient choices are then returned to you steaming with added noodles and delicious broth. Last you add, chilies, garlic and vinegar to taste, yum yum hummmm.

     I must admit after tasting this soup I understand all the complaints and headaches trying to find it again! So worth the hassle that’s for sure. Adam asked around and finally found this place after the original was torn down to make room for nothing better than a dirt parking lot!!
 
This restaurant is owned by the brother but still uses the family secrets!
 
Even with it being so delicious you can never quite finish a bowl yourself.

 With portion sizes so huge here I’m still trying to figure out how everyone is skinny. And please let me dispel the lie that they eat only soy and vegetables and balanced healthy meals. Yes, true, they do eat an unbelievable about of veggies but somehow you missed the boat loads of grease it is all fried or boiled in. Oh and don’t get my start on the amount of MSG these people sprinkle on their food like salt!  So all those starving children in China we are suppose to be eating full dinners for in the States heck if all the left overs in China alone when to the poor here no one would go hungry. I must admit I most definitely feel guiltier here not finishing my food then I ever did in the States.
 
 
So noodles it is and plenty more before the year is out!
