Not sure if it's the same as the one you describe, as the soup wasn't as thick and it was red in colour. Otherwise, I'm firing blanks.<br /><br />PS: Having read your <a href="http://susaneatslondon.com/2011/11/22/dining-in-seattle-king-noodle/" rel="nofollow">post</a> on the noodles in Seattle, I'm envious!Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-35900068062602366052011-11-28T08:50:25.994+00:002011-11-28T08:50:25.994+00:00I've had szechuan beef noodles that were in a ...I've had szechuan beef noodles that were in a deep, rich, dark brown sauce-like soup. Spicy and intensely beefy. That was in Seattle, in a restaurant called the Szechuan noodle bowl, and I've been looking for a similar beefy Szechuan noodle soup in London without success. (I have been to Ba Shan.) Any recs? Also, thanks for elaborating the meaning of QQ -- I ordered QQ noodles because I didn't know what it meant and now, looking back, I remember I was pleased with the texture of the noodles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-80986147229111654412011-11-12T10:48:25.638+00:002011-11-12T10:48:25.638+00:00Shu Han - Not sure what noodle you mean?

Thank you for the noodle tips for both China and New York.<br /><br />Gworm - QQ describes the springy or bouncy texture upon biting into food e.g. good fishballs should be QQ, as should certain types of Chinese noodles. I think the term originates from Hokkien/Taiwanese, but it has crept into common usage amongst other Chinese dialects.Mr Noodleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327242172810414292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-22488841352388800852011-11-08T19:12:04.074+00:002011-11-08T19:12:04.074+00:00I had no idea of the origin of beef noodle soup - ...I had no idea of the origin of beef noodle soup - it's interesting to find that out. I wonder if a lot of Chinese dishes have moved in their history, particularly given the upheavals of the last hundred years or so. <br /><br />The noodle soup sounds very good, can I just ask, what is "QQ"? I've read it before and nodded sagely, but with no idea of what it actually means. <br /><br />I think Brixton Village is rapidly making this little corner of south London a real foodie destination for me.The Grubwormhttp://www.thegrubworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-83708153937980020382011-11-08T16:20:06.343+00:002011-11-08T16:20:06.343+00:00You are right that very few people know of the Mus...You are right that very few people know of the Muslim origin of the beef noodle soup. If you are ever in China you should try the Lan Zhou La Mian. Very tasty and only 5rmb. In Flushing, New York, there is a branch as well.
