Biang Biang Noodles Xi’an Famous Food Review: Biang Biang Noodles And Rou Jia Mo At Toa Payoh

Even the obscure entrance to Food Alley, which houses a stretch of food stalls including this stall, was a tad difficult to spot – it’s directly opposite the McDonald’s at HDB Center and a few steps away from HDB Hub. Nonetheless, we were all smiles when we reached the noodle joint, as polite staff greeted us with warm smiles and proceeded to usher us in.

Biang Biang Noodles And Rou Jia Mo At Toa Payoh | Biang Biang Noodles Xi’an Famous Food Food at Biang Biang Noodles Xi’an Famous Food Biang biang noodles derives its name from the loud noises the noodle dough makes, as it is being stretched by chefs slapping it against the kitchen countertop. Here at Biang Biang Noodles Xi’an Famous Food, the lady boss informed us that her noodles are hand-stretched, giving the noodles extra width in comparison to ordinary la mian.

We settled on food item No.14, which is none other than the stall’s special Biang Biang Noodles. We ordered one bowl of Biang Biang Noodles with pork at $6 , though you could also opt for no pork at a lower cost of $5.

The noodles were fully concealed beneath a blanket of toppings, comprising pork cubes, thinly-sliced cucumber, tomato with scrambled eggs, and chilli flakes. Other than that one tiny difficulty, I quite enjoyed the chewy texture of the noodles and marvelled at how flat and thin they were.

Served in a huge glass pot, the noodles came topped with potatoes and tender cuts of chicken. As I dug into the dish, I noticed peppercorns and green chilli pepper – components commonly found in ma la.

Thankfully, it was more xiao la than da la , and we didn’t need to drown our throats with water. I half-expected the texture of the noodles to be the same as the previous dish, but was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. Despite using the same biang biang noodles, the noodles here were firmer, as there was lesser gravy provided.

Those who have visited Xi’an would know that aside from biang biang noodles, rou jia mo (meat burger) is another famous dish there. We ordered two of that: Roasted Meat Burger ($3.50) and Cumin Pork Burger ($5) . The bun was nicely toasted and the shredded pork within was moist and flavorful.

However, it was the Cumin Pork Burger that blew me away. The meat was well-marinated in ground cumin and came together with slices of green chilli. Ambience at Biang Biang Noodles Xi’an Famous Food We went there during lunchtime and the stretch of stalls was packed with office staff.
