Liu Tang Men Chuan Noodles (六樘门川面)

Today's meal is a Sichuan speciality known as dandan mian (担担面): noodles coated chili oil, minced meat, peanuts & a dash of green onions.

It's found in a popular Shanghainese shop known by many names: Liu Tang Men, Chuan Noodles & Liu Dao Men.

And is, as far as we're concerned, one of the best Sichuan noodle joint in Shanghai. 

If spicy noodles aren't your fancy, you can also try the Tibetan stone pot chicken soup, suantang fei niu mian (in picked mustard greens soup) & tianshui mian (chunky, chewy noodles topped with soya sauce, crushed peanuts & rock sugar). 

So long as you don't hate carbs, you should definitely give this a try!
