In China I ate: Braised Beef Noodles (红烧牛肉面)

When a brand new mall opened in the district of Jimei where I went to school, my friends and I immediately went to visit and tried out one of the restaurants (everything was 50% off!). We eventually went to a place called Chengdu Snacks, which I guess would have food from Chengdu.

I ordered the braised beef noodles. On the menu it is called Hong Shao Niurou Mian (红烧牛肉面). I liked it, as I love spicy food. The broth was infused with dried red chili pepper, giving it a very blood-red color. Of course there was also beef and coriander leaves in the broth.

I went on a few websites and have read that this dish actually originated from Taiwan, but I am not sure. Whether it is from Chengdu or from Taiwan, it tasted darn good.
