2013 Chinese New Year Dinner – A glimpse of Chinese food culture

This Chinese New Year, she put together an awesome menu, making 7 out of the 8 dishes we had. Not only did my mom cook, she also creatively named each dish. If you can read Chinese, this post will be a treat for you.

Legendary Noodle House

With two locations in the city, the Legendary Noodle House serves up big dishes of tasty Northern Chinese style hand-made noodles. We visited the Denman store; and as with all shops on Denman, it was a little crowded. The decorations are fitting of the place, maybe they are trying a little too hard on the “Chineseness” of it, but I could see its appeal to the general public. The kitchen is a semi-open style, which is great because you get to see the chef prepare your noodles made-to-order. It’s quite an art form; it takes a lot of pulling, slamming, and kneading to produce a fine firmness (think al dente pasta but better). Overall it reminded me of the street-side noodle joints in Tianjin.
