Zhuoji Mifen (Zhuoji Rice Noodles)

Surrounded by luxurious wedding dress shooting shops, small Zhuoji Mifen is easy to miss, but that would be a mistake. Specialties are round rice noodles prepared in a variety of ways, such dressed in cold sauce, in soup (beef or chicken ) and fried, for RMB 7. The Chicken soup rice noodles are especially recommended, even though the chicken is sometimes a little overcooked. Diners who love spicy food better double their maximum chili dose as the chili here is far from being hot despite waiting staff's kind warnings.
