Before 2012, the "Lanzhou Beef Ramen" all over the country was not actually opened by Lanzhou people, but Qinghai Hualong people, and the taste was naturally very different from the orthodox Lanzhou beef noodles. Since then, Lanzhou people have gradually entered the foreign beef noodle market, among which the momentum of the Oriental Palace is the most rapid, only in 2014, the Oriental Palace in the form of direct franchise, opened nearly 100 stores in Beijing, and gradually knocked out other competitors, and is currently the overlord of the Beijing catering market.

Surprisingly, despite the localization of the soup and trimmings, the taste of the Oriental Palace is still authentic. The orthodox Lanzhou beef noodles must be mixed with puffy gray water, and after the processes of resting noodles, sliding noodles, slipping noodles, and making noodles, they are made into noodles, stretched and folded in half 3 to 7 times with both hands, and noodles of different shapes and thicknesses are pulled out, such as large width, leek leaves, two thin, capillary, etc. After cooking, pour the beef consommé, add beef, garlic sprouts, coriander, and oil to pour spicy seeds, and enjoy it in the form of noodle soup. The oil and spicy seeds are a must, but the red swagger is not choking at all, and the sesame seeds cooperate tacitly, but don't stir up the chili oil before eating, and drink a sip of soup is the right thing. There are starry beef grains floating in the dripping juice, and the chopsticks are soft and smooth but not rotten, full of fat and fragrant, and it is refreshing with a bite of white radish and noodles. The contents of the whole bowl of noodles are not rich, but both the protagonist and the supporting characters are impressive, and even the garlic sprouts and coriander can neutralize the salty and greasy taste. If meat lovers are not enough to enjoy, you can order a thinly sliced beef tendon meat, or add an egg to form a "meat and egg double fly" package, although the name is curious, but this is definitely the most nostalgic taste memory of Lanzhou people.

Interestingly, Dongfang Palace is not in a leading position in Lanzhou, but it is the first demonstration enterprise authorized by the Lanzhou government to use "Lanzhou Beef Ramen" as a trademark to open chain stores nationwide. Although Dongfang Palace claims that even if it is a franchise store, it is managed in a unified manner in terms of product quality control, staffing, technical processes, etc., there are still diners who respond that the products of the franchise store are still slightly uneven. If you miss a bowl of authentic Lanzhou beef noodles in Beijing, just find an Oriental Palace direct store to eat.
