Ah Liang Noodle Restaurant is located on a corner of Gao Yin Street, the shop area is slightly larger than that of ordinary noodle restaurants, and there are several large round tables, which is related to the fact that Ah Liang not only sells noodles, but also sells some authentic Hangzhou dishes. The owner, Sun Qingliang, was originally a chef at Zhuangyuan Restaurant, but after working alone, he founded a noodle restaurant under his own name, which he has been until today.
Sun Qingliang's specialty is "double-sided yellow", this old-school Hangzhou fried noodles will be fried first and then fried, the front and back sides are golden but will not burn, the crunchy dough is poured with shredded meat, dried bean curd and Beijing onions, when eating, both hands are raised, a meal is a childhood memory of old Hangzhou. Although crunchy and delicious, the "double-sided yellow" with heavy oil and salt and dry taste is not popular with everyone, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Hangzhou.
Perhaps due to the chef's habits, Ara Noodle Restaurant's Shibichuan also has the characteristics of a dry mouth, and it is said that the soup is often completely absorbed by the noodles at the end of the soup, and it needs to be moistened with the help of soup. However, this method also allows the noodles to maintain the texture of stir-frying, with a rich flavor similar to that of fried noodles. Friends who like the half-soup method recommend choosing shrimp fried eel, the fishy smell of eel meat is completely removed, fried to be tender and crispy, with fresh shrimp and onions covered with plate noodles, the noodles are crisp and smooth, the soup is tight and thick, and it tastes salty and fragrant. The air conditioning in the restaurant is low, so you don't have to worry about sweating even if you eat a large bowl and a half of soup in the summer.
As mentioned at the beginning, Ah Liang Noodle Restaurant not only has a wide variety of noodles, basically covering mainstream styles, but also dozens of home-cooked dishes, which may not be very high, but it is better than stable standards and local characteristics. Ah Liang Noodle Restaurant is located near the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street Scenic Area, and the price of the dishes in the store is slightly higher than other noodle restaurants, but it is still within the acceptable range, and it is worth trying.
