The West Lake Noodle Restaurant in Puzhuang, Linhu Town, has been in business for more than 20 years, but there is very little information about it on the Internet, and its excellent reputation only relies on the word of mouth of diners, making it famous in Linhu Town, attracting a group of noodle idiots to drive dozens of kilometers to eat a bowl of noodles.

Although it is a small shop, the toppings of the West Lake Noodle Restaurant are no less than those of the big noodle restaurants in the city, and more than 10 kinds of toppings such as eel, large intestine, white-cut chicken, and shrimp are all fried on the same day, which is very fresh. Among them, eel noodles are the signature of West Lake Noodle Restaurant, which has a super high order rate. This bowl of noodles is served in a heavy blue and white porcelain bowl, and the toppings cover the whole body, and the portion is full. The shop chooses a round yellow eel so that each eel piece has a good thickness and looks very fat. Aside from the toppings, the noodles are not as messy as the back of a crucian carp, they are neatly aligned, and they are slightly inferior in appearance compared to the top of the list. The soup is soaked in the marinade of eel silk and reddened, and oil splashes appear on the surface. Sandwiched with chopsticks eel, it tastes tender and sweet, and has a rich taste. Due to the proper handling of the yellow eel, there is no fishy smell. The noodles at the West Lake Noodle Restaurant are all homemade small wide noodles, which are slightly thicker than the common thin noodles and much thinner than the wide noodles. The noodles are elastic and have a noticeable stretching sensation as they enter the mouth. It has plenty of juice and a firm noodle with a rich marinade and a very full texture.
