Nanjing's mainstream noodle products include old lo noodles and small boiled noodles. Nowadays, the meaning of skin belly noodles is close to the small boiled noodles that include skin belly in the side dishes, and at the same time, skin belly noodles are also the mainstream of small boiled noodles, which is almost synonymous with each other. This derivation flourished in the 80s and 90s, Qijia noodle restaurant is a symbolic existence, the small shop was born in 1963, at that time was founded but there are very few private noodle restaurants that have been handed down to this day, even if there is a lack of evidence, there are still many diners who believe that the owner is the founder of leather belly noodles, which shows its folk reputation.
When it comes to flavor, the Qi family is a stable production, and its strength is inferior to its fame. The store's skin belly is steamed and self-fried, and the taste is elastic and tough, or it may become the biggest highlight. The noodles follow the tradition, and the elasticity of the noodles is positive even if they are fully simmered, but the fly in the ointment is that there is sometimes a pinching phenomenon, which is really embarrassing. The color of the soup is light, the condiments are not rich, MSG has a great contribution to the sense of taste, you may wish to have more chili oil when ordering, according to the small boiled noodle preparation method, the chili oil will be cooked with the soup base, and the flavor is integrated.
There seem to be only more than 20 kinds of noodles in the small store, but the ingredients of the three fresh noodles can be selected and matched, which is quite flexible, and there are more categories than shown in the menu. Since the soup is not thick, the flavor of pork liver appears pure, so you may wish to pay attention to the pork liver noodles with skin belly when ordering. If you don't get used to the smell of pork liver, tomato is a good substitute, and the store has a classic style of tomato noodles with shredded pork and tomatoes, which is quite fresh in the slightly clear soup.
Qijia Noodle Restaurant is quite marketable, with only more than 10 seats in the store, and it is difficult to settle down during the main meal time. The level of service and hygiene is often criticized, the taste of Qijia needs to be taken by the customer himself, the store is equipped with stainless steel trays, which is still intimate, and the tableware is often drained with sporadic oil stains, and the dining experience is difficult to say comfortable.
