The streets of Dongchin Market near Taikoo Li are home to many of Chengdu's online celebrity shops, including this Brain Flower Noodle. After more than three years of opening, it has already amassed a lot of popularity, and every time a diner goes to pull weeds, they will find that the restaurant is full.
Brain noodles are the most popular dish in the store. The restaurant is ingenious and serves it in a retro enamel bar, with millet peppers, chopped green onions, and coriander placed on top of the bar, and diners can add according to their preferences. The brain flower noodle soup is dark red, the noodles are completely submerged in the red oil noodle soup, the brain flower is half exposed, and the color is pink. The pig brain flower is the protagonist of this bowl of noodles, and the fresh brain flower is used, and the brain flower is cooked properly and has a delicate taste. In Sichuan, pork brain flower is a very popular ingredient, and locals like to use it in hot pot or wrapped in tin foil for barbecue. Regardless of the method, red oil is the best partner of Brain Flower, and its rich flavor can not only mask the fishy smell of Brain Flower, but also make the umami taste of Brain Flower more obvious. The noodle soup is delicious and fragrant, and the thin noodles used are smooth and soft and hard, but the spiciness of the noodles is slightly higher, so diners who have a low acceptance of spiciness.
There is no comfortable dining environment for brain flower noodles. Under the door with yellow letters on a black background is a small storefront, containing more than ten sets of tables and chairs, often full of diners, and even some people have to serve dishes and chopsticks to the table with stools, which looks a little embarrassed. Hygiene is not the strong point of this fly restaurant, the grease stains on the table often cannot be wiped off, and the used paper towels are scattered all over the place, but fortunately, Chengdu people who pursue delicious food do not care too much about this.
It's also difficult for such a popular shop to provide thoughtful service. Diners only communicate with the waiter at the time of ordering, and there is little communication after that.
