In Chengdu, there are countless old restaurants with decades of history, and Qingyu Dawan Noodle is an old shop with a lot of customers. It has been standing here for more than 20 years, maintaining a consistent taste, and is one of the "old Chengdu flavors" loved by local diners.
It's not often that there are many noodle restaurants that change their dishes with the seasons, and Qingyu Big Bowl Noodles is one such one. Different types of noodles come with different side dishes in summer and winter, with green vegetables in winter and cowpeas in summer, which is also the origin of the restaurant's name. The reason for this is that seasonal vegetables will have a fresher taste. In summer, this bowl of noodles is made up of mixed pepper sauce and cowpeas, one red and one green, scattered on top of the noodles, which looks like you have a good appetite. After stirring well, the verdant cowpeas will also be hung with red oil, and the noodles will be eaten together, the noodles are slightly chewy, and the cowpeas are very crisp, which also makes the whole bowl of noodles taste up a notch. It's worth mentioning that the cowpeas here are not pickled like other shops, and they are slightly jerky, but they are also more refreshing. Diners who are afraid of spicy food can order a silk soup, although it lacks umami and is a little bland, but it is also a good helper for spicy food.
The dining environment of the green cow bowl noodles is no different from that of a common roadside restaurant. Its huge signboard only has the words "big bowl noodles" written on it, and when you go to the store to order, you will notice the difference between the summer and winter menus. The restaurant is spacious and bright, but regular diners prefer the location at the door, and the long wooden stool that usually sits on is used as a dining table, and a small bench is carried to sit on the street, which is a very wonderful dining experience.
The service in the store is lackluster, the more novel is the meal chop, it is very small, with short words such as "1 vegetarian" and "2 cow", in fact, "1 vegetarian" is a small portion of vegetarian pepper noodles, and "2 cow" is a medium portion of braised beef noodles.
