There are thousands of fly restaurants in Chengdu with different styles, but the most capricious of them is this Shangchi noodle restaurant. Not only is it open until 2:30 p.m., but it is closed on weekends and holidays, but even then it is still crowded with diners, and its secret is neither a comfortable dining environment nor attentive service, but a bowl of noodles.

The dry-mixed pork noodles are the most attractive feature of Shangike Noodle Restaurant, and the store simply calls it "Ganhui". This bowl of noodles looks unremarkable, with fried pork slices with green peppers on top of white noodles and a pre-prepared base underneath the noodles. After stirring, the bowl of noodles has a different appearance: the whole bowl of noodles is shiny due to the addition of sesame sauce and lard in the base, and the fresh aroma of the meat and the fragrance of sesame seeds are intertwined and scattered. The noodles are served in your mouth with chopsticks, and they are smooth and firm, and the thick sauce and soup of the pork are spicy in your mouth. The menu is very simple, with noodles with different toppings such as back pot meat, vegetarian pepper mixed sauce, and cowpeas. In addition to the dry back, the double pepper beef noodles are a must-try for spicy lovers, with millet spicy and erjingtiao almost stealing the limelight from beef, and its full spicy flavor will make chili diners feel very excited.

Shangchi Noodle Restaurant has little environment and service to speak of. The humble KT board sign with the name and its 20-year-old history is labeled, and the area below is so small that diners have to pick up small benches and sit on the side of the road. On the counter at the door, there are neatly stacked noodle bowls with base ingredients and basins with spicy seeds, which look very eclectic. The owner and staff are very busy and do not have extra time to arrange customers, and in order to taste this bowl of noodles as soon as possible, diners still need to find a table and pick up.
