Xi'an Hongzhuan South Road is not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square. Compared with the bustling and crowded Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square, Hongzhuan South Road, which is two streets away, looks particularly clean and leisurely. It is often ignored by foreign tourists, but it is favored by local citizens and is an old street that citizens often come to. The streets are lined with restaurants of all sizes, many of which have been in place for many years. Among them, Luojia noodles have been open for more than ten years, and are famous for their unique spinach stick noodles.
The so-called spinach stick noodles are stick noodles made with spinach juice. Stick noodles are much tougher than ordinary hand-pulled noodles, and the core of the noodles is harder, making it difficult for people to bite off in one bite. As a side dish, the flavor of the chives is masked by the salty aroma of the meat. After blanching, the potatoes that are not fully ripe change from the soft texture of the usual dishes to become refreshing. Eating the noodles in a big gulp, in addition to the noodles in the mouth, the crispy potatoes and bean sprouts eased the hard texture of the stick noodles, saving a lot of points for this bowl of noodles. The fly in the ointment is that the oily spicy seeds of Luojia noodles are not ready-made hot oil noodles, but are made in advance for later use, which improves the efficiency of the meal, but there is no difference between cold oily spicy seeds and chili oil. The stick noodles are too hard, and the oily and spicy seeds are not ready-made, which is the main reason why Luo's noodles are difficult to beat Lao Yan's green vegetable noodles.
At present, there are five Luojiamian stores in Xi'an, of which the Hongzhuan Road store is the head office, and the rest are branches. The signboard of the Hongzhuan Road store is huge, only a little shorter than the door below, and the three big characters of "Luo Jia Noodles" are written by calligrapher Zhang Shan. Despite the large signage, the store is small enough to accommodate only six small tables. As soon as the restaurant arrived, it was very crowded, and business was booming, and the nearby neighbors and local regular customers blocked this small shop of only a dozen square meters. If you want to feel the lively atmosphere of the noodle restaurant, it is recommended to come to the main store on Hongzhuan Road. If you just want to try Luo's spinach stick noodles, you can go to the branch to taste it, and the taste of the branch is the same as the main store.
