As nosotros expounded upon our novel dear for youpo mian, Laura Jean McKay suggested that nosotros laissez passer on Melbourne's Xi'an Famous a go. This mini-chain has outlets inward the CBD, Carlton as well as Caulfield, as well as nosotros figured the CBD 1 would hold upward a convenient dinner halt earlier settling inward for a MIFF movie.
Online reviews warned us that this isn't a house for vegetarians, but nosotros noticed a solid selection or 2 inward each department of the menu: hot as well as mutual coldness rice or wheat noodles amongst chilli or sesame; a vegetable or egg burger; footling fried pancakes as well as pies; vegetable dumplings; as well as mutual coldness dishes similar chilli crude edible bean curd as well as shredded potato.
But nosotros were hither to exam out the large bowls of noodles! Ensuring nosotros had some variation on the youpo mian, I ordered the love apple tree as well as egg noodle ($12.80). It was enormous, amongst a real mild as well as almost milky broth, enough of love apple tree as well as egg fragments floating through, as well as a large submerged majority of noodles (the same every bit the ones below). The overall consequence was a flake bland as well as soupy, as well as yet again I was jealous of Michael's superior order!
He had, of course, the youpo mian - called spicy hot crude seared mitt ripped noodles ($12.80) inward English linguistic communication on the menu. The garlic-chilli dressing was just what nosotros fondly recalled from our couplet of bowls inward China. I was over again tentative well-nigh the chilli intensity, but it was good inside my tolerance. The noodles, though, were a flake of a let-down: far from the broad apartment belts nosotros loved, these were to a greater extent than thick as well as slender as well as thus, much chewier.
This eating theatre has a casual, help-yourself style; the staff confirmed amongst us what was vegetarian as well as were quick to plough roughly the food. While this wasn't quite the youpo mian we're yearning for, I'd gladly supply to social club it (and perhaps some of the other fried things!) again.
