Whatโs so good ๐?
In the past, I have travelled to China ๐จ๐ณ for work, workshop, seminar to various cities - Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, DongGuan etc ... and had seen tremendous growth and their beautiful landscape building and more to come as China coming out stronger during pandemic time, its food & different cuisines have always allured me and I had also heard much of Chong Qing and rave about their city scape changing fast due to new latest building sprucing up from Raffles City and many extraordinary fengshui enabled buildings too ... ๐ฎ ๐คฉ
As I arrived to this hawker centre at Upper Boon Keng, just off city ... saw a short Q for this stall selling the authentic Chong Qing Xiao Mian (Noodles) and this young man ๐จ was featured in the documentary of โHawker Makan Kakisโ of Channel 8, probably 2 months ago ... has a very touching story of this man, his cancer stricken mum and his family. He had been studying in Singapore ๐ธ๐ฌ during his post University days and started work as an Engineer before turning himself to be a Hawker, likely a PR or even citizen by now ... ๐ฎ ๐คฉ โญ๏ธ ๐
I requested for his permission to take some photo shots of his stall/ kitchen and the many condiments that make up this fabulous delightful Mala infused fragrance spiced Beef Noodles ๐ ็่ๅฐ้ข ...
The X factors :
1. Homemade concocted sauces of at least 10 ingredients of condiment that made up his version of sauces; so flavourfully and tastefully blended well with the noodles ๐! See the bigger wok in the background, he does it on the spot some day of the week ... ๐ฎ ๐คฉ โญ๏ธ ๐
2. Itโs home made ๐ ๐ค noodles - finely pulled and cooked to perfection, QQ, smooth texture and absorbing the sauces very well ! โญ๏ธ
