Usually a long queue to dine here - lunch or dinner. The Sichuan tan-tan noodle soup was nice and spicy. The noodles tasted like they were made on the premises! The broth was fairly well-balanced and without the (usual?) pickles. However, it was also without much in the way of chopped peanuts or much meat (as tan-tan mean usually has). A very bold flavour, indeed. Especially so since I have been out of practice in terms of consuming spicy foods. Still very enjoyable. That is where the ShanDong
The Sichuan tan-tan noodle soup was nice and spicy. The noodles tasted like they were made on the premises! The broth was fairly well-balanced and without the (usual?) pickles. However, it was also without much in the way of chopped peanuts or much meat (as tan-tan mean usually has). A very bold flavour, indeed. Especially so since I have been out of practice in terms of consuming spicy foods. Still very enjoyable. That is where the ShanDong pancakes came in. They are a great way to diffuse some the of the spiciness. They were flavourfull and not too oily. They come pre-shreded, but still some work to separate most of the pieces. But the taste is worth it. I tend to dip them within the soup for a more complex combination of flavour. (Oil and bread become tiresome to the palette too quickly).
Other Info. :
Really spicy! (But enjoyable). So decided to have a custard pun in order to 'put the fire in my stomach out'.
Service was a bit wanting: Took about 9 minutes before I hailed them for a menu. Took quite a while for each step (order, receive food, and receive the bill); likely because they were busy as always.
