Fang Lao Da (Shangcheng)

Bib Gourmand • Noodles. Born into a family of chefs, the young owner started as an apprentice and worked his way up. Exacting about his noodles, he has them tailor-made to the required texture. All the Hangzhou-style noodle dishes are made to order, featuring various toppings and sauces. His original recipe, noodles tossed in scrambled egg with a tangy sweet tomato sauce, stands out from typical pork sauces. The shrimp, eel and tomato sauce version is equally good.
