The "Noodle Story"
As promised, today I'm going to blog about this "noodle story". Its called the Cross - Bridge Rice Noodles (Guo Qiao Mee Sian). I'm not very good at translating the story into words.. BUT I'll try my best. This short story goes...
There was once this scholar who isolate himself into a house not far off from his home, preping himself for the upcoming Imperial Examinations. His wife will without fail, deliever the food she prepared for her husband... Whenever she brings the food over to him, she would have to cross a bridge in order to reach her husband's studying hut. Because the bridge is built across the river, the cold and strong wind will make the food cold by the time she cross the bridge, reaching her husband's hut. Of course, her husband was unhappy as he was studying hard, but still had to eat the "cold food" his wife prepared...
At last, the wife thought of a solution to solve this problem... She just prepare all the raw meat, eggs, vegetables, noodles..etc.. all raw and placed them one side. She then boiled the soup and pour it into a bowl... the secret lies here... she added a thin layer of oil on top of the soup to trapped the heat from escaping. She try again...
This time round when she reached the studying hut, the soup was still boiling hot! It was so hot that when she instantly pour all the noodles and ingredients into the soup and stir it, all the raw food is cooked! The noodles are not "fat"...the ingredients are fresh!
Of course, the husband is happy... haha...
Now the next question, which you all might asked... (at least my Brother-In-Law asked that..)
Did the husband top the Imperial Examinations anot... hahaha....
Come on guys! The story is not about the Imperial Exams right??!! Its about the love and support his wife had shown and showered upon her husband! haha
This is the address to the Cross Bridge Rice Noodles Resturant. Its not too expensive. Its pretty affordable. If you go to Beijing, pls make a trip down and try it!
There are a total of 5 different noodles set... the 4 is stated in the above pic. the 5th set is on pic 1... the Xiu Cai Cross Bridge Rice Noodles.
This are all the ingredents to be added into the hot bowl of soup!
The end result! It is so big a bowl that i can't even finish it! The soup is hot and frangrance (Zhen de hen Qing Xiang..) ingredients are fresh... One Singlish to describe it - SHIOK!
Beware of the waiters serving you... If they accidentally spill or worst, drop the bowl of soup on you, you can jolly well log into : www.thatsit.com. Good luck to you man! haha...
Thats about it... I will do up the next movie review very very soon... Stay tuned!
