This one is quite new and I've never been, but the picture shows the set-up in nearly all these noodle joints. There is a desk just inside the door on the left. Here you order and pay. You are then given a ticket which you present to the kitchen at the back. With a bit of luck, you will be given your noodles of choice, which you garnish to your satisfaction, then find a seat.The picture was taken in the mid-morning, after breakfast but before lunch. Hence the emptiness.

This is a very popular Guangzhou (Canton) style noodle emporium. Always busy. Not my favourite style of Chinese eating though.

This one has 老友分, or Old Friend's Noodles, a specialty of Nanning down the road. As with many Chinese dishes there is a story behind the name. In fact, there is usually a choice of different stories. But I’ve heard this story pretty consistently. It seems that some time ago there was a man who became sick and lost his appetite. His friends and doctors urged him to eat to keep up his strength to aid his recovery, but to no avail. Finally, one of his oldest friends, a chef, prepared him a bowl of noodles. As soon as he smelled the dish, he perked up, finished the lot and went on to make a full recovery. Or so they say.

This is one of the oldest noodle joints in town. It does many different preparations.

This is the most popular snail noodle place in the city centre. I took this picture at noon today. What you are seeing is the overspill from the restaurant. They only sell one dish.

Some places don't even have a restaurant as such. Real street food. I've eaten here - often. Delicious snail noodles.

 

Finally, for now, a couple of oddities.

This is a Japanese-style ramen shop. The owner is Chinese but lived in Japan for some time. Very friendly man. He usually gives me free beer when I visit. Again a popular place.

Tucked away in a side alley, making it difficult to photograph, is a Vietnam Rolled Noodle place. Also very good.
