Biang Biang Noodles Xi An Famous Food (China Square Food Centre)

You probably be attracted by their Chinese name, as it contains of many strokes of characters in just one Chinese word; which you can’t even find it in on modern dictionaries.

Biang Biang Noodle is the type of Chinese noodle originating from Shanxi cuisine for it thick texture and the length of the noodle.

The 3 in 1 comes with tomato omelette, vegetable and meat in one bowl. So you get to mix them together with the noodle and enjoy.

Go with the set menu here to get one side dish, braised egg and drink.

Love the thick & chewy noodles drenched in tomato scrambled egg, super satisfying! The cucumber gave it a refreshing element

Went to Telok Ayer recently to try the Biang Biang noodles😋 This is the 3 in 1 bowl which consists of Tomato Egg, Pork Cubes and Sliced Cucumber ($8.50)😍 I would say that the noodles are quite chewy and is quite similar to banmian consistency, but wayyyy thicker😅 It's abit hard to grab a hold of it while eating but there is the umian option as well😇

Overall ratings for this would be an 8/10, because its quite yummy and the price point is quite affordable! Just need to take note of the CBD lunch crowd😅

Was pretty surprised that MOS Burger had since moved out of their former premises at 51 Telok Ayer Street — was going around the area for lunch whilst being back at the office on a weekday and found a “Biang Biang Noodles • Xi An Famous Food” taking over the same spot where MOS Burger was located. For those who find the name familiar, this is the same Biang Biang Noodles • Xi An Famous Food that has been operating within the Food Alley at Blk 190 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh for a while now. While their Toa Payoh space seems more like a mom-and-pop sort of eatery with an open-air seating area that is not air conditioned, the Telok Ayer location does seem to be a lot more presentable — possibly due to the fact that they have reused much of the furnishings and fittings left behind by the former tenant, whilst including some new paintings and decor to spruce up the space. The menu at Biang Biang Noodles • Xi An Famous Food at Telok Ayer mainly comprises of noodle dishes, though there is also a variety of cold dishes that seems good to share at the table. Value meals that include a choice of noodles, a side dish and a drink are also available — likely something that would appeal to the lunchtime office crowd.

Wanted to go for the Biang Biang Noodles initially but was really tempted by their Rougamou offerings instead that are listed in the “Shaanxi Specials” section of the menu instead. The Rougamou offerings here are translated into “Burger” in the menu here — Biang Biang Noodles • Xi An Famous Food does offer two different types of burgers here; one being the Braised Pork Belly Burger, and the other being the Cumin Burger. For the Cumin Burger, patrons can choose from either a chicken or pork rendition — we opted for the latter. Probably closer to a Chinese rendition of a pita bread that is sliced all the way through and stuffed with sliced meat in the middle rather than a burger, the Cumin Burger comes with a bread that is rather close to pita bread in terms of texture — something that is quite as crusty, though we did find it a little bit more on the drier side as compared to pita bread. In between, the cumin pork filling does feature chunky slices of pork— all of which being marinated with cumin thus carrying a hint of the said spice in terms of flavour. The meat also comes with quite a bit of oil that one would usually associate with Chinese dishes — this also helps to add some moisture to the entire “burger”, considering how we did find that the chunks of pork could be more tender as well.

Hadn’t tried their Biang Biang Noodles here yet, but we do find that the prices of the food at Biang Biang Noodles • Xi An Famous Food to be rather competitively priced to other establishments within the vicinity — the noodles are priced rather affordably from $6.80 to $11.80 ala-carte, while all the value meals that sees a choice of noodles being paired up with a side dish and drink are priced below $15. Whilst we had the Cumin Burger, the establishment does seem like a popular haunt for office folks during lunch for noodles despite its newness; the establishment was at its maximum capacity for the most part during our visit on a weekday lunch. Yet another establishment that is definitely worth considering to dine at in the Central Business District.
