Didn't know what to expect how this dish would taste like, still wasn't sure what it really was after having it. Haha. As usual the service staff at Birds was impeccable and suggested I should try this and can request to raise the spiciness of the udon. I said "Sure!", not knowing what to expect. It turn out it wasn't the typical Sze Chuan spiciness; and it is a dried serving of udon, which is a good change from the Spicy Oriental Bolognese that I would order by default without fail. I did find out subsequently that Tian Shui actually refers to 甜水, literally sweet sauce! Shitake tempura works well in this dish along with the spiced ajitsuke tamago.
