Looking beyond their obvious signature items, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Tongue Tip Lanzhou Beef Noodles’ Dry Chicken Noodles ($8.90+). Exceeding my initial expectations, it is something I would definitely order again at my next visit. Not just an alternative for those who don’t fancy or can’t consume beef, the grilled chicken fillets were nicely browned with a tantalising hint of char flavour. Sure, the meat might not seem like much but it was both tender and slightly crisp along the edges. Additionally, the noodles which came in 8 different styles ranging from thin, thick, flat and even triangle was prepared perfectly with a nice bite. Toss everything with the sweet-savoury sauce sitting below and you got yourself a really competent bowl of noodles.

Note: the Dry Chicken Noodles are usually not served with soup, given that their broth is beef-based but can be requested.
