Tongue Tip Beef Noodles 舌尖尖兰州牛肉面 (Chinatown Point)

This bowl of mala beef noodles is truly comfort food, the soup has flavour and it isn't laden with chilli oil. The slices of beef were tender too!

This halal Chinese Lanzhou style eatery is reowned for their delicious clear soup, made with an infusion of 15 herbs into water filled with beef bones, which is slow boiled for over 10 hours.
.
Their authentic beef noodles features: 一清 / 1st clear soup、二白 / 2nd white daikon radish、三红 / 3rd red chili oil、四绿 / 4th green spring onions、and 五黄 / 5th yellow hand-pulled wheat noodles, as well as 5-spice marinated beef shank and beef brisket cuts.
.
With satisfying tender chewy crisp textures and robust meaty vegetal sweet savoury salty spicy flavours, each bowl is pure comfort, great especially on cold days.

Did not have beef noodles in a long while, and I am glad to have my fix at tongue tip! The large bowl of signature beef noodles ($12.90) was definitely very satisfying. The broth was very comforting and so full of flavour I had to finish it. So glad for the huge selection of noodle types, as I can choose my favourite thicker noodles 😍

In another one of our visits to Tongue Tip, we decided that we should have a change and try out their dry noodles instead! In particular, the restaurant serves dry la mian with pieces of chicken, together with their signature chilli paste. We thought this would be a change from their soupy beef noodles and we ordered the large serving at $12.90++!

With the chilli paste, the la mian was great and tasty as well! The only thing to note is that you should be eating your noodles quickly after ordering because they have a tendency to become soggy and stick together afterward. For this reason, we prefer the noodles to be in soup, even as this is a refreshing change. Similarly, we advise you to have this dish in the restaurant, instead of having it as a takeaway.

The pieces of chicken were lightly grilled and went pretty well with the chilli as well, although it would be interesting to see how the dish would be like if the chicken pieces were breaded and deep-fried. The dry noodles also come with a pretty generous serving of the restaurant's signature beef soup and that is great because you do not miss out on something that Tongue Tip does pretty well!

This is one of my favourite Chinese beef noodles place in town! I usually get their signature noodles with soup and upsize the dish ($12.50). I often decide to order 二细 more often than not (see picture), as I preferred my noodles not being too thick. The noodles served here are floury and pretty firm, which I prefer over noodles that are too soft/soggy.

Do get their signature chilli paste and mix it into the soup, because it is not spicy at all and it makes the soup a lot more flavourful. For those who are wondering, the chilli paste does not have the numbing sensation in 麻辣 dishes, so the soup remains pretty drinkable even after mixing the paste in! The restaurant was also pretty generous with the beef, which have been cut into thin slices and are hence pretty easy to chew.

Come here early before the lunchtime crowd gathers, as the queue can get pretty long!

Order the mushroom with normal noodle ($8.90). Noodle was great, really chewy and good. Mushroom was well braised. Ambience of the place is nice and cosy (:
