This August, the Golden Dragon offers a special dining experience for the noodle connoisseur – an opportunity to savour authentic Chinese Noodles infused with traditional flavours.

Noodles are an essential ingredient and staple in Chinese cuisine. There is a great variety of Chinese noodles, which vary according to their region of production, ingredients, shape or width, and manner of preparation.

The most basic way to divide Chinese noodles is by flour: rice noodles are called fen, while wheat noodles are mian. In the Chinese culinary canon, each has its own distinct effect of chewiness, crunchiness or springiness. There are also two basic ways of cooking noodles: stir-fried in a wok, or plunged into soup. Noodle soup is a standard lunch or anytime snack for the Chinese, always customised to taste with the condiments: dried-chilli oil, soy sauce, pickled greens, and even fried eggs, wontons or dumplings for a more substantial meal.

Master Chef Bai Ping presents, eight varieties of noodles depicting almost each famous region of China. Among the choices are Dan Dan Noodles with Chicken and Ya Chai, Sichuan style noodle salad – a mixture of glass noodles and shredded cucumber and papaya, Chinese chicken noodle soup and sea food Chow Mein. Many of the noodle dishes on the menu are described as “spicy and tingly,” Master Chef’s translation of “ma la,” a term that embraces the heat of chillies and the numbing quality of Sichuan peppers is a combination that the Lankan palate is increasingly drawn to.

Visit Golden Dragon this August and indulge your taste buds as you discover the nuances and variety of authentic Chinese noodles. Let the master’s hand craft you, an unforgettable dining experience.
