In China, I've heard of the famous Lanzhou noodles 兰州拉面, but

at the supermarket today there were many types of noodles named after provinces and cities.... I've heard of Beijing duck 🦆 but I've never heard of Beijing noodles.... Are these really the famous noodles in these places, or is it just nonsense?

    yeah， they are very common noodles but these logo (or brand，name）are truly from Chinese provinces or places ，you can Google in Chinese like 山西刀削面，上海阳春面，河南手擀面，兰州拉面

    All the food is delicious only when it is cooked and eaten。these noodles also can be made delicious. But they are instant noodles! They have a long way compared with the noodles in Lanzhou!

    @Simon puth thank you for answering, so then why does everyone talk so much about Lanzhou noodles, but no one really talks about Fuzhou noodles or Henan noodles...? You see tons of Lanzhou noodle restaurants all throughout China, but why no Shanghai or Fuzhou noodle restaurants throughout China?

    @Kate Actually, the name with the locating information in the package makes sense since each of above posted is the typical type of local noodle. The problem is if you can tell the nuances as a outsider especially when the noodles were presented as standard products by manufacturers other than the delicacy made instantly by experienced cook.

    @mitchell because gansu and Qingdao province were poor. they creat Lanzhou noodles and many people from other China places love it so much，so it makes they rich to run restaurants throughout China. 😄i'm a university student in lanzhou.

    @Anna so there are actually Fuzhou noodles which are a specific style different from other noodles in China?

  • Anna 2021.02.08 00:03

    EN

    @mitchell They are famous too but their actual name is not that simple. They are different types presented well with their Chinese name not the simple English translation. We don’t have the question because we can tell by their Chinese name on their labels but you don’t.😜 Another reason, there are so many Lanzhou Lamian Restaurants all over the world and generally speaking they were commercialized and standardized earlier and people like them. But the rest of the noodles are still being the minority in the domestic, and even in the global market.

    They are different kinds of common noodles from different places,they are not as famous as 兰州拉面，and most of them don't have chain restaurants in China.But for me,whether noodles taste good or not depend on it's soup and ingredients,so most of them can be delicious too.

    @mitchell Well it’s common for a foreigner to be confused with so many subdivision of one type of food especially when the name translation of each on the label was so inaccurate. But as I mentioned in pr”my first comment here, the Chinese name on the packages you posted are recognizable for native Chinese. You might have heard of Yangchun Mian, Daoxiao Mian, Shougan Mian, Chen Mian, Dalu Mian, Youpolazi Mian, Hui Mian, Saozi Mian, Congyou Mian, Dandan Mian, Chongqiong Xiao Mian, Zhajiang Mian, Ban Mian, Chao Mian, Liang Mian etc. if you experience long and deep enough as you think you do.😜

    @mitchell If you think Lanzhou noodles is the synonym of Lanzhou Lamian, then Beijing noodles is the synonym of Lao Beijing Zhajiangmian which you must have heard of and it’s not less famous than Lanzhou Lamian.

    @Anna I can see thousands of Lanzhou La mian restaurants in nearly every city in China..... Haven't had much luck finding Fuzhou or Beijing noodles all throughout China like Lanzhou la mian...... I didn't name it that, that's what they wrote on their restaurants.... Beijing duck is famous and everyone knows that.... But haven't heard much about the other noodles.... And I've been to all these cities and know locals..... No one ever mentioned those "famous" Fuzhou or Beijing noodles.... But everyone seems to always talk about the Beijing duck....

    @mitchell Noodles might not be a very big deal in a lot of other cities especially in those eastern side of the country because there are plenty of other delicacy in their local food list while noodles are almost the real big deal in the food list of middle and west of China. Besides, you can check with all your Chinese friends if they think Lao Beijing Zhajiangmian老北京炸酱面 are famous in China:)

    @Anna again.... There are thousands of Lanzhou la mian restaurants in every city in China east to west...... North to south..... My main point was why are they so famous but the other noodles aren't nearly as famous.... There are probably 1000 Lanzhou noodle restaurants in Shanghai..... There is no where near that number of the Beijing noodles you are talking about in restaurants in Shanghai.... Same in Chongqing.... Same in Xiamen..... But there are tons of Lanzhou la mian noodle restaurants..... So my point is to examine why the Lanzhou noodles have so much popularity and business..... Yet the others aren't....

    @mitchell In the 1980s, Hualong people began to push their noodle business to the whole country. At first it was called Qinghai Ramen, but later it was renamed "Lanzhou Beef Ramen" because Lanzhou beef noodles are more famous. Currently, there are nearly 40,000 "Lanzhou Ramen" from Hualong, Qinghai province, all over the country. Hualong Hui Autonomous County is a state-level poverty-stricken county with a population of 200,000, 1/3 of which cook ramen noodles outside. Last year, the army pulled 570 million yuan from all over the country, more than five times the county's public budget revenue.
