i realize that the picture attached to this post is only going to look appetizing to a select few, but if the image makes you drool you need to check this place out. derek (the noodle king) found another hand-pulled noodle spot under the manhattan bridge in chinatown. the menu lists about a dozen or so bowls of noodles with various ingredients. i couldn't figure out which one would have what i wanted so i went with the house special.
that was definitely the right choice. derek, who ordered the beef tendon, graciously hid his envy when my bowl arrived with two pieces of duck, a fried egg, beef tripe, pig intestine, beef tendon, other pieces of unidentifiable meaty things, and some leafy green stuff over hand-pulled noodles. the duck was perfectly juicy, the tripe was tender and flavorful, and the hand-pulled noodles were dense, chewy, and delicious. an excellent bowl of noodles - derek has found another winner. the house special was actually the most expensive item on the menu (less than $7 - query whether you would rather have two people's pops or a giant bowl of noodles?).
