When I was younger,I broke my foot playing sports. My Mom was convinced that eating Oxtail Soup would help the bones heal. So every weekend,while I was in my cast,she would make a huge batch of Oxtail Soup. She’d cook the oxtails in a slow cooker overnight and the next morning she’d add in tomatoes and carrots. Needless to say,I got sick of oxtail soup pretty fast. But every now and then,especially in the winter,I get a huge craving for my Mom’s oxtail soup. This however is not my Mother’s Oxtail soup.

After rounding up a group of our most adventurous friends,we came back to try more of the tasty food. We had the tu dou tiao (cold potato slaw),niu rou mian (beef noodle soup),niu wei mian (oxtail soup),and more of the jiu cai he zi (chive pies) and yang rou jia bing (lamb burger). The tu dou tiao ($3) was good and cold,crunchy,marinated in a little fish sauce (we think!),topped with a teeny bit of cilantro and pepper flakes. The niu rou mian ($4.50) at Lanzhou Hand-made Noodles was amazing:freshly made thin noodles in a beefy soup along with thick yet tender slices of beef. If you’re feeling dangerous,add in a few drops of the table chili oil. Their niu wei mian ($5.50) was also good but the soup wasn’t as complex and the oxtail wasn’t as meaty. We failed to snap a pic of the noodle dishes before we devoured them but there’s always tomorrow!  |  | |
