BBQ Handmade Noodles King, Manchester

You can't beat a big steaming bowl of hand made noodles. If you haven't tried them before they are well worth seeking out. They are much chewier and more robust than dried packet noodles, and all the more satisfying for it.

This is a bowl of hand made noodles with braised beef in spicy soup. The soup base was very good, pungent with garlic and five spice. The beef, sliced thinly was fibrous, fatty and beautifully tender. It was a cheaper cut (probably brisket) cooked long and slow to melting unctuousness. A few greens added colour and texture and the noodles themselves were spot on. Wonderful Chinese comfort food. Great value too at £6.80.

Thanks to Mr Noodles for the tip. I'm not sure what the exact address of this restaurant is, but head to Chinatown, look for the sign and you can't go wrong.
