四厂烩面(棉纺路店)

One thing you must eat when you come to the western suburbs of Zhengzhou is Sichang stewed noodles. This stewed noodle restaurant has a history of more than 20 years. I have never been here, but after eating here this time, I found that the price is really not cheap. A bowl of stewed noodles costs 16 yuan, and a cold dish costs 18 yuan. The price is really expensive. Their stewed noodles are different from other stewed noodles. It is a more traditional curry stewed noodles. It is okay to eat it once, but I can't stand it after eating it twice.

Laosichang stewed noodles are very authentic and affordable! Walking in an environment very close to where I lived in my childhood, it is very kind, very familiar, and can evoke memories of the past! The store is not big but very popular. Eating is about feelings and pursuing memories of the past!

This time, my client was completely lost after returning home! They were too lazy to plan anything! Luckily, Yinji Plaza was less crowded and there were no lines! That saved them a lot of money! They then carefully planned what to eat to see and decided on some local specialties! They went to Sichang Huimian (Fourth Factory Braised Noodles) and even visited a museum! Two enjoyable days! Seemed relaxing, but actually, their legs were killing them! Haha, but it was so much fun!
