This is a Relatively Large Restoran dedicated to China Lanzhou ๅ…ฐๅทž Dishes. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ  Lanzhou is the Capital City of Gansu Province in Northwestern China that has a Significant Muslim Population primarily of the Hui Ethnic Group dating back over 1300 years. (Source: Google AI Overview)


The Place looks Elegantly Renovated with a Modern Design Note. There weren't any Customers around when I was there at 11.26am on a Friday Morning. ๐ŸŒž (I visited this Restoran back in October 2025 btw, Not Ramadan Season) 

The Staff attending to me was Friendly and Polite. I especially appreciated when I asked for an Additional Small Plate, he not only brought the Plate, he also brought along a Smaller Sauce Plate just to ensure he did not misunderstand my Request. ๐Ÿฝ️ I appreciate this level of Attention very much. ๐Ÿ‘

I'm quite intrigued to learn that China-Styled ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข "Shaved Noodles" is actually translated as "Mee Hiris" (Sliced Noodles) in Malay so thats what I ordered since its literally the Name of the Restoran itself. ๐Ÿœ It took about 8 Mins for the Dish to be served up.


๐ŸŒถ️ Quality of the Chilli Condiment ็บขๆฒน


The Chilli Condiment they have on the Table is Chinese-Styled ็บขๆฒน yes, but I thought it had a Noticeable More Saltier Note than Regular ็บขๆฒน that I've tasted before. ๐ŸŒถ️๐Ÿค”

Not only just focusing on Chilli Peppers, I thought it also had a Slight Meaty Flavour to it. Very Mildly Spicy, this doesn't bite at all. Not Bad Chilli Condiment. ๐ŸŒถ️๐Ÿ‘


๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿœ Mee Tarik Soup with Braised Beef ๆ‹›็‰Œ็บข็ƒง็‰›่‚‰ๆ‹‰้ข (ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข) = RM21.90


Decently Presented in a Chinese-Styled Bowl, the Dish looked like a Big Bowl of Noodles. ๐Ÿœ It comes with:
๐Ÿœ Noodles of course
๐Ÿฎ 15 Small Cuts of ็บข็ƒง Braised Beef
๐Ÿฅฌ 4 Small Stalks of Chye Sim
๐Ÿฅฌ Sprinkling of Spring Onions and Sesame Seeds for Garnishing

๐Ÿฒ Quality of the Soup Broth


Oily with alot of Chilli Oil ็บขๆฒน, ๐ŸŒถ️ its Very Mild in Beef Flavour actually, not Very Gao Gao Beefy type. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿค” Doesn't taste like MSG is added, it doesn't taste like its Boiled for Very Long due to the Mild Beefiness in the Broth, but it is Decent Tasting. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Despite how much ็บขๆฒน is added, its Not Mala or Very Spicy at all, at most just a Gentle Spicy Heat in your Throat. ๐ŸŒถ️



๐Ÿœ Quality of the Noodles

Amount of Noodles given is Reasonable. Long and Thick, almost like a Thicker Version of a Regular Kway Teow. ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿค” There is a Unique Line Indentation running along in the Middle. ๐Ÿค” I love the Texture though because it is Very Soft and Smooth and Slides Super Easy down the Gullet. ๐Ÿ˜‹

That said, I don't think this is actually ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข? ๐Ÿค” Now I've never eaten Authentic ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข from China itself, but i think it is supposed to be a Shorter Cut Noodles as compared to this type of Long Noodles which is why its called ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข "Shaved Noodles" in the First Place? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿฎ Quality of the Beef Pieces

Cut into Smaller Pieces, these exuded a Delicious Aroma as expected for a ็บข็ƒง็‰›่‚‰ Braised Beef. ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿ˜‹ Bite Texture isn't Melt in Mouth though with a Slight Tender Meaty Chew. Not Overly Beefy, they were Decent Tasting. ๐Ÿ–


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At the Price of RM21.90 (S$6.90) is not say Cheap for this, but I feel its still worth the Money. The Thing that did it for me is really how Soft and Smooth and Slurppable this Noodle was. ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ˜‹ Really Soft and Goes Down Easy, eating this felt like I was eating a Very Soft Kueh. ๐Ÿ˜‹ The only issue I have is that I don't think this is actually Authentic ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข? ๐Ÿค”

To be fair, I have never eaten Actual Authentic ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข "Knife shaved Noodles" from China itself, so I'm really not sure if this is a Different Variation or not. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿค” For Folks who have eaten Authentic ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข from Lanzhou itself, is this Noodle Accurate? Is it supposed to be Long Long type? ๐Ÿค”

Authenticity of the Noodle aside, I have no issues with the Dish. ๐Ÿ‘ It doesn't taste Too Foreign Tasting and I reckon will appeal to Most People. ๐Ÿ‘ Eating Everything together was Pretty Satisfying slurping up everything with a Not-Spicy Broth and Ocassional Bites of that Tender Meaty Braised Beef. ๐Ÿ˜‹ ไธ€ๅฃๆฑค, ไธ€ๅฃ่‚‰, ไธ€ๅฃ้บต, ๅƒ็š„ๅ‡ ็ˆฝไธ€ไธ‹.

Don't let my Average Score deter you. If you are looking for some Decent Tasting China-Styled Slurpable Noodles that doesn't taste Too Foreign, don't mind the Prices on the Menu, and also don't mind that this Noodle may not be 100% Authentic ๅˆ€ๅ‰Š้ข, I can still recommend this Restoran to give it a try. ๐Ÿ‘
