As its name suggests, Laifen noodle soup is the key item on offer in this rustic shop – you can have it alongside ingredients, such as barbecue pork, beef balls or octopus. The old-time dish ‘water caltrop’, which is rice noodles shaped like bite-size buffalo nuts topped with shredded omelette, preserved cabbage and barbecue pork, is hard to find elsewhere. Also try homemade preserved radish.
