Trivia
[For Adults] Based on Chinese medicine teaching 'mutton is a heating meat', this menu sells explosively at winter night markets. Herb soup infused with mutton fat is surprisingly sweet; glass noodles absorb that umami more directly than wheat noodles. The best warm-up feast noodle for cold-sensitive dieters.
