A unique Michelin-starred restaurant in Chengdu: Noodles, coffee, and kebabs!

Friends, I've found a hidden gem! Tucked away in the bustling alleys of Qinglong Zheng Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, lies a Michelin-starred treasure—Menban'er Mian. It's absolutely amazing, so take notes! • Directions: Take the subway to Dongmen Bridge Station and walk for about 10 minutes. If you're driving, be prepared. The streets are narrow, and parking is extremely limited due to residents and hungry diners. You might circle for ages without finding a spot, so arrive early to snag a space or park farther away and enjoy a pre-meal stroll. • Opening hours: 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Closed on Sundays, so don't make the mistake of going then! I almost did. • Signature dishes: ◦ You You Fan (Oily Rice): A must-try, topping the list! I wasn't expecting much, but it blew me away. Savory minced meat, crunchy dried radish, and vibrant green long beans, mixed with a special chili sauce, coat every grain of rice with a tantalizing flavor. The layers of taste are incredible. If you're not a fan of spice, ask for less chili. ◦ Crispy Shaoxing Long Bean Noodles: The noodles are firm and chewy, the crispy Shaoxing golden and crunchy, and the tender long beans blend perfectly with the rich sauce. Every bite is pure satisfaction. ◦ Steamed Egg: Silky smooth and melts in your mouth. It pairs perfectly with the You You Fan, the aroma of egg mingling with the fragrant rice. It's a whole new level of deliciousness. ◦ Electric-Grilled Meat: A nostalgic treat! The unique aroma of electric grilling takes you right back to childhood. It tastes exactly like the memories. • Hidden surprise: For a Michelin-starred restaurant, it has a hidden "Easter egg"—coffee! Carefully selected coffee beans are perfectly roasted and ground, resulting in a rich and fragrant brew. Classic lattes, cappuccinos, and refreshing Americanos are all available. Savor your drink in the retro atmosphere and enjoy the moment. Plan your visit wisely and avoid Sundays, or you'll be left disappointed. Go for it!
