STEADY BITES: DAN DAN MIAN

STEADY BITES: DAN DAN MIAN

WHY: For as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve never had Chinese food that wasn’t watered down for the generic American tastebuds. So, when in the most authentic Chinatown of the states— do as authentic people in Chinatown would do?

DAN DAN MIAN is a noodle dish that originates from Sichuan cuisine and is smothered with a spicy sauce in addition to either a sesame or peanut one. “Dan dan” refers to the shoulder poles that food vendors use to carry these noodles for sale on the streets.

IMPRESSIONS: … Does this have peanuts in it?

First and foremost, I started panicking because I almost mistook the Sichuan peppercorn for peanut pieces. Second, the peppercorn was spicier than most Korean foods I’ve had growing up in a numbing-the-mouth type of way. And third, the combination of the aforementioned made me feel like I was having an allergic reaction which prevented me from fully enjoying the dish as I had anticipated.

As if timing couldn’t have been worse, (ladies!) I didn’t have much of an appetite. Definitely the rotten cherry to be placed on top since I had been looking forward to it. Yet, amid the mental distress, I genuinely enjoyed the first couple bites.. for someone that doesn’t enjoy oily dishes, I think that says a little bit.

From worst to best, here’s the rating breakdown:

  • “Hard Pass.” — Needs no explaining.
  • “Blue Balls.” — Was excited for this, but.
  • “Nothing to Write Home About.” — It’s ok.
  • “I’d Put it on Snapchat.” — Add me!
  • “DANK.” — Oh shit whaddup!

VERDICT: “Nothing to Write Home About.”

    I think what you published was very reasonable. However, what about this?
    suppose you composed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your
    information is not good, however suppose you added a headline to possibly grab people’s attention? I mean STEADY BITES: DAN DAN
    MIAN | LOUD+STEADY is a little vanilla. You might look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news headlines to grab people
    to open the links. You might try adding a
    video or a related pic or two to grab people interested
    about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could make your
    blog a little livelier.

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing issues with your blog.

    It appears like some of the text in your posts are running off
    the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me
    know if this is happening to them too? This might be a problem with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.

    A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I think that you ought to publish more on this subject matter, it might not be a
    taboo matter but usually people do not talk about these subjects.
    To the next! Cheers!!

    I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.
