Obsession: Dan Dan Mian, Part Two

These are my three favorite Dan Dan Noodles in the Greater Vancouver Area:

The fiery hot "Chengdu" Dan Dan at Szechwan Restaurant in Richmond. Authentic tasting - earthy-toasty from the cooked dried chili, blazing hot, lots of ma la and not a hint of sweetness.





The thick, dark, toasted sesame rendition from The Place Restaurant. This could actually be my real favorite of the bunch. It is similar but less sweet to the dish they used to serve at Lin's.




The Dan Dan at Northern Delicacy at Aberdeen Center in Richmond. The soup is a thin, but flavourful sesame-based broth. The black sesame seeds impart a nice nutty-sweet tone to the dish
