Wuhan
Not your typical noodle stand, this popular spot specialises in two things: seafood règānmiàn (sesame noodles) served in a huge bowl that will easily feed two, and barbecued skewers. The noodles come with crab legs (蟹脚面, xièjiǎomiàn; ¥68) and clams (圣子面, shèngzǐmiàn; ¥38) – the literal translation of the latter is ‘Jesus noodles’!
On the barbecue menu, the potatoes (土豆, tǔdòu) are particularly good. Look for the Santa decal on the front window.
