西贝莜面村 — Restaurant in Shenzhen

Located on UG Level of the Link CentralWalk Shopping Centre, 西贝莜面村 is an oat noodle restaurant chain. The mall is located adjacent to the High Speed Rail Futian Station and Hui Zhan Zhong Xin Mass Transit Station (Line 1 & 4).

The restaurant sits along with many other restaurants on the UG floor within the mall, with plenty of waiting area seats. We arrived at around 6pm on a Saturday evening an had to wait for around 8 tables, but were seated within 30 minutes of arriving, which was not bad compared to typical wait times here.

The restaurant was packed, but the staff were patient and polite. They spoke predominantly Mandarin or Cantonese. Their menu is digital (accessible on WeChat via QR code), and has images.You order and pay via the WeChat app, as with most restaurants in China nowadays. The staff are friendly and can take manual orders if you don't want to use the WeChat app.

Although the restaurant chain is famous for their oat noodles, we had a craving for lamb so ordered their lamb leg set and lamb skewers. For drinks we ordered a yoghurt drink and a blueberry juice. The lamb leg came with some steamed mantou (buns) along with some sliced cucumbers, shiso leaves, fermented chili bean paste and cumin powder. Complimentary flower tea is served. The lamb was quite fresh, with a fragrant gamey taste that Chinese lamb dishes are famous for. The leg was a good balance of meat and fat, so was not tough like some other restaurants. The lamb skewers was not too meaty, but went well with the spicy powder and cumin.

We ended up paying around RMB308, which was an absolute bargain for two people. Will definitely need to visit again to try their famous...

莜面，繁體作蓧麵，係河北省與山西省一帶，以莜麥製成的特色食品。

1988 年成立於內蒙古的「西貝莜面村」原先看名字是單純的麵店，看了菜單才知道是主打西北菜色的特色餐廳。

聽到「肉夾饃」三個字，令我眼睛為之一亮，前些日子路經北京時，錯過了「驢肉夾饃」，到了貴州又再錯過一次，為之扼腕不已，所以馬上點頭說：「想吃！」

常言道，有時過程中重要的是誰和你吃飯，而不是吃些什麼。

西貝莜面村店內環窗明几淨，紅色系格紋桌巾讓我想起《夢幻西餐廳》的記憶，似乎是遊戲初期的泛用配色。服務態度十分的專業與親切，耐心解說，熱情介紹，讓我首日便對深圳留下了頗佳的印象。
