    Restaurant of the Week (6/1-6/7) A De Luo Si Fen

    A De Luo Si Fen is part of the wave of specialty noodle shops that have introduced regional Chinese cuisines to the San Gabriel Valley, focusing on the distinctive rice noodles of Liuzhou in Guangxi Province. The restaurant’s signature dish, luosifen, has developed a passionate following for its unmistakable broth built from river snail stock, pickled bamboo shoots, chili oil, peanuts, tofu skin, and vinegar. The result is a bowl with a flavor profile unlike almost anything else in Chinese cooking, balancing sourness, spice, fermentation, and rich broth in a single spoonful.
