East Lake is a quite special area of Neihu.
Although the house number is Neihu District, the living area is almost aligned with Nangang and Xizhi, and not many are related to Neihu District.
And Lan’s Sesame Oil Chicken is in this area.
In fact, it is not that easy to find the store entrance. There is an arcade in the middle of the store from the roadside. You have to walk a little further inside to see the store entrance.
There is a big rabbit cage at the entrance of the store. The rabbit in the store is very cute. You can see him running and jumping out of the cage during off-peak hours in the afternoon. There used to be two of them, but unfortunately one of them passed away some time ago.
Today I had a set meal for one person. I chose pig as the meat and noodles as the starch (because I ran out of white rice).
The special meal for one person consists of four meals, sesame oil chicken (pork), starch, blanched vegetables, and tempura, priced at 150 yuan.
The sesame oil is full of aroma, and the mellow sweetness of the sesame oil matches well with the moderately thick inner muscles. The noodles are full of elasticity, and it is really a pleasure to slowly mix it into the hot sesame oil soup base.
The blanched vegetables are cabbage and king oyster mushrooms, garnished with minced meat. The leaves and mushroom bodies are quite tender and delicious.
The content of tempura is quite diverse. In addition to the standard sweet and spicy rice blood, there are also meatballs, ham and fish plates, etc. It is topped with a slightly sweet special sauce. The combination of salty and sweet can actually stimulate the appetite.
There is no rest time in the afternoon, so you have a high degree of freedom in dining. As long as you are walking around East Lake, I highly recommend you to try the delicious food here.
