Laonainai Beef Noodles (Shuangtong Lane)

Laonainai Beef Noodles is a street-food noodle shop at the junction of Shuangtong Lane and Guohuo Road, near Xinbai, in Fanluoshan Subdistrict of Wuhu's Jinghu District, Anhui province, China. The name means Grandma's beef noodles, and the shop serves spicy red-oil beef noodles topped with large chunks of beef; it was named in a Wuhu breakfast guide. The dishes on the listing are the grandma's-style beef noodles (laonainai niurou mian) and dried tofu (dougan). The noodles come in a chilli-oil broth that gives a red surface and a savoury, moderately spicy flavour, and the bowls are large, with a price of about ¥10-19 depending on the portion and toppings. The dried tofu is a common side that soaks up the broth. Beef noodles in this style are a typical breakfast or early lunch in Wuhu, and the lane around the shop is a well-known place for local snacks. The shop is a small, informal eatery with a few tables and a quick turnover; the atmosphere is lively and plain, with locals eating quickly, and there is no dress code. There is no wine or alcohol programme, and customers normally drink tea or water with the meal. Reservations are not taken: the listing describes the shop as walk-in, and there is generally no need to book. Opening hours on the Trip.com listing are 08:00-20:30, and visitors are advised to confirm on Dianping. The mobile number on the listing is +86 137 0553 6757. Because the shop sits on Shuangtong Lane, it combines naturally with other nearby snack stalls, including dessert shops, and with a walk through the older central district. A bowl is generous enough to serve as a full meal for most visitors, and the very low price makes it one of the cheapest satisfying meals in the city.
