Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodle Three words to bring you joy: Hand. Pulled. Noodles. 🍜 We recently checked out Uncle Zhou Restaurant, the famed Henan Chinese noodle shop which opened in Plano after closing its popular Queens location in New York. Famous for its hand-pulled noodles, this shop was even on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list! The menu is surprisingly deep, with tasty traditional Chinese appetizers, dumplings & rice dishes at extremely reasonable prices, but we came here for the noodles so we didn’t let ourselves get distracted. To be thorough, we got a beef tendon soup, which was comforting & delicious, but the star of the show is definitely the famous Dial Oil Hand-Drawn Noodles. The noodles are fat & tender, topped with bok choy & garlic and smothered in hot oil. The noodles are chewy & awesome & the flavor is bold & surprisingly not as spicy as it looks. It’s easy to see why it’s so beloved. We always feel lucky when an established shop decides to come to town & are glad Uncle Zhou made its way to North Texas! What favorite from another city do you wish would relocate here? -@amypyen #dallasfoodnerd

Wine tasting! 💁🏻‍♀️🍷 We were intro Wine tasting! 💁🏻‍♀️🍷 We were introduced to Georgian wine brand, @silkroadwines and loved seeing the variety of bottles including a unique orange/amber wine! Fun fact: Amber wine comes from ripe white grapes with skins placed into a Qvevri (a large clay amphora buried into the earth). The wine is fermented for 5-6 months before bottling. The maturation on the skins is what gives the amber color. This dry wine has notes of honey and apricot. Other tasting notes from our lineup: 🍷Red Semi Sweet - floral notes, sweeter than we expected 🍷Dry Red - smooth, full bodied with dark berry notes 🍷Organic Rose - longer finish, very light 🍷Dry White Wine - floral, green apple notes 🍷Organic Amber - apricot notes, light taste, color looks heavier than it is If you’re looking to expand your wine knowledge and tastes, pick up these bottles now at @centralmarket in DFW. 🥂 #hosted #winetasting #silkroadwines #centralmarket #vino #wine

Did you know January is #nationalhotteamonth? I di Did you know January is #nationalhotteamonth? I did not. TBH, I don’t know why we have so many food/drink themed days, weeks, and months. BUT I do love me some tea ☕️, year-round. Here are some of my favs: - If Matcha 🍵 is on the menu and I haven’t tried it at least once, that’s my first choice. The one pictured here is either from @ascensioncoffee or @redefinedcoffeehouse - Chai and Dirty Chai are both an excellent choice, @84pointcoffee + @dunnbroscoffee in Addison both make a good chai - My go-to tea 🥤 at Starbys is London Fog - My go-to tea 🫖 at home is @harneyteas - Paris, London Fog, and Vanilla Comoro are in the regular rotation - Thai Tea🧋is in its own category, and worth a mention! We’d love to know yours in the comments.
