Here is the back story: On another site a reviewer of the Confucius House said of this dish: "The za Jiang mian noodles floored me". And that was only the beginning of his praise...he went on on on about how he had never had a better version of the dish anywhere in the world. So how could I not try it?
At the Confucius House, the dish is called "Peking Noodles." It is indeed a black bean sauce- based concoction. Call it what you will...it was tastier than a viola solo! (and that is high praise indeed!)
There doesn't appear to be a "secret menu"...at least if there was one, it was so secret that I didn't see it.
I will return to this slightly camp eatery soon and report back to this congenial list.
