The explanation for why they're called Dan Dan noodles is a little unclear when viewers are just reading the subtitles. You might want to include the transliteration of "bamboo pole" in the subtitles to give more context to people who can't understand Chinese.

I ate my first bowl of Sichuan dan dan at my 5, was a sad crying afternoon, my mom was punishing me for not getting home on time, lock me up from the door, I was sitting beside some bushes in the yard hadn’t stopped crying, a girlfriend of my mom passed by asked what happened and comforted me then took me to the only dan dan noodle restaurant then in the town. I had calmed down for a while when the bowl was served, but still congested at my nose, I smelled nothing about the noodle, I was hungry but felt little appetite towards it, it’s too dry to me, after all the tears running out and intense mood swings, It was a little bit dehydrated in my mouth, while my aunty encouraged me, I tried some bite, it’s just too dry too hot for a exhausted 5 year old, and this first impression lasted 7years till I was in grade 7, after the second time try this noodle I finally fully experienced the beauty of this snack, and put it at the shrine position of my food list. It then became my first choice of breakfast for a long time till I left town. Beside the first noe, there were other 2 dan dan noodles restaurants stood for more than 25 years in town, all small family running, the owner of the 1 refreshed my view on dan dan noodles were young couple when they started, the lady was expecting that time, me and friends heading to theirs all the time, seeing their boy from a infant to an graduated student from college, and finally one day, their son chose not to take it over, they ended it. The other one is running by 3 siblings, they were my parents age, started a little earlier than the young couple, their location was off my daily routine till high school, it’s a greasy spoon, really small, at top 22 or 25 seat crowed together by 5 little square tables, personal space was nonsense there, they opened early at 6:00 am, sold out everything before 1 pm everyday, none exceptional for decades. Funny thing was, no clue since when, customers and the owners formed some natural pace together, the whole morning from open to close, the tables keep full most time, no lines waiting outside, bowls served precisely with in 7 or 8 minutes, nobody stayed after empty the bowls, no one rushed either, the cashier lady shouted clearly to the kitchen right after no matter how many different kinds of bowls with different preferences been ordered, no more repeating needed, and customers took seats for minutes then began to enjoy. One day I was blown up by her, after she rapped everything to the kitchen once me and friends ordered like 28 different bowls at my face, she shifted back to an earlier chatting smooth as nothing happened, and she did that all day, every day, such a great skill. She remembered most frequenters’ preferences, and was a good chatter, made this restaurant a truly hole on the wall in town, I can’t remember how many times someone else paid my bowls. After many years, I went back, the lady still recognized me, and told some stories of my friends I didn’t learn. For me dan dan noodles is not just some nice food, it’s more like a anchor, after mom and grandparents passed, while everything in town is fading strange, the aroma and flavor and texture brings me to somewhere safe and familiar, like a womb on palate, a saviour.

I want to go try the original in China. When I lived in Japan my favorite was the Japanese version of dandan noodles. tantanmen ramen and soupless tantanmen 汁なし担々麺. You should try both at 175 deno in Japan. I would like to see what you think about it.

Maybe it was lost in translation but that explanation as to why they are called Dan Dan noodles didn't actually make any sense. Something to do with a bamboo pole? lol
@cherilynke74553 жыл бұрын
People in the past carry a pole made from bamboo with baskets hanging from each ends. In chinese it’s called 担子. Which is ‘dan zi’. Therefore called ‘dan dan’

@@cherilynke7455 Thank you! That explains it! "dan zi"...dan dan as a nickname. I knew it had something to do with the bamboo pole. I appreciate you taking the time to break it down for me.

How is the Hong Kong one "popular worldwide" when so many of us have never seen it? Is it like popular in Malaysia and Singapore or something? Never seen it in USA. Then again, if I go to a Cantonese restaurant/diner and I see dan dan mian on the menu, I wouldn't order it... so maybe that's where it's hiding?

Dandan noodles never come in soup even in north america...The only ones that are in soup are the cantonese version of them.
