If you look closely on the left side of that bowl above, you'll see something that looks like yellow peas. It seems out of place in a bowl like this, but apparently this is typical of how it's served in Chongqing, featuring wandou yellow peas done to a consistency and taste like split pea soup or even Indian dal. And that smothering texture was a very nice complement to the super salty (and rather dried out) meat sauce to the right of it. One other nice twist at Xiao Noodles is the free kaedama that they do here. It's quite a good value, if only it were healthier.
