Ma Zi Lu Beef Noodles - Menu

The restaurant is very new so there is not much items on the menu. More items will be slowly added into the menu. 

Ma Zi Lu Beef Noodles - Signature Beef Noodles

This is the Signature Beef Noodles [S$12.90 for Large, S$10.90 for Small]. You can choose between spicy and no -spicy  and since I don’t take spicy food, I opted for non-spicy. I am not sure if it is due to the lack of the fiery-red chilli oil, but I find the broth rather plain. I can’t really taste the beefiness in the soup. The noodles, however, are very well-done. These noodles are easily the best handmade noodles I have had in a long time. The noodles chewy and does not break easily. The quality of the beef slices is not very consistent. The beef was hard the first time I was there, but very soft and tender on my second visit. 

There are 8 types of noodles to choose from and I normally choose Two Fine or Three Fine, which also happen to be the most popular options. 

There is also plain Noodles [S$9.90 for Large, S$7.90 for Small] which is just soup and noodles without sliced beef. 

 

Ma Zi Lu Beef Noodles - Sauerkraut Beef Noodles

Sauerkraut Beef Noodles [S$12.90 for Large, S$10.90 for Small] is almost identical to Signature Beef Noodles. The addition of sauerkraut does little to enhance the taste of the bland soup.

You can also order Vegetarian Noodle (Dry) [S$9.90], Dry Beef Noodles [S$11.90] and Dry Chicken Noodles [S$11.90].
