Chinese foods represent grieving to try the funeral home noodles

Foodies in China are reported to flow to an incredible destination – a funeral home – after a dish with a noodle served in its dining room, it is a virus on social media.

The dish is located in Erlong’s funeral home in the southwestern Gizhou province.

The dining room takes care of the customers of the funeral home, but as the word began to spread to its noodles, hordes of evenings – some that present themselves as sorrows – began to show up to taste the food.

Since then Erlong has announced that it will allow some members of the public to eat in his premises as long as they do They do not break the real mourners.

The funeral home offers various types of noodles with breakfast at breakfast and dinner hours that cost 10 yuan per bowl ($ 1.38; $ 1.09).

The most popular type is reported is the noodles covered with minced meat and peanuts.

An Erlong worker told Jiupai News that “they only serve clients who come to the funeral home to deal with the questions.”

But other people sneak to get a box of noodles, the worker said, adding that sometimes the tails in Erlong are so long that the evenings sometimes have to wait a few hours to take their food.

“There were people who pretend to be the relatives of the deceased. It is difficult to understand them when overflowing and it is difficult to manage,” he said.

To respond to the demand, the funeral home has since decided to offer 50 bowls of noodles to public members every day – free of charge – as long as “they do not affect the mourning of the people,” according to Erlong chef in an interview with local media.

While the dish with the noodles was already popular with the locals, the obsession seems to rise earlier this month when a social media user published about the dish while visiting a friend in Gizhou, who is known for his spicy and sour dishes.

“My friend says the food in this funeral home is so good,” they wrote earlier this month on Xiaohongshu, also known as Rednote. “The food queue is longer than the flow of flowers for the deceased.”

“I failed to eat the noodles because my friend’s mother did not know anyone who was conducting a funeral service.”

Since then, many Chinese social media users have also shared their experience by eating noodles.

On Douyin, the Chinese version of Tiktok, a user shared a photo of the dining room tickets, with what looked like a crowd, a food queue.

“I heard the noodles here were very good,” they wrote. “I thought how short life was and I got another bowl.”
