<< review queue entry 90107 - submitted by 'm_boli' >> Literally tang2zhuang1 is traditional style (Tang dynasty?) clothes, and mian is face (cognate with noodles I suppose), Try google-searching the 3 chars as one word you will get a zillion restaurants etc using that phrase for the noodle dish ----------------------- Editor: I don't think there's sufficient evidence to justify including 唐装面. The term does appear on some Chinese restaurant menus in the US, but the examples seem heavily concentrated in the Chicago area. Google Images returns fewer than 60 results for 唐装面, fewer than half of which depict food, and those appear to be associated with Chicago-area restaurants. There is very little evidence of usage in China or Taiwan. A Google search for "唐装面" restricted to .cn sites reports only 109 results, and all of the first ten are false positives, where 唐装 refers to clothing and 面 begins the following word or phrase. The precise meaning is also uncertain. A US food wholesaler lists 唐裝麵 as "steam noodles", suggesting a type of noodle rather than the prepared dish described in the submission. It seems to be a highly localized restaurant-menu term, with insufficient evidence of wider usage or a clearly established meaning. |
