With most expats still raving about Noodle Bull, the place deserved a second visit. It was a choice of ordering the same noodle soup again and seeing if it just happened to be that day's batch of broth. Fear still struck from the bland (and MSG-lacking) broth from the first visit, a soupless noodle dish was selected instead. The vegetarian sesame paste noodles were much more enjoyable than the noodles in beef soup. It came with julienned carrots, cucumber, and egg. You just mix everything up in the bowl. The combination was light, yet completely satisfying.
In addition to the sesame paste noodles, I tried the pork and beancurd side as well as their take on kimchi. The pork and beancurd side completed the depth of the meal, especially if you are hankering for something more substantial and meaty. The kimchi, however, did lack the extra spicy kick, but was a welcomed presence in central Shanghai were decent Korean food is scarce.
At least now I know one of my default options if I do happen to be coerced into going to Noodle Bull again. Maybe one day the broth will present itself as a better memory to erase the old one.
