From All Over Newton:
So that’s how “Biang Biang Noodles” got its name!
Chef Shine Huang stepped out of the kitchen of the newly re-launched starfoodsnewton to give us a demo of how hand-pulled Biang Biang Noodles are made. Chef Huang boasts 20+ years of restaurant experience, and is also the owner of successful Belmont center Chinese restaurant, Shine’s Fresh Asian. He has taken over as chef of StarFoods (renamed House of Noodles-StarFoods) on Pelham Street in Newton Centre, and retooled its menu to feature Northern Chinese Cuisine, including hand-pulled noodles.
Due to its small size, the restaurant will primarily focus on take out, but has retained some indoor seating and its popular personal hot pot stations. It’s now open seven days a week from 11-9. To celebrate its grand re-opening, House of Noodles-StarFoods is offering a 15% discount on its menu through August 18.
Oh, and the banging sound made as noodles are slapped on a work station resulted in the dish’s onomatopoeic name.
