Usually pot noodles in China aren't spicy and all use the same Top Ramen/Manchurian style instant noodles. All except for these spicy oil noodles I bought at TESCO on a whim. They not only use a longer, thicker style of instant noodle but it was actually quite spicy. It seems like the company was trying to emulate biangbiang mian, a type of long spicy "belt like" noodles popular in Xi'an and the rest of Shaanxi Province. Overall they weren't bad, they did cost a whole 2RMB more than my usual noodles, but 2RMB is only a few cents so it is no big deal.

I didn't get any pics of those biangbiang mian noodles in Xi'an... did you? The ones we had looked a LOT better than those things!

2RMB? Are you kidding me? What a splurge. That's 30 cents. You can buy another whole brick of Top Ramen in NJ for less than that. Enjoy
