"New pub The Stranded is serving up the popular Chinese staple xiaomian this winter, partnering with Kingly Court success story Liu Xiaomian, who has been serving these steamy bowls of spicy noodle soup since 2017. The Stranded, surprise surprise, on the Strand, is hosting Liu Xiaomian in a pop-up space at the back of this roomy taphouse. They specialise in frothy milko' Czech beer served in hefty mugs."
"Xiaomian is a noodle dish originating in the city of Chongqing, in south-central China. Most well-known for its towering high rises interspersed with steep mountains in the West, Chongqing used to be part of Szechuan back in the day, so expect spice. In 2025, Chongqing was the largest city in the world, depending on how you measure it, covering the same land area as Austria."
The Stranded pub on the Strand is hosting a Liu Xiaomian pop-up serving Chongqing-style xiaomian this winter. Xiaomian consists of wheat noodles in a spicy broth topped with green vegetables and meat and serves as a common daily meal in Chongqing. Chongqing, formerly part of Szechuan, is known for spice and in 2025 covered an area comparable to Austria. The Stranded specialises in frothy Czech beer served in hefty mugs, a natural pairing with xiaomian. Liu Xiaomian offers four spice levels from none to extra spicy and a homemade chilli oil. The menu is simple with bar ordering and buzzer collection, and the venue will host a coffee-making robot.
