Talk:hakka noodle

@Wyang Is this a thing in China or no? —Aryaman ^{(मुझसे बात करो)} 00:15, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora I don't think it's that well-known in China. It looks like chow mein. The Hakka are known for their boiled noodles, topped with seasoned minced pork and spring onion, called 醃面 (marinated/salted noodles), 客家麵 (kèjiāmiàn) (Hakka noodles) or kolo mee.

@Wyang: Thanks for the info! There is a strong Hakka community in Kolkata that probably introduced the dish to India, but it's been heavily Indianized since then. —Aryaman ^{(मुझसे बात करो)} 11:04, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora, Wyang: I'm not sure if it's restricted to India. "Hakka" restaurants where I live (GTA, Canada) have this as well. I can't tell if they're Indian Hakka, but they're usually halal restaurants. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora: Also, why is this the main form? Shouldn't Hakka be capitalized? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 04:55, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Most of the hits I found online were lowercase, so I kept it here. I don't think this is necessarily Indian Hakka, it's become standard fare throughout India, even to the point that you can buy Hakka noodles at many Indian grocery stores in America.

(By GTA, you mean Toronto, right?) —Aryaman ^{(मुझसे बात करो)} 11:36, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora: It's kinda late to reply... anyway, I said GTA because I live an hour's drive away from Toronto. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 02:54, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
