Mind you don't generalise about that either. Yeah, Europe’s pretty big too. Mind you don’t generalise about that either.

I've been looking for Sirataki noodles ever since moving to Berlin (with no luck thus far). I'll have a look there. Thanks for the tip on the Japanese shop.

One thing that strikes you right away about the place is that it's not filled with the kitschy faux Chinese decorative stuff you find in most other "Asian" restaurants. Decent, cheap selection of wines, too. It's one of those ironies that one of the best wines to go with Asian food often turns out to be a German Riesling.

Nonetheless, except areas where wheat farming is easier than rice farming, rice is, in fact, the preferred starch. Don't forget: a lot of those noodles are made from rice. Got an address on Selig?

I spent a month in Xi'an and the rural areas around it, and would say that about 80 percent of the meals (some of which were large banquets) came with noodles, and only 20 percent with rice. In many provinces, especially in the north, people are more likely to noodles than rice. Speaking of noodles: "Selig" on Kantstrasse actually serves up some very decent Chinese noodle dishes, amazingly close to the real thing, with freshly made noodles.
