In recent weeks, the canteen of Erlong Funeral Home in Kaili, Guizhou province, has been bustling with visitors drawn to its famed noodle dish, as reported by the Yangcheng Evening News.
To enjoy the tasty food, many customers posed as relatives or friends of families holding funeral services, since the canteen is not open to the public, the report noted.
The rice noodles are available daily from 6 to 8am and 10 to 10.30pm, although the wait time can stretch up to an hour due to high demand.
The dish’s popularity soared after a local blogger shared in early February how his mother surprised him by taking him to enjoy rice noodles at a funeral home.
“At first, I was hesitant because it’s quite far from downtown, but my mother was adamant,” he recounted in the video. “After trying the rice noodles, I found them absolutely delicious.”
