That Thuuuung Thuuuuung sound and amazing smell from the giant sized flat pan full of Chow Mien…. This is the commonest of the common picture of every single lane in Kolkata….City of Joy adopted this Chinese delicacy like its own child and now it is one of the famous street food of Kolkata and there is almost no similarity between Kolkata style Chow mien and the so called authentic version of the noodle. Though Chow mien is now a common street food almost in every city but the typical Kolkatan flavour is nothing but unique for me…. I sometimes prepare Kolkata Style Egg-chicken Chow mien at home and try to make it as close as possible to the Kolkata-fied version of the dish! I prefer to add both Chicken and Egg in my Chow mien …
