This 炸酱面 is originated from northern China, can be found in Beijing, Tianjing and Taiwan.
There is one restaurant at Bras Basah complex, 2nd level ~ 天津楼~ the 锅贴,韭菜合and 炸酱面are very nice.
The 炸酱面 i normally have in the restaurant is spicy, but i like your way for doing this, coz it is suitable for kid.. ^_^ will keep the recipe and cook it whn i free.. thanks for sharing..
