After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it also means the end of the Spring Festival holiday. Before the Spring Festival, I made a wish for abundant wealth, and now three-quarters of it has been fulfilled!
The reason is that this New Year the "Condor Heroes Brigade" went to Xi'an!
The most different thing about celebrating Chinese New Year in Xi'an from other cities is the food.
It is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain. More than ten dynasties have established their capitals here in history. It is not only a world-famous historical city, but also a popular food gathering place.
The food here is famous for its variety, which will dazzle you. As friends from Chengdu, the city of food, and bold northwest people, we have not been disappointed in the food. The most enjoyable moment every day is to go to the streets and alleys to look for food.
For those who are obsessed with food and want to eat local specialties, please follow the lens of "Condor Heroes" to have a great meal together!
Muslim Street is a famous food and cultural district in Xi'an. It is the place where Xi'an's specialty snacks are most concentrated. It is the best choice for foreign tourists to taste Shaanxi food.
Muslim Street is not a street, but a collective name for more than ten streets including Beiguangji Street, Beiyuanmen, Xiyangshi, Dapiyuan, Huajue Lane, and Sajin Bridge. Entering from behind the Bell and Drum Tower, you will always see
Tourists are flocking shoulder to shoulder, and the dazzling array of food is really mouth-watering.
When eating here, don't look at the decoration. Luxury does not mean good taste. There are many craftsmanship passed down for thousands of years hidden here, including decades-old pots, greasy signboards, worn-out tables and chairs, and those stewed chunks of "cold food".
"Meat", the old man breaking the steamed buns bit by bit, the boy baking the steamed buns, the hot soup... You can taste the old taste from the fragrance on your lips and teeth, and only pure inheritance can do it.
Under the guidance of our local friend Chen Ge in Xi'an, almost everything we ate was from time-honored brands, and everything tasted good!
Below I will focus on a dozen of them, enough for you to eat for three to five days without repeating the same thing!
Address: No. 89, Dapiyuan. Features: Spicy meatball soup, steamed buns, and crispy pork. Let’s start with breakfast!
Spicy meatball soup is a halal snack of the Hui people in Xi'an.
This shop opens at five o'clock every day. It is a popular breakfast shop owned by Xi'an indigenous people. The price difference between big and small bowls is only one yuan.
First, make soup with beef and mutton bones, add beef balls, stew vegetables, and finally thicken the soup, which is a big pot of stew.
It sounds easy, but it takes a lot of effort to make the dishes not overcooked and delicious.
Before eating, pour a spoonful of the red chili oil carefully brewed by the store. After eating, the tip of your tongue will be numb and you will sweat slightly. Sichuan people will say it's delicious!
Address: No. 134, Dapiyuan Features: Lamb offal soup, offal liver soup, offal soup
If you have energy, you can get up early and queue up for the first bowl of soup.
It is similar to mutton soup, but the mixed liver does not have the strong mutton flavor. The rice noodles in the soup absorb the flavor of the soup very well.
I ate a whole bowl by myself, it was so satisfying!
Address: No. 187, North Guangji Street. Features: Cured beef, cured mutton, and soy sauce beef. The most famous cured beef is not only very soft, but also very tasty. If you want to eat it, be sure to get there early. It will be sold out at 10 a.m., except
In addition to fast food, locals also buy it home and use it to stir-fry and make soup.
Address: Intersection of Xiyangshi Street, Beiguangji Street. Features: Zeng Cake. Just opposite Liu Jixiao's Beef and Mutton, it is the most delicious, freshest and best-selling Zeng Cake in Xi'an. The queue length every day is one of the best in the Muslim area.
Even if you don’t like sweet and sour food, seeing the queue makes you want to try it!
Address: Middle section of Dapiyuan Features: Sour plum soup The authentic freshly brewed sour plum soup is obviously different from the one bought at the canteen in the restaurant.
