After a couple days in Xi’an eating their local delicacies, it got just a little too heavy for us and we’ve opted for something a little lighter and closer to home: Cantonese cuisine in Xi’an! WOW! Adventurous.
Here’s a short excerpt from the hotel’s website: “Authentic Cantonese cuisine ranging from traditional dim sum to freshly homemade [...]

Not exactly food, but these photos definitely deserve some server and bandwidth space. This is perhaps, 1 of 2 reasons why I visited Xi’an in the first place!
What you’re seeing here (Pit 1, 2, 3 and 4 – although there’s nothing in Pit 4) took 720,000 people a lifetime to build. Dubbed the “8th Wonder [...]

I would be doing you, my loyal visitors (and fellow food bloggers) a huge disservice if I hadn’t report to you Xi’an’s Snack Street … nicknamed “回民小吃一条街” (Hui Min Xiao Chi Yi Tiao Jie) or “回坊风情街” (Hui Fang Feng Qing Jie) … I was already full from De Fa Chang, but my senses were begging [...]

On my last day in Xi’an, I was recommended a dumpling restaurant near the Drum Tower called De Fa Chang. “You can’t really miss it … there’s this big sign” says the concierge. And when I got there … she was right.
The signage reads “千古风味饺子香 传奇品质德发长” followed by a line underneath that says “The legendary [...]

This is really funny and I’m having quite a bit of fun just writing about this.

I just came back from a “business trip” from Xi’an, China and while I was there, I asked my staff to surprise me with some local delicacies … I was brought to a 乾州食府 on 科技路. The restaurant was semi-decent; it was definitely not the hole-in-wall type of restaurants, nor was it anything upscale. The [...]
