#Xi'an famous foods

[niteshade925]

Apr 10-11, Xi'an, China:

Arrived at Xi'an, didn't feel like going out to eat so we ordered delivery, and the food was delivered to our room by a robot! Apparently in the years since I visited last time, many big hotels in major cities/tourist destinations have implemented robots for delivering food and items up to rooms. Cool stuff.

Just for the fun of it, we ordered delivery again the next morning

Xi'an's famous roujiamo/肉夹馍, a little like a hamburger, but the meat inside (can be pork or beef; this one is beef since we ordered it from a Muslim-owned restaurant) is braised with a variety of spices:

Shaanxi province's specialty hulatang/胡辣汤, I like the strong pepper flavor. This is the street-food version though, so probably not the best:

Some commonplace Chinese street food, grilled cold noodles/烤冷面 and barbecued wheat gluten/烤面筋:

Also the box for the in-flight meal was cute. I definitely wasn't expecting a full meal being served on a 2-hour flight:

[thealogie]

Hello hello! Was wondering if you had any general (not necessarily theatre related) recs for NYC? As a side note I got to see Jeremy Strong - he was so spitty it was glorious

i have no idea what you like or what kind of rec you're looking for, but rapid fire list of general things:

best museum is the tenement museum.

blue ribbon brasserie for late night walk-in dinner somewhere nice/sit-down. nom wah for dim sum and xi'an famous foods for casual lunch/dinner.

KGB bar for drinks. Joyface or ding-a-ling for going out/partying.

Mcnally Jackson Bookstore on prince street for buying books and then walking around to check out the cute boutiques/coffee shops/restaurants.

[power-chords]

What are your fave nyc places to eat? I'm visiting there soon and I want some new places to try

Oh this is my favorite subject. OK. Pause on everything else. As a disclaimer my favorite thing to do is dine out solo and eat at the bar with whatever paperbacks have been floating around in my bag. So my recommendations are geared toward that purpose. Off the top of my head:

Good Fucking Luck getting in but Dhamaka if you can manage. It's just that good. I am a ramen junkie and believe that Ippudo NY still has the best bowl of tonkotsu in the city, but I am also fond of Ichiran, Ivan Ramen, Momosan, and of course the OG Momofuku Noodle Bar. Other kinds of noodles: Xi'an Famous Foods remains legit, and get the sesame noodles + everything else at Hwa Yuan. A bowl of pasta and a negroni at I Sodi is one of my favorite luxuries. No No No has solid yakitori and ramen/sushi to boot. Cocoron on Delancey for curry dipping soba. Dirty French for slutty bistro fare and people-watching.

Darbar Grill is my favorite Indian buffet in Midtown; not that you should spend a lot of time in Midtown. Taste From Everest has really delicious, affordable Nepali food in Curry Hill. Ma La Project is old reliable for me and my mom on theater nights. You do in fact have to eat at Katz's Deli if you haven't yet, just go at like midnight after you've seen a show at Bowery Ballroom and you're hammered. Get khachapuri and a tarragon soda at Oda House. Somtum Der has Isan Thai cuisine that will knock your socks off and you absolutely MUST order the grilled coconut rice which comes on skewers and you can dip it into a pot of spicy broth from one of your other entrees. Heaven.

Also, go to Tomi Jazz and tell me how it is.

I need to go back to NYC. I need yi ji shi mo rice roll again like i need air. Oh my god . Xi'an famous foods I'll kill myself at your altar for a plate of handpulled beef noodles

肥宅哈比人魔戒之旅-2023紐西蘭北島行(10)  生蠔自由Ｘ炸魚薯條Ｘ奧克蘭公寓式飯店賞屋

　　凌晨四點半左右我們披星戴月帶著鏟子來到了熱水海灘，但是走到挖洞的岩石邊才發現，這裡要挖洞製造溫泉的時機應該要在退潮的時候開始拼命挖，把海水留下來加熱，我們來得太晚了，已經開始漲潮了，而且速度比我們想像中的快，挖了兩下水已經快淹沒腳踝了，為了安全性只好果斷放棄挖溫泉，在沙灘上等待日出．所以來這裡玩必須要算準潮汐時間，而且沙灘挖洞其實也沒有想像中的輕鬆，所以這個景點其實蠻微妙的．只推薦年輕人來玩．

天亮之後拍的告示牌

只好撤退看太平洋最早的日出　

這個岩岸後面的沙灘就是挖洞的地點，但是沒多久就被漲潮吞沒了　

來了一個男人與一隻陪他看海的狗狗

可惜雲很厚的日出

　　回營區整理一下就繼續上路，沿著東海岸開回奧克蘭的旅程，這邊還是要說一下這裡住的Ｔｏｐ１０Holiday Park系列的營地，他是一個連鎖公司的營地，在各個地區和風景區經常都會有點，雖然收費相較其他營區貴一點，平均每人每晚要２０～３０紐幣，但是無論是公共設備或環境，都是有不錯的品質，通常不太會踩雷，而且選擇很彈性，無論是家庭小屋，或是單雙人床位，汽車旅館，營地帳篷等等都有，所以如果是開車旅行，訂這種有規劃的營地或是小木屋，也是不錯的選擇．

晚餐在營地吃的炸魚薯條

路上美麗的風景

　　途中我們停在一家有賣生蠔的餐廳吃午餐，這裡有賣新鮮的生蠔和青口，其實我們本來想去吃另一間有jumbo size生蠔的店，但是那間剛好因為假日沒開．這裡的生蠔只有小顆的，個頭差不多就是比較大一點的蚵仔，但是價格非常便宜．一打只要２０紐幣，而且吃起來非常鮮美，一點腥味都沒有．另外也有賣一些熱食，這裡的炸魚薯條和炸蠔餅也是蠻多人推薦的．其實紐西蘭吃生蠔青口的餐廳非常多，但是城市景區裡的價位也不低，像這種離海邊產地近，價格較便宜自產自銷的小餐館也有好幾間，可以仔細找尋．

Coromandel Oyster Company

生蠔自由

自己擺盤

炸魚薯條與炸洋蔥圈，這裡的炸魚薯條很傳統英式，好吃！

很濃很濃的青口海鮮濃湯，料很多，配麵包也好好吃．

　　抵達奧克蘭之後，我們入住了Adina Apartment Hotel Auckland Britomart，因為我們人數多，所以訂了三間房型，一間三房一廳，一間兩房一廳，一間就是一般的雙人床房，一進去雖然訂房時已經看過圖片，但實際上感受真的���乎意料的寬敞，這裡三晚一個人是五千多台幣，一個人一個晚上平均不到２０００台幣，以我們當時算是旅遊旺季快要結束，加上地點位於市中心，離火車站和知名的皇后街走路只要１５分鐘，這個價格算是相當划算，以我在訂房過程中的比較和搜尋，奧克蘭市中心的住宿如果要是旅館，通常至少２０００台幣起跳，再往下通常就是青旅類型的．總之還蠻推薦這間．

Adina Apartment Hotel Auckland Britomart

三房一廳樓中樓房型

兩房一廳房型

　　晚上吃了一間飯店附近的華人餐館西安飯莊，眾所周知奧克蘭是一個非常多華人移民的地方，這間主要賣得是道地的西安麵食，與台灣習慣清燉或醬油豆瓣的紅燒口味不一樣，這種澆滿一層紅油的牛肉麵，吃起來不是很辣但紅油非常香，羊肉湯麵也是湯濃馥郁，果然用這裡當地盛產新鮮的牛羊肉做出來的中菜，味道也不會太差．

Xi'An Food Bar 西安饭庄

　　吃飽飯逛個超市，散步回旅館，就結束這個吃吃喝喝拉車的一天，到這裡，露營車的旅程就告一段落，從這天開始，我們就會待在奧克蘭探險這個紐西蘭北島最大的城市啦！

Discover the Enchantment of China: A Journey Through Time and Tradition

Introduction

China, a land of ancient wonders and modern marvels, offers an unparalleled travel experience that seamlessly blends its rich history with its vibrant present. From the awe-inspiring Great Wall to the bustling streets of Shanghai, China captivates the imagination of travelers with its diverse landscapes, cultural heritage, and culinary delights. This article will guide you through some of the most iconic destinations in China, providing insights into the unique experiences that await you.

Beijing: The Heart of China

Beijing, the capital city, is a treasure trove of historical landmarks and cultural experiences. Begin your journey with a visit to the Great Wall of China, one of the most impressive architectural feats in human history. Stretching over 13,000 miles, the Great Wall offers stunning views and a glimpse into China's ancient defensive strategies.

Next, explore the Forbidden City, the largest palace complex in the world. This UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wander through its vast courtyards and ornate halls, and imagine the lives of the emperors who once resided there.

Don't miss the Temple of Heaven, a masterpiece of Ming architecture. This temple complex, used by emperors to pray for good harvests, is surrounded by beautiful gardens and offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city.

Beijing's Hutongs provide a glimpse into traditional Chinese life. These narrow alleys, lined with courtyard residences, offer a stark contrast to the modern skyscrapers of the city. Take a rickshaw tour or stroll through the Hutongs to experience the charm of old Beijing.

Xi'an: The Ancient Capital

Xi'an, one of the oldest cities in China, was the starting point of the Silk Road and served as the capital for several dynasties. The city's most famous attraction is the Terracotta Army, a collection of over 8,000 life-sized soldiers, horses, and chariots buried with Emperor Qin Shi Huang to protect him in the afterlife. Marvel at the intricate details of each figure, no two of which are identical.

Visit the Ancient City Wall, one of the best-preserved city walls in China. Rent a bike and cycle along the top of the wall for panoramic views of Xi'an. The wall is especially beautiful when illuminated at night.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a Buddhist pagoda built in the Tang dynasty, is another must-see. Climb to the top for a bird's-eye view of the city and learn about the pagoda's historical significance as a center for translating Buddhist scriptures.

Xi'an is also famous for its Muslim Quarter, a vibrant area filled with bustling markets and delicious street food. Sample local delicacies such as lamb skewers, roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), and biangbiang noodles while exploring the lively streets.

RECIPE: Pineapple Chicken (from Xi’an Famous Foods by Jason Wang)

Our small community of Chinese expats in Michigan was a jumble of families from all over China, so our potlucks were a melting pot of American food, Chinese American food, and traditional Chinese cooking. This dish is a result of those potlucks, a perfect example of how immigration and location can transform cultural flavors. Xi’an might not have a lot of sweet-and-salty combinations, but those flavors developed in other regions in southern China. Add in the influence of Chinese American takeout, and you get this: crispy bits of chicken in your classic sweet-and-sour sauce, with pineapple and ketchup (yes, ketchup). It’s exactly what you would think of when you think Chinese American food, but potentially better, fresher, from the take- out joint you wish were near your apartment.

One mother brought pineapple chicken to a Chinese New Year potluck, and my mom snagged the recipe to see if she could make her own version. Nothing about this dish was familiar to me back then, but when I have it now, it reminds me of a time when my family and I were trying so hard to blend into a new place, cooking with new ingredients. We ended up with flavors and combinations that on the surface looked strange but at their core struck something that felt like home (and tasted pretty damn good, too).

Serves 2

Ingredients:

5 ounces (140 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1½-inch (4 cm) pieces

½ teaspoon salt, divided

¾ teaspoon Shaoxing cooking wine, divided

⅓ cup plus ¼ teaspoon (48 g) cornstarch, divided

¼ teaspoon plus 2 cups (480 ml) plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons white vinegar

⅓ cup (75 ml) ketchup

2-inch (5 cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced into matchsticks

1 garlic clove, peeled and sliced

½ green bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) squares

½ red bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch (2 cm) squares

3½ ounces (100 g) canned pineapple cubes (if using a fresh pineapple, carefully remove and cut the flesh into 3⁄4-inch/2 cm cubes; reserve the shell)

1 green onion, white part only, cut into slivers

Directions:

Tenderize the chicken by lightly beating it with the blunt edge of a knife. This improves the texture and lets the seasoning sink into the meat.

In a medium bowl, add the chicken along with 1⁄4 teaspoon of the salt and 1⁄4 teaspoon of the cooking wine. Mix well to combine.

In a small bowl, make a slurry by combining 1⁄3 cup (45 g) of the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water to form a paste. Mix in one direction to combine. Add 1⁄4 teaspoon of the vegetable oil and stir to combine.

In another small bowl, add the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1⁄2 teaspoon cooking wine, along with the sugar, white vinegar, and ketchup. Mix evenly in one direction. This is your sweet-and-sour sauce.

In a large skillet, pour in the 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable oil and set over medium heat. Make sure the slurry is not settled by stirring it in one direction. Right before the oil reaches the smoking point (about 400°F/200°C, or when you see it start to shimmer), dip each piece of chicken in the cornstarch slurry and then carefully place into the oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, working in batches if necessary.

Cook the chicken on one side for 1½ minutes, flip over, and cook for another 1½ minutes. Remove to a plate. Repeat until all of the chicken pieces are fried.

In a small bowl, add the remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon cornstarch along with a splash of water to make a second slurry. Stir in one direction to combine.

Heat the oil once more over medium heat until just below smoking point (about 400°F/200°C, or when you see it start to shimmer). Return the chicken to the pan, working in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.

In another large skillet that can hold all of the ingredients comfortably, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until tender. Add the sweet-and-sour sauce and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Add the bell peppers and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the pineapple, green onion, and fried chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the second slurry you made and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1 minute, then serve.

*Note: If you have a pineapple shell, spoon the chicken into the hollowed-out shell for a fun—if kitschy— presentation. Moms love that stuff.
