    Tian Xiang Ge (天香阁)

    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 [...]


    Terracotta Army in Xi'an

    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 [...]


    Xi'an Snack Street (回民小吃一条街)

    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 [...]

    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 [...]


    Starbucks in Xi'an, China

    Pretty impressive design for a Starbucks in Xi’an, no?


    P.C. Lee California Beef Noodle King in Xi'an, China

    This is really funny and I’m having quite a bit of fun just writing about this.
    So a friend and I decided to visit the Terracotta Warriors (that’s probably why I visited city!) and when we got to the Xi’an Train Station, we needed to fill up before we head off on the 40-minute bus ride. [...]


    乾州食府 (科技路) in Xian, China

    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 [...]
