Before 7 o’clock, there are already crowds of people here when I take a taxi The long queue in front of the Internet celebrity store is amazing, but it also arouses my infinite curiosity and expectations. What to eat at the morning market 1. Pork elbow and steamed bun 10r Waited in line for half an hour, watched a big pork elbow being taken out of the pot, chopped up and sandwiched in the bun, freshly cut and sandwiched, the bun skin was crispy, the meat was soft and tender, it was worth waiting for so long, recommended. 2. Beef pie 8r Waited in line for more than half an hour, the pie crust was golden, the beef filling was delicious and juicy, cost-effective, and the popularity is always reasonable, recommended 3. Jasmine ice soy milk, 6r The taste is sweet, with a lot of jasmine flowers in it, no good or bad 4. Donkey meat fire (didn't ask the price) Thinking that this is not a specialty of my hometown (Baoding, Hebei), it doesn't feel very authentic, so I didn't try it and won't comment 5. Vegetable box (5r), Zhengao (small portion 5r), oil tea twist (4r) I was a little tired and really didn't want to queue, so I didn't try it 6. Bean curd, hawthorn cake, mung bean cake Walk inside, basically there are more locals. Bean curd, hawthorn cake, mung bean cake, these snacks hidden deep in the market, no need to queue, but can bring unexpected surprises, recommended 7. Spicy oil tofu brain (5r) Finally, I was tired of shopping, and I had another spicy oil tofu brain, spicy and tender, which brought a perfect end to this morning market trip. In short, if you don’t like the hustle and bustle of the crowds and want to have a quiet breakfast, it is not recommended to come here. Xi'an also has Dongcangmen Morning Market, Hongzhuan South Road Morning Market, etc.
