Zui Chang'an (Belfry Branch)

If you come to Xi'an, you must go to Zui Chang'an to taste the authentic Shaanxi cuisine. The King's Elbow is a modified version of the famous Shaanxi dish "Dali Elbow with Handle". It has an attractive color, the meat is tender and tasty, and it is delicious when mixed with yellow millet. There are also intangible cultural heritage gourd chicken, fried sea bass with oil and garlic, hawthorn goose liver with walnut and persimmon cake, roujiamo, biangbiang noodles, etc. All of them are great! The business is very good and there is a queue at noon.

In August 2020, I went to Xi'an with my good friend. I searched for Zui Chang'an in the Bell and Drum Tower and went to taste it. The store is Chinese style and looks a bit upscale. The waiter's attitude is also very good, and it can be seen that it is a big store. I tasted the gourd chicken, which was very tender and fragrant. I highly recommend it. The hot and sour tripe soup is sour and spicy and very appetizing. It is a very good store and worth a visit.

I came across a store while shopping. There were many people queuing outside. I thought the food must be good, so I simply lined up. There were 16 people in the line, big and small, two tables, and ordered the recommended dishes. The gourd chicken was delicious, and the Miaobishenghua, also known as the Internet-famous brush pastry, tasted good, a little sweet. The other dishes were generally delicious. The restaurant environment is good, the service is very good, two seats together for 900 yuan, the price-performance ratio is OK.

When you arrive in Xi'an, you must have a meal of Shaanxi cuisine, otherwise it will be a bit empty. I think the bubble oil cake is the most beautiful of all Shaanxi dishes, with bamboo fungus flowers on the top and sweet fillings wrapped on the bottom. The gold coin oil tower is shaken out and eaten with dip. There is also hot and sour lamb blood with chili oil flavor, squirrel fish, Miaobishenghua snacks, peach kernel elbow jelly and other dishes are all beautifully presented and decorated, which has changed the previous rough image of Shaanxi cuisine. I also like the smoked and braised pork intestines, which are close to the Sichuan taste. If you want to eat old Shaanxi cuisine, you can come to Zui Chang'an.

On my first day in Xi'an, I went to Zui Chang'an for my first meal. Maybe it's my fate with it (I got off the train and was looking for food, and accidentally walked here. I had heard of its name, so I went in decisively). As soon as I entered the restaurant, several waiters came over to greet me in their native dialect. Although I didn't quite understand it, it was very friendly. I ordered 3 dishes for myself, namely, dried clothes tripe, gourd chicken, and stir-fried lamb with green onions. The waiters' service was very good. They were always nearby and would be there immediately if there was anything. When ordering, the waiters kept reminding me that it was enough and asked me not to order too much. It was really good. In our Wuhan restaurants, they don't care how many people there are. They will keep asking you to order even though they know you can't finish it. Now let's talk about the taste. To be honest, the dried clothes tripe and gourd chicken are okay. It may be a matter of personal taste. I personally prefer the stir-fried lamb with green onions, which is extremely delicious. I will go there again next time I have the chance.

The Bell Tower Restaurant is located at No. 7 Zhubashi, next to the Meihao Lizhi Hotel. The street is not big, but Zui Chang'an is like a good wine that needs no bush, and customers are still coming in droves. The restaurant has three floors, but people have already started to line up at 5 pm. You can eat authentic Xi'an cuisine here, and it is not as rough as the Muslim Street, and the workmanship is very delicate. The taste is really good, and I ordered another dish after finishing two dishes. It is worth a visit.

If you only eat one meal in Xi'an, it must be Zui Chang'an, a landmark restaurant in Xi'an, which is also recommended by Shen Hongfei, the chief director of two episodes of "A Bite of China". I had to queue for a long time to eat the dishes, such as Laoshan Gourd Chicken, Old Vinegar Squirrel Fish, Miaobishenghua, Roujiamo, and Xi'an-style biangbiang noodles and osmanthus wine. Not bad.
