Qintang No. 1 is a Chinese restaurant of the hotel of the same name, which belongs to the local brand of Xi'an. Compared with top local hotels such as Hyatt, Qin and Tang Dynasty have a stronger Shaanxi style and are often dubbed "authentic" by diners. The store did not accept famous seafood such as lobster and abalone, and the aquatic sector was only led by Jiwei shrimp and Jiangtuan. The rest of the categories mostly follow the Shaanxi cooking scheme, and occasionally the dishes have Sichuan and Chongqing characteristics, but they do not deviate from the home-style style, and their portions are more than hotel catering.
In terms of hard dishes, Ziyang steamed pots will naturally not be missed, and further, Qintang No. 1 has additionally launched a "health" version. Compared with the pork bones and pig's trotters used in ordinary steaming pots, the materials are more exquisite, and they are additionally refined with local chicken and pigeon meat with Cordyceps. Ziyang steaming pot is a steamed dish, the high-quality will be steamed for at least 4 hours, Qintang No. 1 production to meet this requirement, its soup body is delicious, the ingredients are abundant, two people can eat to a full stomach. In contrast, the gourd chicken is futile, although the skin is crispy, the meat taste is salty, far less amazing than the health steamer.
Northwest meals are often reminiscent of mutton, and the store has finger meat, which is claimed to be purchased from Ningxia. However, the finished product has a strong smell, but the quality does not match the advertisement. Among the five northwestern provinces, Gan, Ning, and Xincai are more suitable for tasting mutton, and if you dine in Shaanxi, it is obviously a safe plan to avoid the boiled mutton dishes. In contrast, for example, pocket mutton in the store, the flavor of the mutton dish with condiments is better. Spicy mutton blood is a more typical Shaanxi dish, chili noodles and garlic cover up the mutton, the dish is very large, if you can adapt to this "oily" flavor, spicy mutton blood is undoubtedly a Shaanxi-style delicacy, if you are worried about greasy, you can consider the trolley beef.
The trolley beef is a famous dish in the store, the meat slices are lean and tendonous, and there is no dry taste, and it has both marinated flavor and meat aroma. The ingredients are sweet garlic, this sweet and sour pickled vegetables are common in the north, the longer the pickling time, the darker the color, the stronger the sour, sweet, salty and other ingredients, the weaker the garlic aroma and spicy taste, under normal circumstances, the depth of sugar garlic in Qintang No. 1 is moderate.
Thanks to the Internet, the brush cake became popular in Xi'an, and it was a failed creative staple in any restaurant. To taste Qin Tang No. 1, it is better to pay attention to traditional noodles. The old noodle pancake is soft and delicious, and can be eaten without side dishes; The golden thread oil tower is a plate of silk-shaped steamed dough, which is served with sesame oil and garlic flavor dish when eaten; The meat bun is not large, but the meat crumbs are full, and the mouth is satisfying. The biangbiang noodles are the most outstanding, and on the premise of ensuring that the flavor of the oily and spicy seeds does not go out of shape, the amount of side dishes is more sufficient.
The rest of the home-cooked stir-fry has the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine, in terms of materials, rapeseed oil is preferred, the spicy taste is generally not heavy, shredded potatoes, cabbage and other dishes have a sour taste, if you resist this flavor, you may wish to ask in advance. Tender vegetables such as cocoon, dragon's mustard and fennel are not commonly found in other parts of China, and experiencing the taste of "wild vegetables" is also a great pleasure in tasting Shaanxi cuisine. You can also choose rice wine Zuoxing, which is homemade by the store, which is far rarer than the "homemade thick wine" commonly found in the streets.
Located on the second floor of the hotel, Qintang No. 1 uses a clear water membrane floor with wooden elements, tables, chairs, and lights with oriental characteristics, and wine glasses hanging upside down on the edge of the hall bring a bit of mix-and-match. Located in the ancient capital, the store has not forgotten the cultural elements, and many wall decorations choose "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", although the painting was born in the Five Dynasties, and has little to do with Xi'an in the Qin and Tang dynasties, but there is no sense of disobedience.
The restaurant has more than 6 seats, so it is suitable for group dining. Measured by the average level of Xi'an, its service quality is also high-class, and the staff is kind and can guide customers to choose food. It's a pity that the serving speed is slow, which is the biggest shortcoming.
