Tourists often overlook the Shaanxi Alley Old Restaurant, which is a small shop with distinct advantages and disadvantages, and is extremely cost-effective, which is very suitable for tasting noodles and snacks.
The biggest disadvantage of the restaurant is the lack of "hardness" of hard dishes. The most able to come out is the gourd chicken, stone-cooked pot shrimp, both produced without success, the latter even has a little main dish characteristics, this dish is more common in Xi'an, in addition to prawns, other Shaanxi restaurants may also have a variety of versions of pot chicken nuggets, beef, etc.
Due to the lack of hard dishes, the old restaurant is not suitable for formal banquets, but the quality of snacks and pastries is extremely amazing. The old oil cake is definitely not to be missed, the meal is made of leaven noodles, semi-circular, hollow, its clear oil flavor is not sharp, the face aroma is very obvious, and the fennel flavor used for decoration is almost negligible. It should be noted that the amount of oil cake is sufficient, and you can order it according to 2 people/1 sheet, and a single oil cake has been divided into two pieces. There are several side dishes in the restaurant, such as shredded potatoes, pickles, minced garlic side dishes, shredded kelp, shredded carrots, etc., or temporarily adjusted according to the season and meal preparation plan. It is recommended to give preference to shredded carrots, which have a better flavor in comparison.
In addition, the pastry plate also has bud stubble, northern Shaanxi jujube cake, alley flower rolls, flag flower noodles, etc., which bring a strong sense of "coarse grain". The staple food in the store is not limited to the pastry section, but also covers the hot and cold side dishes, such as mustard dumplings, stuffed skin, dough, jelly noodles, etc., which are all made of grain flour and inevitably contain a lot of starch. You can pay attention to the churning dough, which is a hot food, and its beige soft lump is made of cornmeal, and the grain aroma is more obvious than that of stuffed skin and rice skin.
The rest of the dishes in the museum are not much, they are all ordinary side dishes such as sour and hot cabbage, spicy seeds and blood nourishment, the flavor is not bad, but it is also difficult to show the highlights, and the details are not detailed. The price of a single dish in the old restaurant in the alley is about 15-35 yuan, and the price of the main food is likely to be less than 10 yuan, and the amount of dishes is not too much, even if the stomach space is limited, you can also have the opportunity to taste more meals.
Shaanxi cuisine can often feel the flavor novelty when tasting it for the first time, but because the staple food is too rich, it is often greasy to eat for a long time. When dining at an old restaurant, look out for chrysanthemum tofu soup with roasted apples and mash, the former is a fresh-tasting tofu soup with a dash of chrysanthemum leaves. Baked apples with mash are a derivative of mash, and this dessert balances the taste of a variety of sour, spicy and savory dishes.
In order to highlight the space, the store has an open kitchen and abandons the box plan, so it is not crowded, and the simple and modern decoration style brings a little literary atmosphere. There are many restaurants in Xi'an that are suitable for staple pastries, and in this category, the environment of the old restaurant in Shaanxi Lane is almost the best.
The level of service is also the ceiling of a restaurant of the same level, and if a guest hangs his clothes on the back of his chair, the junior staff will even be able to actively cover the cloth, a detail that is usually only found in hotel restaurants. If the level of hard dishes can be improved, the old restaurant in Shaanxi Alley will undoubtedly have a better performance.
