Without improving dishes or compromising tastes, the Russian kitchen has won the favor of Xi'an diners with its authentic Russian cuisine.
Russia is located in an alpine region, in order to maintain heat, Russian cuisine is generally high in calories, strong in flavor and easy to store, such as the most well-known beetroot soup and big bar, which are two classic Russian dishes. Beetroot soup is generally believed to have originated in Ukrainian cuisine, and at the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of Russians lived in Shanghai and also brought beetroot soup to China, and the current common borscht is actually a Chinese variant of beetroot soup. The traditional beetroot soup in the Russian kitchen has a bright red and oily body, a crisp and tender texture of silky beetroot, and a different hearty and fresh sour taste brought by lemon juice.
Russian whole wheat bread is one of the most important staple foods in Russia, and it is often called Da Ba in China, which is transliterated from Russian. Because it often needs to be stored for a long time, the internal moisture content is low, and the skin is crispy and hard after baking. The big gin of the Russian kitchen has a salty and sweet flavor, and both breads can be tasted with rich wheat and lactic aromas, and the taste is authentic.
After the meal bag and soup, all kinds of "big meat" are the highlight of a Russian meal. Braised beef in a canned can be a classic Russian dish, the beef is supplemented by various vegetables, stewed for a long time, slightly sweet and sour, and has a faint buttery fragrance, and the taste is fragrant and delicate. Russian skewers are also a masterpiece of the restaurant, each skewer uses 500g of meat, and the roasting time is more than 30 minutes, including chicken, lamb, beef and beef tongue. The skewers are seasoned only with pepper and other spices, and are not sprinkled with cumin, which is a favorite among Xi'an diners, and some hardcore diners think the taste is a little light.
The hot dishes in the Russian kitchen are abundant, and even if they are shared by many people, they are easy to get greasy in the later stage, and pickled cucumber and Russian kvass drink are the best partners to relieve greasyness. Kvass is made from fermented brown bread with an alcohol content of around 1% and a taste similar to German rye juice. The Internet celebrity cocktail "Baikal Blue" is not recommended to order, and the bartender's production is very unstable, either too sweet or too much alcohol.
The Russian-style kitchen occupies a two-storey western-style building on Jixiang Road, with a retro crystal table with soft lighting, a wrought iron lace fence and greenery, a number of retro oil paintings hanging neatly on the walls, and a lively matryoshka doll on the dining table. The restaurant is enthusiastic, and the waiters in Russian clothes lead you to the seats, but the dining atmosphere is noisy, and the speed of serving food decreases during peak hours. The Russian kitchen has Russian song and dance performances at noon and evening every day, and interested customers can call the merchant in advance.
