Chopped pepper fish head is the main dish of almost every Xi'an Hunan restaurant, and it seems to be a representative work of Hunan cuisine. The preparation method of chopped pepper fish head is similar, but the taste of each family is different, the height is different, and the difference is mainly reflected in the texture of the fish head and the pepper used. As the leader of Xifan Hunan Restaurant, the chopped pepper fish head has an outstanding level and excellent taste, attracting many diners. Founded in 2006, Xifan is a local Hunan cuisine shop in Xi'an, which has been tepid and mainly serves regular customers.

The biggest signature of the restaurant is the homemade chopped pepper fish head, which is embedded in the restaurant's name, and the homemade chopped pepper is the heart of the dish. The restaurant uses Hunan Liling horn chili peppers, also known as "glass peppers" because of their bright color, bright and clear, and their fiery red and gorgeous appearance arouses the appetite. Not only is the appearance outstanding, the taste of Liling pepper is good, its flesh is thick and the seeds are few, slightly sweet, fermented to make chopped pepper, the spicy taste is mellow and strong, and there is a hint of sweetness. The head of the other protagonist is taken from the silver carp, which is fresh and has no muddy smell, and the meat is fat and tender. Just the right steaming time makes the fish head fresh and fragrant locked in the meat, and the taste of chopped pepper penetrates into the fish meat, the fish head is glutinous and soft, the entrance is delicate, and the chopped pepper is salty, spicy and refreshing, but it does not take away the umami of the fish head itself. Xi Fan also added a candle flame at the bottom of the plate to heat, and the high temperature made the spicy taste even heavier, which made many diners addicted, and they were deeply impressed by the taste, hoping to reproduce the flavor, and Xi Fan also took the opportunity to sell canned chopped peppers. It takes a certain amount of time for the fish head to be steamed, and the order volume is large during peak hours, so it is recommended that diners order the fish head first and then carefully select other dishes.

Chopped pepper fish head is the absolute protagonist of Xi Fan, and the other dishes are also quite rich, but most of the categories are mediocre. If the acceptable spiciness, the spicy level is not high, and the shrimp in the iron pot is a good choice, that is, it retains the salty flavor of Hunan cuisine, but it is not spicy. Spread the green onion flat as a mat, cover the marinated shrimp meat on it, then pour the fried garlic sauce, sprinkle with millet pepper, and simmer for 6 minutes after serving. The umami and garlic aroma of shrimp gradually become rich as the temperature rises, satisfying the appetite. The tender and elastic shrimp meat is mixed with crispy minced garlic, and the salty, sweet and fresh flavor of the shrimp is quite suitable for the garlic and onion aroma, and the aftertaste of the food is delicious. In addition, the heat preservation effect of the iron pot also slows down the loss of flavor. Casserole chicken is also worth recommending, with slightly charred skin, firm flesh and chewy texture. The chicken is more flavorful when chopped into small pieces, and it is fragrant at first and a little greasy afterwards.

In addition to the spicy and oily signature dishes, the restaurant also offers a number of non-spicy dishes to satisfy the general diners, such as classic home-cooked dishes such as steamed sea bass, shredded pork with fish flavor, and plum cabbage button pork, as well as refreshing and light dishes such as pear mixed with bitter chrysanthemum, chicken hair cabbage in soup, and steamed eggs to relieve greasy and harmonious tastes. Overall, there are a variety of dishes in Xifan, which can not only satisfy the spicy people, but also take care of the public's taste, but the most outstanding are still the heavy Hunan dishes such as chopped pepper fish head and iron pot green onion and shrimp, while the others are mediocre.

In terms of service, although the restaurant adopts self-service ordering to alleviate work pressure, there is still a shortage of manpower during the peak dining period, the waiters are enthusiastic but not efficient, the demand response is not timely, and the serving speed is slow, which affects the dining experience.
