In the depths of Jianzhong Lane on Daqing Road, in a small shop of more than ten square meters, three or four dining tables have been crowded, so several low tables and stools have been placed on the sidewalk on the opposite street, which is the whole picture of Shengwa's barbecue. Compared with Pei Lao's family, the atmosphere of Sheng Wa's barbecue is much more gentle. Ten strings of starting points, do not rank, urge a few more times, the strings can always be served. There are also diners who are worried about missing the wrong order, so they simply wait by the oven. The proprietress of Shengwa barbecue speaks a Xi'an dialect, takes special care of regular customers, and will reserve meat skewers for those who greet in advance, and we can only recommend going early for ordinary diners.
Sheng Wa's skewers are described in Xi'an dialect as "beautiful". The roasted tendons are large, the heat is properly controlled, and the burnt flavor is not mushy. Kebabs are fat and lean, with a rich aroma and rich in fat. Roasted loin is worth recommending, it refers to the beef loin, roasted loin has high requirements for the freshness of ingredients, processing methods and grilling, so roasted loin is also an important symbol that can best reflect the quality of a kebab shop. The sirloin is required to be fresh and cannot be left overnight. Secondly, only one-third of a sirloin is suitable for consumption, and the rest of the sirloin will have an unpleasant smell of beef if it remains. Finally, the heat is grasped, and the roasted waist pays attention to freshness, so it should not be too old and cannot be sandwiched. The roasted loin on the table should be eaten while it is hot, a string of qualified roasted loin, no smell, crispy and refreshing. In addition to meat skewers, Sheng Wa's family does not provide shabu-shabu, and grilled buns are the only pairing. Different from grilled naan, the bun is thick, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and can be eaten on meat skewers by cutting into pieces, or the meat can be sandwiched in the bun to eat.
The barbecue master of Shengwa Barbecue has experienced in the control of the heat of the grill, and even after the charcoal grill was changed to a clean oven, the taste of the skewers did not change much, and the production was very stable. The meat quality of Shengwa barbecue is fresh, and the meat skewers are limited every day, while stocks last. There is no menu, and the meat skewers are stored in a transparent refrigerator and grilled to order. It is open from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for three hours only, and the store is closed irregularly. There is a constant stream of diners, and the demand for meat skewers is often in short supply.
Most local diners are obsessed with charcoal-grilled meat skewers, and they have a soft spot for smoky meat skewers grilled over charcoal, claiming that they eat "fireworks". However, from a health point of view, meat is prone to produce and attach toxic substances such as benzopyrene compounds during the charcoal fire smoking process, which is potentially harmful to the human body. Since May 1, 2013, the Xi'an Municipal Government has required all food and beverage barbecue establishments (stalls) along the street to strictly prohibit the use of charcoal barbecue and switch to clean fuels.
