It's packed with both muslim Chinese street food and Xi'an style Chinese street food too. My friend Alex  @Just_Food  is visiting China for the first time, and I brought him around to try the real deal Muslim Chinese cuisine. It was awesome to see his reacti to trying authentic Chinese food for the first time in China! Xi’an has a very vibrant Hui Muslim Chinese community, and the Muslim quarter street food here is next level. This district is packed with delights! This is where Chinese and Middle Eastern flavors combine. Lots of garlic, hand pulled noodles, fatty and juicy lamb, cumin, and flatbread. This creates one of the most delicious cuisines in the world. This is the birthplace of the silk road, and this food traveled across Central Asia into the Middle East and also influenced cooking in Europe. In this video (part 2 of 4), we try some of the most iconic Muslim Chinese street foods and also non-halal street foods you must eat in Xi’an: 东仓门早市 (Dongcangmen Morning Market) We started the day at Dongcangmen Morning Market, one of Xi’an’s busiest street food spots. First up was Jinggao — a sticky rice street cake filled with sweet red bean paste. Soft, chewy, and slightly smoky from the griddle, it’s a Xi’an breakfast classic (Price: 5 RMB / ~$0.70 USD). Next we tried a Chinese Jianbing Crepe, this version spread with bean paste and stuffed with two eggs. Crispy, savory, and sweet all in one bite — the ultimate breakfast street snack (Price: 8 RMB / ~$1.10 USD). We also had Shuijianbao, juicy pan-fried buns served with vinegar and chili oil — only 1 RMB for three! Finally, we warmed up with a spicy, peppery bowl of Hulatang, Xi’an’s famous hot pepper soup packed with vegetables and tofu. 张凌峰肉夹馍 (Zhang Lingfeng Roujiamo) Next we stopped for Roujiamo, often called the “Chinese hamburger.” This one was one of the most loaded Roujiamo I’ve ever eaten — stuffed to the brim with slow-braised pork and a huge slice of fatty pork skin that melted in your mouth. Juicy, rich, and perfectly tucked inside the crispy baked flatbread. Price: 13 RMB (~$1.80 USD). We also had a bowl of Liangpi, Xi’an’s famous cold skin noodles. Served with chili oil, garlic, and vinegar, it’s the perfect refreshing side dish to balance out the richness of the Roujiamo. 老何家卤汁凉粉 (Lao Hejia Luzhi Liangfen) After that, we visited Lao Hejia for their famous Luzhi Liangfen — jelly noodles mixed with crumbled Chinese mo flatbread. It came topped with century egg and drenched in chili oil, garlic, mustard, and the shop’s signature spiced vinegar. Tangy, spicy, and deeply savory, this is one of Xi’an’s most iconic and flavorful street snacks. Price: 11 RMB (~$1.50 USD). Back Alley Uyghur Stall – Kaobaozi Deep in a hidden back alley, we found a Uyghur vendor selling freshly baked Kaobaozi — giant meat buns stuffed with a juicy mix of beef and rich lamb fat. Each bun was loaded with flavor from his secret cumin spice blend, making them smoky, aromatic, and incredibly satisfying. 老刘家泡馍 (Lao Liu Jia Paomo) We finished with one of Xi’an’s most legendary dishes — Yangrou Paomo (pita bread soaked in lamb soup). At Lao Liu Jia, you first break the dense flatbread into small pieces by hand, then it’s simmered in a rich, aromatic mutton broth. The result is a hearty, flavorful stew that represents the soul of Xi’an’s Muslim food culture. Price: 45 RMB (~$6.20 USD). 瑞宝斋马峰酸汤水饺 (Ruibaozhai Mafeng Suantang Shuijiao) We also tried Suantang Shuijiao — spicy and sour boiled dumplings swimming in a hot, tangy broth. The sourness comes from fermented vinegar and chili, giving each dumpling a bold kick of flavor. We got 24 dumplings for just 19 RMB (~$2.60 USD), making this one of the best-value meals in Xi’an. I hope you enjoy this street food video with my friend Alex! It was so much fun showing him around Xi’an and introducing him to Hui Muslim Chinese street food!
