Yizhen Building
A truly reputable place, featuring light and mild soup, suitable for those who are just getting to know Paomo. It is said that eating Paomo early and drinking the first soup is the best. The geographical location of Yizhen Building is very advantageous, with a very prominent large signboard, and the store is spacious and clean.
Zhiliang Soup Dumplings
On the narrow alley, it is a place where motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and people squeeze past each other. Coming here to find food requires full mental preparation: being able to weave through traffic, stand by the roadside swatting flies while eating, and endure the noisy car sounds and bustling human voices while waiting on the street.
Lao Jin's Egg and Vegetable Sandwich
Signature egg and vegetable sandwich, with two salted eggs, one fried egg, and rose pickles and peanuts. Two people ordered one sandwich, cut in half. It's not bad, but a bit dry, not to the extent of boasting on social media and reviews. Diners usually pack the sandwich to go and find a place that sells sour plum soup or eight-treasure porridge to eat with it.
Ximu Yogurt
A handmade Muslim yogurt that locals in Dapiyuan never miss! Ximu has chosen milk sources from Jingyang, Shaanxi.
Southeast Asian Zenggao
Hui Min Street, an excellent location, crowded at the street corner. The soft and sweet golden silk jujube paste is thickly spread on freshly steamed glutinous rice, with plenty of soft peanuts and dates. It's not as sweet as you might imagine, so don't worry. Even the small portion for two people is still too much, as glutinous rice is filling and hard to digest. Eat more while it's hot.
Sheng Zhiwang Sesame Sauce Liangpi Shop
Countless awards, excellent reputation, and deliciousness for just a few bucks. The difference between Liangpi and Niangpi lies in whether the gluten is washed away. The flavor mainly relies on vinegar and chili oil, while Sheng's also adds rich sesame sauce, making the taste more complex. The Niangpi itself is chewy yet tender, mixed with the sauce, it's tangy and appetizing. Paired with a cup of Bingfeng, it's perfect.
Fanjia Roujiamo
Claimed to be the best marinated meat in Xi'an.
