The high-rise building at the northwest corner of the bell tower is really eye-catching. The facade decorated in Chinese style, I really want to know what it is used for. This time, I finally had the opportunity to go there with my family to find out. Their family is actually a dumpling shop founded in 1936 - Defachang. It has won too many honors, including National Special Class Restaurant, China AAAAA Green Hotel, and Guinness World Record. And the skill of making dumplings has been selected into the Shaanxi Province Intangible Cultural Heritage List. It can be said that it is a truly powerful Chinese time-honored brand. The space inside the store is particularly large, and the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the windows are the best viewing spots for the bell tower! Don't miss this great opportunity to eat here. Queen Mother Hotpot🍲 The soup base is made of chicken, mushrooms, and chicken mushrooms. Cook the world's smallest chicken breast stuffed pearl dumplings. The soup tastes delicious and refreshing~ Twenty-four solar terms dumplings🥟 Mainly use Chinese toon and Chinese chrysanthemum with big meat as stuffing. The dumplings are made by hand, with thin skin and large stuffing, and they are super satisfying to eat~ The appearance looks super good, and the tiger skin looks very appetizing. Special sour soup dumplings🥟 The sour soup is the soul, made with oil and chili peppers. The secret sour soup is red, oily, sour, and spicy, sour and spicy. Dumplings are even more so. The thin skin, large stuffing, and narrow edges of the handmade elements are indispensable. In short, I really experienced the characteristics of Chinese dumplings this time. And it can be said to be one of the best dumplings I have ever eaten. I really love sour soup dumplings. I am so afraid that my mouth will be picky. I can't eat dumplings from other places in the future, hahahaha
New-style Shaanxi cuisine, it really grabs me! I want to take my family out to improve the food on the weekend, and my friend recommended this very good new-style Shaanxi cuisine in Xi'an to me.

Needless to say, Defachang is famous, just like Laosun's Pao Mo in Xi'an, which is well-known and on the list of Xi'an delicacies. However, as a Xi'an native, it is rare to eat in these restaurants where tourists gather. If it weren't for my foreign friends who suggested trying Xi'an's dumpling banquet, I think there would be no chance to come to this restaurant~ Most of the diners are tourists, and locals rarely come here to eat. Apart from the fame of the dumpling banquet, the taste is indeed more general, and the cost performance is not high. There are group purchases in the store, which saves the trouble of choice difficulty. A variety of packages can be chosen at will. I came here at around 6 pm. I thought the store would be full of customers, but I didn't expect there were so few diners. The store is quite large, with everything from small tables to private rooms. And the back is far away from the lobby, and it is also quite quiet, without any hustle and bustle. It feels like a fast food restaurant, ordering at the counter and taking a number. The clerk will look at the number and deliver the meal. There are not many people, and the speed of serving is also relatively fast. As soon as I sat down, the clerk pushed a cart of side dishes out. The taste of cold beef is OK, but it is too strong for foreign friends, who keep drinking drinks to relieve the saltiness. The snack platter includes leek cakes, golden silk cakes, and pancakes. They are cold when they are served, and they don’t taste very good. This kind of cake should be eaten while hot, and the warm and crispy taste is better. Three cups of lime orange juice drinks, which are blended with juice powder, have a strong flavor. Dumplings are the focus of the dumpling feast. The set meal includes one solar term dumpling, one three-fresh dumpling, and one ecological vegetable dumpling. The skin is too thick, which weakens the delicious taste of the dumplings. It is better to dip them in pepper oil and vinegar. The fillings in the dumplings are still sufficient, and the skin will be better if it is thinner.
Xi'an's very representative dumpling banquet, each dumpling is handmade. The restaurant is right next to the bell tower, a three-story building imitating the Tang Dynasty, which attracts passers-by and many foreign tourists. The taste is proportional to the service, which I think is particularly valuable, because many restaurants and restaurants will rely on their fame and have poor service attitudes. Although Defachang seems to be a restaurant dedicated to receiving tourists, it is a restaurant worth recommending from hardware to software. The service is very good. Every time a dumpling comes up, the waiter will patiently explain it. Although there are many people and every waiter is very busy, they can still insist on explaining every dumpling. The taste is also very good, and it is not particularly commercialized because of the large number of customers. It is true that every dumpling is made in the back kitchen, which guarantees the quality of every dumpling.
This restaurant can be ranked in the top ten in the Xi'an food list. There were not many people in the restaurant (probably because of the Chinese New Year), so we chose a window seat and enjoyed the beautiful view of the bell tower outside the window while eating. We chose a set meal of 138 yuan. The names of the dumplings were obviously carefully named, such as Monkey King Entering the Palace, Emerald Cabbage, Lotus Pods Emerging from the Water, Four Joys Coming, etc. The waiter explained each dish, but unfortunately I was so focused on eating that I didn't listen to anything. Recommendations: Special Sour Soup Dumplings, Empress Dowager Hot Pot. Many dumplings are very spicy, which my son doesn't like. The meal cost more than 400 yuan, which is a bit expensive. On the way back to the hotel, we conducted a firepower reconnaissance of the Hui Muslim snack street, and I plan to go to sweep the street tomorrow^^^
The location is right next to the Jinhua Square between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, and the black lacquer and gold-lettered sign is quite eye-catching. The Bell Tower Store has a downstairs and a second floor. The downstairs mainly serves fast-food dumplings, with a simple decoration, cheap prices, and a high cost-effectiveness ratio; the second floor is mainly for ordering classic dumpling banquets, with a high-end decoration and a high price, but you can buy group purchases, which are still cost-effective, and you can buy and use them immediately without making reservations in advance, which is very convenient. The two of us bought two dumpling banquets in a group. The waiter did not treat us differently because of the group purchase, and was very enthusiastic to introduce the products and eating methods. It is said that except for cold dishes and a large plate of cabbage and pork dumplings, the others are freshly wrapped and steamed special dumplings. There are many varieties, and there are dumplings with various fillings and styles. Each dumpling is 1 per person, which is dazzling, haha, and the taste is also good. Finally, the Queen Mother Hot Pot Dumplings came up, and the waiter also told us the origin of this dumpling and sent blessings based on the number of dumplings we picked up! The portions were large and I was quite full. If you didn't want to try the dumplings of different flavors, I would suggest buying a dumpling banquet and ordering some other dishes. The two of us didn't finish our meals and had to pack them for midnight snacks... But the bad thing about this place is that after we were almost done eating, the waiters came over to sell us the so-called Shaanxi specialties, which is a bit like the way restaurants receive tourist groups. I don't like it...
A century-old specialty food restaurant, specializing in a wide variety of dumplings. The dumpling banquet is especially famous, and tourists from home and abroad flock to it. There are more than a dozen kinds of dumplings on the banquet, each with its own merits, and the waiter will explain the story and production method one by one. Taste the delicious food, learn about history, and gain a lot...
