Sheep meat, called ram meat, ram meat, and ram meat in ancient times, is one of the most common meats in the world. The texture of mutton is similar to beef, but the meat flavor is stronger. Mutton is more tender than pork, and has less fat and cholesterol than pork and beef.
Mutton refers to the meat from sheep, which can be divided into goat meat, sheep meat and wild sheep meat. It is one of the most common meats in the world. Mutton has low fat and cholesterol content. It can not only protect against cold, but also nourish the body. It is most suitable for consumption in winter, so it is called a winter tonic and is very popular. However, due to the unpleasant smell of sheep, mutton is ignored by some people.
When it comes to Shuipen in Xi'an Huifang, gourmets will recommend you to go to the time-honored Laobai's on Beiguangji Street. The shop has been open for more than 30 years and has a constant flow of diners every day. Shuipen emphasizes that the bone soup must be fresh and fragrant. The reason why his shop is good is that the soup is rich in flavor. The difference between ordinary and high-quality is only the amount of meat, which is up to people to choose, and the meat is also soft, delicious and fragrant. After eating Shuipen soup, you can refill it and add coriander. In addition, his braised pig tendon and braised beef are also recommended, which are sold at a special stall at the door. It is worth noting that his shop will close for a break between 2pm and 5pm, so if you want to taste the delicious food, you should pay attention to the time.
The restaurant is doing quite well, and it is usually full of people. The taste is really good. Compared with other similar restaurants, it is very powerful. My friends brought me here before, and now I bring my friends here. It is quite good~~~ It is an old place in old Xi'an. The meat is fresh, the soup is sufficient, and the vermicelli and coriander are added. Add more oil and chili, soak some toto steamed buns in it, and slurp them with the soup and steamed buns. Oh, it smells so good! It's great! I recommend everyone to try it. The taste is particularly good. The hall of the "Niudian" that closes at the end is not small. It is actually "full" at mealtime, and most of them are "a little older" locals. The water basin (divided into ordinary and high-quality) is actually "drinking soup to sell", and comes with "a steamed bun and a plate of sugar garlic". Needless to say, the mutton soup is "very delicious", the mutton is "soft and rotten", and the vermicelli is "tough". Drinking a bowl of it "hot" in winter is super cool! Don't be afraid of summer, "two bottles of iced Bingfeng will do", and you will have the same fun.
[Shocked] I just realized that I forgot to review the place I visited last summer vacation, so I am here to make up for it now. When traveling to Xi'an, it is a must to visit Huimin Street and eat Shuipen mutton. I accidentally entered this store because it has air conditioning [sweating]. People from the south can't stand the high temperature in the northwest. The temperature of more than 40 degrees feels like you can bleed from your nose in minutes. I simply ordered some food and asked for a large quantity. And there were surprises again and again! Don't worry about not getting used to it. Northwest mutton has no smell of mutton, only meat fragrance. {Liangpi} Liangpi is chewy, which is completely different from the wet Liangpi eaten in Shanghai. Mahjong is fragrant and smooth. I immediately finished it, but it was too filling. {Shuipen mutton} The meat is fragrant and the soup is very fresh. Baiji steamed buns are washed and arranged into the desired size, absorb the soup, and are soft but not rotten. The taste of sugar garlic is average. {Jiang beef} It feels like Shanghai five-spice beef, but the variety of meat here is much better than that bought in Shanghai. It is crispy and tender. I originally planned to buy some food on the day I returned home. I just found out that most of the stores here are closed at noon. *After the show was shown on the tip of a tongue, I wonder if the quality of the stores will decline?
On Huimin Street, there are all kinds of steamed buns and noodle restaurants, which dazzle you. You are also frightened by the horns of various cars at any time. You hide and hide. You clearly marked the places you want to go in the guide, but you pass by them repeatedly and miss them repeatedly. Lao Bai's Shuipen Lamb is one of them, and it is also the most famous one. Fortunately, when I visited Huimin Street for the second time, I went straight to the topic without any interference. I am unfamiliar with many things in Xi'an. Although I have made a guide, I still can't tell the difference between Shuipen Lamb and Mutton Soup Steamed Bun. In the end, I summarized that the basic ingredients are similar, both have mutton and steamed buns. It is very hard to break the steamed buns. If you are not careful, you will expose yourself as an outsider. I always do it in the opposite order. Haha, if there is a difference, it is that the form of expression is a little different. Steamed buns are divided into dead dough and leavened dough. The Shuipen Lamb bowl is bigger and more exciting. There is a reason for eating in reverse order, that is, you can drink a sip of the original hot soup to wake up your stomach, eat a bite of the fat and lean mutton that melts in your mouth, then sip the vermicelli in the mutton soup, and finally take a bite of the steamed bun, and instantly feel like a authentic northwestern person.
I went to HSBC on West Street to do some business this morning, and stopped by Lao Bai's. There was a sign saying "Indigenous" at the door. Recently, many old brands in Fangshang have put up signs saying "Indigenous" because people from Gansu and Ningxia have come back to do business in Fangshang, using the name of Fangshang to spoil the taste of Fangshang. The flood of Lao Mi's steamed buns is an example. Bai's water basin tastes the same as always. For some reason, the air conditioner is not turned on. Drinking soup in summer makes you sweat profusely. The man selling Lao Bai's ten-spice braised pork at the door is a ragtag person, who may be the third generation of the Bai family.
