To say that Xi'an's steamed buns, in fact, there are many types, but the most mentioned should be ordinary steamed buns and heavy flavor of small stir-fry.
In fact, small stir-fry has a long history in Xi'an, which is more suitable for friends who like to eat heavier. However, for me, I still prefer small stir-fry.
Many foreign friends come to Xi'an, generally preferred to go to Muslim Street (Fangshang) to eat steamed buns. Of course, many places in Muslim Street have been complained about, but it is undeniable that there are still some word-of-mouth online stores.
Today with a friend, go to the Hongbu Street on the shop to eat small stir-fry, this shop I have been to three or four times before, online reviews are also a variety of opinions, but for me the taste is not bad.
This time I brought my friend here because my friend is about to leave Xi'an and eat an authentic Shaanxi specialty food, which is also a farewell.
The name of the shop is Ma Hong Small Stir-fried Steamed Bun Restaurant, and since the small stir-fry is placed in front of the steamed bun, it must be based on small stir-fry.
I had heard that this store was very old before I came, and now it looks like the environment of the store is quite good, of course, this was renovated once a few years ago, I still remember the storefront before the renovation, to be honest, it is a bit shabby.
Although the previous store was dilapidated, the business was not bad, probably in 2018, when I brought my friends from Beijing to eat here, the environment was really not good, but the business was surprisingly good. We specially picked two o'clock in the afternoon that day, thinking that there would be fewer people who did not eat the meal, who knew that at two o'clock in the afternoon to eat, from breaking steamed bread to eating the first bite actually waited for more than an hour.
Of course, this time is no exception, although it is within the week, there are still many people...
Netizens said that the price of his home is expensive, but I made a comparison and found that the bubble bun downstairs of our unit is also at this price, but the small bubble bun restaurant opposite the unit is indeed cheaper.
Bubble steamed buns themselves are relatively expensive food in Xi'an, and the shops with similar specifications to his family are basically at this price, but his family's business is still good.
Good business natural popularity is also hot, all kinds of online evaluations are there, this we have a say. After all, I don't live near Muslim Street, so I don't usually come to eat, but if a friend asks me to take it with me, I usually choose here. The taste of his home itself is also heavy, but we are good at this bite, and I think it is nothing to eat once in a while to relieve hunger.
The waiting time is still quite long, I originally wanted to invite my friend to eat a small stir-fry, but my friend said that he wanted to eat steamed buns, which disrupted my plan.
The waiting time is still quite long, after serving it, I feel that the soup is a little wide (soup more), I took a small bowl to taste some, as for the taste... Decent!
It may be that I am used to eating small stir-fry, and I feel that the taste of the steamed bun is a little dull, but in terms of heart, the taste of the steamed bun is indeed general.
Or look at the taste of the small stir-fry (served up was divided into three parts, just when I went to boo, after coming back has been a cup and plate mess, take pictures afraid of affecting the beauty, with the previous picture instead, in addition to the egg other looks basically no difference)!
His small stir-fry I think the taste is still quite online, will be more heavy, if you do not like to eat too heavy taste of food, it is recommended to give the master a word in advance.
Although the taste is heavy, I personally still like it, I can eat the taste of vinegar, of course, this is not necessarily everyone likes, but it is indeed distinctive (most people should still be able to accept, otherwise how can there be so many people in the store).
Compared with the small stir-fry at the same price, I think his family is a good taste, and the small stir-fry downstairs of our unit is also sold at this price, but I personally feel that I will still lose slightly in taste.
Remember to bring the water with you in advance, or remember to order the ice peak when you place an order, because it is indeed easy to be thirsty after eating.
In addition, his family also has barbecue, which should be the shop next door, which is said to be opened by the owner's brother, so it can be ordered at his house.
The roast meat is quite large, the cost performance is quite high, the taste is the taste of the traditional Xi'an barbecue, since you come to eat the steamed buns, how can you get less barbecue?
From the time we ate to the end of the meal, the people in the store have not stopped, in the week is this flow of people, the weekend can be imagined, you can see that the business is indeed hot.
I have a few friends around me who often come to this restaurant to eat, and most of them give good reviews. The steamed bun feels average, and the small stir-fry is still good. The price is more expensive than some shops, the taste is slightly heavier, and the environment is good.
Basically, the feeling is like this, if you eat yourself, I think there is no problem in occasionally relieving hunger, or it is also a good choice to feast on friends from other places.
The only drawback was that the wait was too long, and this time the meal was eaten for almost two hours. #吃在西安 #
