Ever since Anthony Bourdain introduced Xi'an Famous Food in NY, I've been hooked on Xi'an cuisine and it's been hard to a place in HK that does Xi'an food. I happened to pass by this place on my way to Ferry Point in Jordan and decided to try it for lunch. The shop was tiny with only one big table and several counter seats. Luckily, there were a few open seats so I didn't have to wait. The signature dish here is the biang biang noodle and you can pair it with dumplings, ribs, wings, etc. The Chi
The signature dish here is the biang biang noodle and you can pair it with dumplings, ribs, wings, etc. The Chinese character for "biang" is so complicated, we started to doubt if it was a real word or not! Hehe.
I chose the biang biang noodle with lamb dumplings ($38). The biang biang noodle was one long and thick strip of noodle! Once mixed with the spicy sauce, it was very appetizing to eat. I found the spicy sauce to be a bit salty though. The lamb dumplings were also very juicy and delicious to eat!
Of course, we had to order the liang pi ($23) but it paled in comparison to the one I had at the Xi'an Famous Foods in the states. The sauce was watery while the liang pi was not as smooth or chewy.
The Xi'an burger ($20) was also disappointing as the meat and the buns were way too dry. I still miss the spicy cumin lamb burger in New York.
Overall, I thought the biang biang noodle was the most interesting aspect at this restaurant. The other items were just okay compared to what I've had before. Unfortunately I don't think there's a lot of restaurants that does Xi'an cuisine in HK, so this may be the best one around.
