The chilly rainy weather of our second evening in New York called for dinner of a more forceful nature. So we bundled up and scampered over to one of the popular Xi’an Famous Foods’ eateries to grab dinner. And oh boy, did their style of North-western Chinese cuisine hit the spot.
I am huge on “mee hoon kway” back home in Singapore and Xi’an Famous Food’s handmade noodles are like its bigger, bolder cousin, which is kind of like the personality of New York. Every wonderfully chewy ribbon of noodle is broad and very, very long (I think there was a grand total of two in one serving 😂) and tasted delicious whether served in the “Spicy & Tingly Beef Noodles” ($9.97) or the “Mt. Qi Pork Noodles In Soup” ($10.10). I did prefer the intensity of flavour in the former, a “dry” version that has the noodles tossed in a super fragrant and spicy “ma la” type of sauce.
I highly recommend ordering the “Tiger Vegetables Salad” ($6.68) as its refreshingly tangy and lightly spicy crispness is a great complement to the steaming hot noodles.
