Walking into the banquet hall, the gorgeous lights illuminated the entire hall, making it elegant and lively.
Chinese-style carved wooden dining tables and chairs, exquisite and elegant lotus gold porcelain tableware, and exquisite dining tables with lanterns hanging on them make this Tang-style building more antique. Waiters dressed in various Tang Dynasty styles shuttled between the tables and chairs, making people feel as if they had traveled back to the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, as grand as attending a palace feast.
One after another palace feasts with strong Xi’an characteristics were placed on the dining table.
Qinchuan five-spice beef, imperial concubine ginseng, sweet and sour short ribs and many other cold dishes are unique in shape and refreshing in taste, and are very delicious.
Gourd chicken can be regarded as one of the most representative specialties in Shaanxi cuisine. The golden gourd chicken has crispy skin and smooth meat, and the flavor is soaked directly into the bones without a trace of dry meat. When picked up with chopsticks, the already fragrant chicken is directly separated from the bones, and the bones are also fragrant and soft.
The soup shaped like a whole pumpkin has a nice name: Cui Ke Man Yuan. I thought it was pumpkin soup, but I didn’t expect it to be boiled with lotus seeds, lilies, and ginkgo fruits. It has a silky and glutinous texture, mixed with the sweet aroma of pumpkin, and is very delicious.
Steamed turbot is a regular at dinner parties. The fish meat is firm and fragrant, making people want to stop eating.
How can you come to Xi’an without special snacks? The most classic one is of course Roujiamo. In order to consider the appetite of the guests, the original palm-sized portions were reduced to palm-sized portions, one for two bites, which won my heart.
The soft puff pastry is also so delicious that you can’t stop eating it.
The diamond-shaped pastries that looked like pancakes were actually made of fish. The fish meat is minced to a pulp, silky and smooth, and elastic to the teeth. You can’t taste any fish meat at all, but when you bite into the pancake, the full flavor of fish meat fills your entire mouth. It’s really delicious. And high.
After having enough wine and food, it is natural to have a wonderful performance to make it feel more perfect. The dinner scene can be said to be lively and lively with singing and dancing. Imitation Tang dance, Shaanxi cross talk, and melodious singing surrounded the entire venue. What I like the most is the Xi’an paper-cutting performance and Huayin old tune, which are known as world cultural heritage.
The New Year’s Eve dinner ended quietly with wonderful performances and delicious dishes. It is really exciting and very lucky to experience an authentic “Shaanxi style” New Year’s Eve dinner on New Year’s Eve.
