Not to be confused with Xi'an Famous Foods. This one (#01-518, 190 Toa Payoh Lorong 6, tel : +65 8693 8921) is singular. 😂 We've known of their existence for a while and I have been wanting to give them a try since.
We had pumpkin millet porridge. Gruel-like consistency with a light pumpkin and grain sweetness. Not bad if you're looking for something less intensely flavoured or if one is under the weather.
One of the things I wanted to try from them was their rou jia mo (肉夹馍). This one was stuffed with pork stir fried with cumin and onions. The bun had a dense and dry 包 like texture similar to those from Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃) and the defunct Xun Qin Ji (寻秦记) than the pastry types at Qin Ji Rougamo (秦記肉夹馍). Loved the cumin-y meaty bite in the strips of pork. I'd eat this again.
The other dish I was curious about was their biang biang mian. The flat noodles looked like they were made from one single long strip. Noodle texture was a little chewy.
The tomato sauce made it tangy and the chilli didn't add much heat. Not even after I put in a couple more spoons of them but those had a nice nutty aroma. Wouldn't mind eating this again but I'll be looking forward to try something else first the next time.
