Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃), 321 Clementi

Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃), 321 Clementi

The last time we ate at Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights was when they were back at Grantral Mall in Clementi Central. They've shifted some blocks away to their current location (#02-08, 321 Clementi, 321 Clementi Ave. 3) at a mall called 321 Clementi.

Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃), spicy & sour shredded potato 炝拌土豆丝

Their potato strips aren't flavoured like what we normally used to. They were 炝拌 instead of 酸辣 which we generally prefer. I'm not sure what 炝拌 means but they did not taste bad. I'm just not a fan of their rendition.

Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃), cucumber 凉拌黄瓜

Marinated cucumbers not bad tasting. They're 凉拌 - which is a Chinese salad/cold dish kind of dressing which was savoury and not spicy.

I wanted get their rou jia mo again because they left an impression the last time we had them. They were as delicious as we remembered with those buns dripping juices/oil from the braised pork from almost each bite.

Noodle's called 油泼扯面 which translates into oil splashed dragged/pulled noodles.

The featured noodles were wide, hand pulled and doused with chilli oil that was mostly savoury and with moderated heat. The spice intensity was milder than the appearance suggested. This was extra spicy and it wasn't that spicy. It was delicious though with great texture from those noodles and the portions were huge.

Huang Tu Di Xi’An Delights (黄土地西安小吃), biang biang mian

Biang biang mian which featured the same wide noodles with their zha jiang sauce and tomato sauce with egg. The zha jiang has the dominant flavour from fermented black beans which I liked. Gotta come back some day for their zha jiang mian.

So, Xi'an's version of Fanta Orange which is probably Nutrigraded D. I don't know for sure but it tasted that way. 😬
