One of the famous places in Xi’an is the ‘snack street’.
This is a mostly Muslim area, with all the food in the uighur style, from western china.
The food was all delicious, spending about RMB30 – ate like pigs!
Photos are as follows:
Meat Skewers – delicious! Amazingly delicious!
Rice cakes(?)
Spinach and Beef fried bread:
Chinese ‘hamburger’ – roast lamb in bread bun:
Chinese sweets – some sort of cakes:
A short trip to Xi’an during July with Brendon.
We were very lucky to have met a lovely girl (Michelle), on the flight who offered to give us a lift to our hotel and show us around the city.
With most things in China, everything is cute. After arrival, Brendon needed to get some money out so over to the ATM. Spotted this sign board with some very cute police about security for your ATM card.
Our first day, we made a trip to the Terracotta warriors. No tour group, just travelling on our own. To take the bus to the Terracotta warriors – we needed to go to the train station, it was about 3 blooks up the street so we took it on foot.
While walking up the street, we crossed the new subway line under construction (due to be opened later this year).
After arriving at the station and fighting to get through the swarm of people, arguging with the lady to hop on the bus & an hour long bus trip later we arrived at the dig site.
On the way – we passed the university as well as a mountian ( i can’t recall its name) – it was a rain/misty day, looked good to go up – but we were short on time, so we stayed on.
The warrior sites were pretty impressive, huge amounts of it is still not unearthed.
For day two, we had the girl we met picked us up from the Hotel and took us for breakfast.
I’ll post the rest of the day’s trip later in another post.
Went on a mini adventure today to Kowloon City for dinner.
Kowloon city isn’t easily accessible by MTR so we took a bus which dropped us off at the Kowloon Walled City Park.
A short walk through the park and we arrived.
Anyway, cut the story short and just share the food!

I saw this while in Jusco… It’s a Japanese sushi plate, in the shape of Japan!
A new Jusco just opened at the Megabox, quite near my office. Jusco sells mostly Japanese goods, one such thing is these Softdrinks using a glassball as the “cork” in the top. To open it, you push the glass ball into the drink!
Interesting and neat idea, but maybe not worth the $10 a pop.
