My good buddy Dude is still in China. Still in Xi'an. Still eating wings.We spoke over the Internet the other night and here are some excerpts from our texted conversation:
Dude: had a KICK ass order of wings last night
Dude: took pics...
WK: Who are you eating with?
Dude: Ted is in the middle & on the right is Alan. Both from england and teach here in xian.
WK: where are you eating?
Dude: its a local noodle/bbq restarant about ten min walk from my apartment.
Dude: great great food
Dude: friendly people
Dude: we don't know the name - its in chinese
Dude: its a family run bbq place - we spent last new years there
WK: when you say BBQ, what do you mean?
Dude: its a noodle shop, but they have a section that will BBQ for you.
Dude: um, how to explain . . .
Dude: like this [Ed. note- photo taken from here: http://www.metaphysicalinstitute.org/newsletters.html ]
Dude: these wings were crispy and so juicy at the same time
WK: are you in the muslim market? what is the name of the area of Xi'an you are eating in?
Dude: we aren't in the muslim area, the area is called east street, bell tower
Dude: we sat there for some noodles ... so I thought I would order a couple of wings ... well we
them ... and thought wow! so we ordered more
WK: what kind of flavour are they?
Dude: im getting the name of the spice now ...
Dude: ok, the flavour is cumin and chili
Dude: the price was 5 yuan for one stick (2 wings) [Ed note: 5 yuan = approx $0.75]
Dude: No side dishes ... just pure meat on a plate
WK: What did the Brits think of them?
Dude: they loved them
Dude: sometimes this place doesn't make them crispy ... so we asked them to cook them well
Dude: to give a rating ... ive had better in xian ... and worse. I give them a 4 out of 5
Thanks Dude for the review and the photos - the wings look really good! Another reason I wish I could go back to China.

Interesting that they are on sticks. Getting messy is half the fun!
ReplyDeleteI like that they are on sticks. Kinda surprised there are chicken wings in China though.
ReplyDelete75 cents for 2 wings is pretty good pricing too.

ReplyDelete@Teena - The sticks are skewers
ReplyDeletewhile they cook them over
charcoal - but I agree, I
love getting in and messy
with wings.
@Swordsman - Chicken Wings are
everywhere! And ya the
price is good.
@Amanda - Thanks - it looks pretty
