First Layover - Xi'An Day 2

Woke up abit late on the 2nd day.
Since today is also shopping day.
Does not have much motivation to wake up though.

Today we had breakfast at Sofitel.
Was staying in Grand Mecure Hotel.
But Sofitel is also the sister hotel.
You just need to add another 40RMB to try their breakfast there. 
Buffet breakfast for only $8, why not!!

After that, we went to Muslim Street (回民街)
Its like Malaysia's pasar malam.
Its a whole stretch of street with goods and street food.
This is also the first time where the whole set of crew came along.
Except for the dinner in Hai Di Lao.

 One of their street food.
Spicy Tofu (麻辣豆腐)
Food in Xi'An are mostly spicy.
Do train yourself to get used with the spicy taste before you come here.
If not you will miss out a lot of food. 

 Their famous BBQ meat.
They have pork, beef and also mutton.
But one thing, they recycle the stick.
Means you are not only tasting the BBQ meat, but also some other people's saliva.
P/S: I did not try this.
 Surprisingly, Xi'An is very famous for their yogurt drink.
Different from the yogurt drink you have in Singapore or Malaysia.
Xi'An's yogurt drink is like yogurt.
The sticky white yogurt you had in Malaysia and Singapore. 

I actually bought a whole box back to Singapore. 
Hahahaha, greedy me. 

Ma batchmate, Joe.

 Saw them making this super large bread. 

 Look nice.
But taste wise, its like eating plain Gardenia bread. 


BBQ chicken I guess.

 Was at a phone store.
Testing out my new fish eye lens.
Only cost me $6

Another yogurt-based food
They even have yogurt ice-cream.
Super nice.

 Part of the street.

 Xi'An is also famous for their red dates and nuts. 



My FO, Ryan trying out the 玫瑰镜糕.
He says its nice.
Perhaps next time can try. 
 See...yogurt everywhere!!!
<3 p="">

 Davis trying out peaches in Xi'An

 Their famous beef stew noodle.
Its like ban mian but a bit salty. 

 Young coconut to quench the thirst.
Only cost $2

My must-do whenever I travel.
Did not manage to buy the Starbucks card due to lack of cash.
Wait me, will be back next time.
