I planned my first food trip to Xi’an the way you plan a field exercise: twelve meals in three days<\/a>, colour-coded, with contingency snacks. The city retired the spreadsheet by lunchtime. I had queued twenty minutes at a roujiamo stall near \u6d12\u91d1\u6865, and by the time the steam hit my face I’d stopped counting meals and started counting bites. That’s the thing about eating in Xi’an \u2014 it doesn’t reward planning so much as appetite, and you will never be hungrier than after a walk through the Muslim Quarter.<\/p>\n

Two days<\/a> is enough to eat well without once feeling rushed, if you follow the city’s logic: breakfast is serious, lunch is the day’s biggest meal, and dinner is when the streets come alive<\/a>. Here is the route I’ve walked \u2014 and eaten \u2014 more times than I can count.<\/p>\n
