Food Around the Muslim Quarter

We thought we would share some more food with you as you are enjoying your holiday meals. As you walk around this area there is so much food. It's really a shock to your all of your senses as you wander through the streets.  Here are some things that you will find.

 

These are some steamed rice cakes that are topped with some jams.

 

 

 

This is another rice cake, but this is topped with some red dates.  You can find more info about this one here.http://en.xian-tourism.com/xian/5/dining/35.html

 



Both beef and lamb meat sticks are very popular in Xi'an.

These are sheep hooves and legs. Yummy.



This is another dessert that is made by pounding the ingredients together.

Here is some more lamb being sold with their skeletons on display.

 

There is quite a bit of sweet corn around, and apparently even George Bush has enjoyed this sweet corn.

These look like potatoes, but they are not. They are quite jiggly if you get a close look at them. We are still unsure of what they are, but we see them all over.

These steamed filled buns are all over China and delicious. Their Chinese name is 包子 (baozi).
