Sheng Zhi Wang (Sesame Sauce Liangpi)

About

Located in the heart of the Muslim Quarter, Sheng Zhi Wang is the undisputed master of 'Majiang Liangpi' (Cold Skins with Sesame Sauce). Unlike the vinegar-heavy versions elsewhere, their sauce is thick, nutty, and incredibly fragrant, coating the silky rice noodles perfectly. The shop is small and always packed with people standing on the sidewalk to eat. Expert Recommendation: The 'Sesame Sauce Liangpi' is the reason to come; don't leave without trying it. Pro Tip: If you find it too rich, order a bottle of 'Bingfeng' (Xi'an’s local orange soda) to cut through the creaminess of the sesame.
