Nací en Xi'an y soy fanática de los carbohidratos con mucha experiencia en Berlín (¡trigo > todo! 🌾). Culpa a mi ADN de Shaanxi por mi obsesión con la comida italiana (¿sabías que son prácticamente primos de los carbohidratos?) y mi eterna adicción al café. Criada por una madre que mapeó los mejores bocados de Xi'an, ahora estoy aquí para compartir mis secretos. ¡Busquemos restaurantes escondidos y cafés de especialidad!
La mejor experiencia del viaje a China, fue realmente increíble. Wendy nos hizo sentir en casa, nos acercó su cultura y pudimos aprender hacer gyozas y biang biang noodels. Comimos todos juntos con sus padres lo cual fue una experiencia súper cercana , aprendimos de su cultura y costumbres y sin duda es la mejor manera de conocer de cerca la vida local. Sin duda repetiremos si volvemos a Xian.
This tour was absolutely delightful! The guide, Wenqi, was so friendly and she brought another guru tour guide, Juliet, with her. They were so engaging and friendly. Our first stop was the local market where we saw the meat vendors, and she explained the different types of meat, the vegetable market, and she pointed out all of the unique vegetables to China, the spices, and the eggs, including the century eggs! Then we went to her home where her mother and father were waiting. They invited us to have a seat with local snacks, fruit and milk tea, and then we went to the table to make our own dumpling dough. From start to finish they were so kind and helpful we were able to roll out our dumplings and fill them and set those aside for cooking and then we made our own biang biang noodles. Wenqi's mother cooked us a delicious feast in her kitchen while Wenqi, Juliet and her father entertained us in the living room. Then we watched her mother, assemble the noodle dish and went to the kitchen table for a feast! Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Xi'an!
One of the highlights of our trip to China was meeting Wenqi and her family and spending time with them preparing delicious food. It was an INCREDIBLE experience, and I would certainly recommend it to any traveller looking to enjoy Chinese cuisine and learn about the culture and people of this country. Wenqi's mum is an AMAZING cook — we had the BEST noodles I have ever tasted! The whole family is so nice that it was such a shame we didn't have more time, as we had to catch a flight that afternoon, but we had a great time. We just want to say a huge thank you to Wenqi and her parents for having us. Please let us know if you're ever planning to visit Spain!
Incredible experience with Dafu, such an amazing opportunity to discover Xian cuisine! Dafu’s family is amazing and you will feel right at home.
Spending a few hours with a Chinese family, cooking together, chatting, and strolling through the local market was an incredibly special experience. The family’s hospitality, the laughter we shared, and the genuine connections we made truly touched us. The food was absolutely spectacular — juicy meat, fresh vegetables, delicious dumplings, tasty noodles, and perfectly prepared traditional eggs. We learned so much in many different ways, far beyond just cooking. Thank you for leaving such a meaningful mark on our experience and our trip. We will never forget this!
