Master Wei Xi’an’s Signature Noodles

Read Time:1 Minute, 25 Second

One of my favourite places to eat at in Holborn has been Master Wei Xi’an, a restaurant just off 道 specialising in Xi’an cuisine. Their most known dish has been the biangbiang noodles, notably the one with pork.

I’d already been there prior with friends and on another outing, I took my friend there – she tried the Pork BiangBiang Noodles with Tomato & Egg Sauce and Chilli oil while I had Xi’an special lamb hand-pulled fried noodles.

Like Murger Han and Xi’an BiangBiang Noodle, Master Wei Xi’an’s signature is so delicious and definitely serves as a great introduction to Xi’an cuisine. While it was a little oily, it balanced out with the spice and was quite enjoyable to eat with the combo of the pork and egg sauce.

The Xi’an special lamb hand-pulled fried noodles was amazing, from the tangy tomatoes to the mix of coriander, wood ear mushrooms and green chilli pepper. There was something about the combined ingredients that brought a sort of richness to it, and I could not stop expressing how tasty this dish was.

As expected, the hand pulled noodles for both dishes are fresh and soft and is portioned enough to keep you full. Sadly it’s not a place where you can adjust the spice level so the spice in the dish is just as it is.
Both dishes at Master Wei Xi’an were well-spiced and highly recommended so I’d give it a ranking level of Gochujang as it’s not too bad for those who are not used to having pepper on a weekly basis.
