“Eat and drink clean can best describe the beauty of its taste!” Xiao Chen, who is studying at Northwestern Polytechnical University, told reporters about his feelings about the Vietnamese restaurant Yuemei Xiaoguan. Today, the reporter takes you through the small restaurant to appreciate the uniqueness of Vietnamese cuisine.
Vietnamese bamboo hat becomes a signboard
Yuemei Restaurant is located in an underground food block on South Street. The block combines European, American, Southeast Asian and other decorative styles, and is full of small, fresh and chic. There are all kinds of food here, and there are quite a few foreign cuisines. There are five countries themed restaurants, including Japan, Vietnam, Mexico, the United States, and India, which are very popular in Xi’an. Someone joked: “This neighborhood is very foreign. Every day changes to a pattern, a day to a restaurant, and every day seems to be playing in a different country.”
From a distance, I saw a bamboo hat at the entrance of Yuemei Xiaoguan, and the rich and authentic Vietnamese style came to my face. This very special decoration, also known as bamboo hat or hat, is a traditional Vietnamese straw hat. The store manager Liu Guifang told reporters: “The summer in Vietnam is high in temperature, humidity, and thunderstorms. Wearing a bamboo hat can not only protect from the sun, but also act as a fan. When there is no pocket, the hat can be turned upside down and can also hold fruits and vegetables.” It can be seen on the photo wall that with the development of society, the bamboo hat has evolved from a tool for sheltering from the wind and rain to a female ornament with ornamental value. “Although there are many different styles of hats on the market, the traditional bamboo hat is still very popular. Although it is simple and simple, it contains the customs and people of Vietnam behind it, and it is full of craftsmen’s patience and meticulous production.” The store manager Liu, who I know, said.
Six branches rooted in the ancient city

Starting from the China-Europe train (Xi’an) assembly center, an international trade channel It has shortened the distance between Xi’an and Vietnam.
The store manager Liu Guifang told reporters that since the first Yuemei restaurant opened in Qujiang New District in 2018, Vietnamese cuisine has been very popular, and the restaurant on weekends is often “hard to find”. In the past four years, Yuemei Restaurant has opened six branches in South Street, Gaoxin and Xiaozhai, and Vietnamese cuisine is fragrant in Xi’an.

Or chili, customers couldn’t help but praise: “A bowl of soup noodles, light and warm stomach!” “Drinking soup and eating meat noodles, the more you eat, the more beautiful it is!”
Rice Noodle Barbecue Spring Rolls are “Magic”
Hanoi barbecue with lemon, is the taste of summer. Although it belongs to cold powder, the ingredients are quite rich.

Pour a small plate of soup, stir well, sour and sweet, with excellent taste .

Vietnamese black tiger shrimp rice paper roll is a “star” item. It often appears in variety shows, attracting many people to come and taste it. The thin and tough spring rolls made of rice pulp are wrapped in four oversized black tiger prawns and full of rice noodles, as well as cucumbers, carrots, mangoes, mint, lettuce, dipped in sweet and spicy sauce, bite down, The refreshing taste and the complex flavor of spices spread out, and it is very layered. Customer Xiao Zhou described the taste of this dish as “very magical, and people don’t want to put it down when they pick it up.”
Different from the bean paste spring rolls that we usually eat, the traditional Vietnamese spring rolls stuffed with beef, shiitake mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms are not only the favorite of many customers, but also make Chef Meng “incapable of extricating himself” and practiced his specialty dish. . Vietnamese spring rolls are more sophisticated, served with cucumbers and pickled radishes, rolled with lettuce and dipped in sauce. It may seem unremarkable, but it is a Vietnamese dish that can make every guest at the table give a thumbs up. The feeling of splattering the gravy is unforgettable.
Vietnamese cooking attracts fans
“Love one line and do one line, and do one line well and one line well”, Chef Meng Xianwen is from Baoji, Shaanxi Province. He used to be good at cooking Chinese food. Once he accidentally eats Vietnamese food, he will never forget it, so he devoted himself to the practice of Vietnamese food. Introduced by a friend two years ago, I came to work at Yuemei Restaurant with my friend, and finally used the superb Vietnamese cooking skills to firmly “tie” the stomach of customers. Chef Meng proudly told reporters that the restaurant has gathered a large number of “Vietnamese food fans”, and whenever they enjoy their meal, there are always people who ask for advice on the spot, wanting to learn how to cook Vietnamese food and cook it for the family, “Even if you learn a Vietnamese dish It makes everyone feel a sense of accomplishment.”
One meal, three friends, Mr. Liu listened to the customers talking about the cuisines of various countries and couldn’t help but sigh: “As part of the cultural soft power, not only Vietnamese cuisine, but also restaurants from all over the world have received more and more attention from Xi’an people. Attention, foreign cuisine has not only satisfied the appetite, but also turned into a window for us to understand the world culture.”
