[Bloomsbury, London] Xi'an cuisine @ Master Wei

I’ve been back twice now in the last week or so & everything is excellent.

Qishan Hand-pulled Noodles with Pork in Soup
岐山臊子汤面

Perfect texture on the hand pulled noodles. A lovely sour broth. I’m not sure what they braised the pork in but whatever it was it was definitely imparted a great deal of umami . I can;t remember eating a better noodle soup dish in London for quite some time.

Spicy Pickled Vegetables with Kelp Seaweed.

A delicious start to my third meal here.

Pork Biang Biang Noodles with Tomato Egg Sauce and Chilli Oil
三合一油泼面

Big fat hand pulled noodles. I really liked the tangy tomato sauce and the egg running through it added a nice silkiness and richness.

Unfortunately I no longer work round the corner from this place ( though probably a good thing for my waistline and bank balance).

BTW the missus and four of her friends went yesterday on my recommendation and they all raved about it.

A definite must go back.
