On Wednesday 22.jun.22, ordered two Foodpanda deliveries, one for him and one for me. I noticed this eatery on Foodpanda and ordered some snacks from it because I am curious about the cuisine of ShaanXi.
*** 肉夹馍 aka Rou Jia Mo aka Rou Ga Mo ***
1.09 pm - Rou Ga Mo literally means meat sandwich. It is a street food from ShaanXi. According to wiki, it is not a full meal and is often sold with Liang pi which I also bought in this order.
The bread is a dense firm flatbread made from yeast and wheat flour. The thin layer of meat fillings consists of salty shredded pork with a bit of onion taste.
It is placed in this small paper bag.
*** Pork Pie aka 肉馅饼 aka Rou Xian Bing ***
1.30 pm - pork pie - two pieces in one paper bag
Texture looks similar to roti canai and pancake though roti canai is thicker and is layered.
It seems like a piece of thin crepe pancake similar to roti canai with meat fillings folded into it as from the side view, can see the folded layers of pancake in between the meat.
*** ShaanXi cuisine ***
I also ordered scallion pancakes and Liang pi aka 凉皮 which literary means cold skin. It is made from wheat or rice flour and looks like noodles.
1 pm - the Rou Ga Mo, pork pie and scallion pancake are in one bag. The liang pi is in a plastic container and the two types of sauce for the liang pi are in another bag.
Liang pi with raw beansprouts and raw cucumber. It is mixed with the two types of sauce: chili oil sauce and garlic sauce; and served cold.
Scallion pancake - the pancake is cut into 4 pieces. This is just one piece. Thin and compact, need to chew chew chew but the doughy taste and scallion taste is nice.
*** His lunch and dinner ***
Ordered bkt from New Lucky coffee shop for him because he just ate a bit of the food from ShaanXi cuisine. For breakfast, shared the lam yee Mee from yesterday.

Never try such sandwich. Interesting and good that you gave it a taste. The scallion pancake looked yummy. From picture, it looked thick but you said it wasn't. I like compact pancake, but like you said, need to chew chew chew.
ReplyDeleteYour holiday last time to Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Wuxi, you must have tasted many types of food similar to this. Must be missing your vacation. Can go again with your whole family soon, end of this year.
DeleteI think I will enjoy eating both the meat sandwich. Looks good and yummy to me.
ReplyDeleteBest eaten when served hot else may need a fair bit of chewing.
DeleteHave seen this type of sandwich from some makan makan TV show but never seen the real thing before.
ReplyDeleteInterested to try?
DeleteI had something like this meat sandwich from a street vendor just once when I was working in Shanghai. Since then I've been searching for it again. The pork pie concept looks similar to our murtabak.
ReplyDeleteAh, u can go try then. They have branches nearer to you. You are right, the pork pie concept is similar to murtabak but murtabak doesn't have the layering inside, just the fillings.
