Xi'an

Lunch:
Stop at a "Shredded Pita Bread Cooked in Lamb Soup".restaurant.

If there is one food could represent Xi'an, it'd be without doubt Yangrou Paomo -- an aromatic, tasty and spicy bowl of shredded flat-bread soaked in mutton broth.
As a local specialty which is widely eaten in Xi’an area, locals always say,“If you have never tried Pao Mo, you can never say that you’ve been to Xi’an.”
Eating Pao Mo is an uniquely fun and relaxing exercise and experience. Here is the right way to do it.
At the beginning you'll be served with two pieces of unleavened flat pita bread or "mo" in Chinese in a bowl. Then it’s your job to break the bread into pieces with sizes from peanuts to soybeans according to your own preference. It’s a time-consuming process but locals believe that the Paomo made by themselves will taste much better.
More importantly, it's the time for people to talk and to communicate while siting together and tearing those hard bread. Then you should return bowl with those shredded bread pieces and your “mo” will be cooked in mutton soup which has been stewed for the whole day until the bits are fully soaked in soup and its rich flavor.
The stew will be cooked with mung bean vermicelli and topped with slices of lamb or beef of your choice, and pickled sweet garlic served at the same time with chili sauce added in will keep a perfect balance of the dish.
