It's almost a common belief that the best food you can find in a place is not in the fancy restaurants, in the backstreets. These spots are usually away from popular tourist attractions, which means that to find them you'll need the spirit of an explorer.
That's I came across roujiamo when I was exploring Beijing. I found restaurant that sold dishes from Xi'an when I explored the area around (I) office one day. I decided to try it out.
My roujiamo (make) fresh, so the bread was still warm. It was soft when I bit into it, and the meat inside was delicious and tender. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I ordered more to take home with me. Though it's just a snack, it's still quite filling and can (easy) satisfy your appetite.
There are a (various) of things you can put inside the "mo", as the bread is called. For example, in certain areas in Xi'an, the meat (use) is usually beef, but in Gansu Province, lamb is more common. And the first roujiamo that I tried was made pork. However it's made, it's still a tasty snack. And for an American like me who grew up (eat) hamburgers, it's a perfect combination of East and West.
