Also one must try local drink is the plum syrup. The greatest place to try plum syrup in Xi'an is a small vendor stand called Hhuanainai in Dapiyuan of Muslim Quarter. It costs you only 2 RMB (0.33 USD) for a cup. 

Other food to try includes Roujiamo with filings of fried pork/beef/veggie, Majiangliangpi cold noodle, chopped mutton/beef/pork fired with flour Fengzhengrou and dried persimmons.
