Eleven courses of BLISS at Charcoal Player

Chef Li Junjie’s restaurant, Charcoal Player, is a hidden gem in Xi’an. Your meal is no nonsense…you sit at a long bar that overlooks the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, and you are offered a set menu of 11 courses. Junjie is from Sichuan but trained in Australia. As a result, his food embodies the collision of these cultures. The pigeon was my absolute favorite…so tender and not even a hint of gaminess. Hope to visit his Shanghai restaurant soon. #foodie #xian #china
