Night Market Grilled Squid Cart
×Grilled Squid Skewer
Why you must eat itSplit squid is threaded on a long skewer and grilled, pressed against an iron plate or grate. The surface shrinks and curls, and brushed layers of chili sauce and cumin send char and spice across the night square. A last scatter of white sesame and chili powder finishes it. It bites springy, heat and the squid's sweetness taking turns. Eat it hot on the skewer. Under the Tang-style lanterns, the cart's smoke marks the line, a good first bite of the night.
Grilled squid is a skewer loved in night markets across China, and a fixture of evening stall streets like Datang Everbright City. Though Xi'an is landlocked, frozen and processed squid are widespread, and chili sauce and cumin give it a local turn. The price tracks the size, a guide only. It often runs late, but confirm hours on site.
