Upon entering the "Yuelai Building," the waiter in the shop greeted Locke familiarly and led the six of them to a small private room separated by a screen.
In Chinatown, where Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine are everywhere, such a Chinese restaurant with Northwest flavors is really not easy to find. It's unknown how Locke discovered it.
Among those present, three were Chinese, with only Zhou Ziang having been to Xinjiang, with some knowledge of the customs and cuisine of the Northwest. The others, Xiao Xian and Yiyi, had no concept of Northwestern food.
As for Aisha and Perry, they were purely there to spy.
After Locke ordered, after a while, a plate of flaky, golden pastry was served.
"Empress Dowager Cake is a famous snack from Shaanxi, China, said to be the favorite dessert of an empress dowager from the Han Dynasty. Everyone give it a try," with Aisha present, Locke didn't say much else and started to eat properly.
