Murger Han: London’s First Authentic Xi’an Restaurant Now in Singapore

January 18, 2025

From the historic city of Xi’an to the streets of London and now to Singapore, Murger Han has brought the rich flavours of northwest China to a global audience. Since its inception in 2014, Murger Han has been at the forefront of introducing Xi’an cuisine in the West, becoming London’s first authentic Xi’an-style restaurant. Following immense success in London with branches from Euston to Elephant & Castle, Murger Han now opens its doors in Singapore.

Celebrating Xi'an's Culinary Heritage

At the heart of Murger Han’s menu is the Murger (Roujiamo), often touted as the world’s oldest “sandwich.” This dish traces back over 2,000 years to the Qin Dynasty and remains a staple in Xi’an street food culture. It features tender, simmered meat tucked into crispy, fluffy bread, offering a contrast of textures.

Murger Han's Menu Features

Cold Noodles

Steamed rice noodles mixed with fresh vegetables, a dish with royal origins that impressed Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Hand-Pulled Biang Biang Noodles

These noodles are famed for their size and the dramatic sound they make when being slapped against the table, a technique perfected over centuries.

Homemade Snacks

Comforting salad or sliced beef that encapsulate the resilience and resourcefulness of ancient Chinese culinary traditions.

Murgers and More

The menu includes a variety of murgers, from the crusty lean pork murger to the aromatic cumin chicken murger, each offering a taste of Xi’an’s street food scene. Soups like the robust beef soup and fragrant lamb soup round out the dining experience, providing warm, soothing options for all palates.

As Murger Han celebrates ten years of culinary success, it invites Singaporeans and visitors alike to experience a taste of Xi’an’s history and culture. Located in the heart of the city, Murger Han is ready to serve up a piece of Chinese history, one dish at a time.
