A ZHEN WEI DAO MI FEN

I ordered chicken and beef with my friends. They were delicious, spicy and satisfying. The noodles were also delicious and the meat was not bad either.

A rice noodle shop that is well-known in Xinjiang. It is a must-try snack when visiting the local area. It is very spicy and very satisfying.

📍Xinjiang is not only fun but also delicious! Show off beef and mutton, fried rice noodles, cheese buns, various carbohydrates and fruits every day! 📍Xinjiang Fried Rice Noodles 🔹I ate two popular online restaurants, Ah Zhen and La Feng Celery Fried Rice Noodles. In summary, the takeaway I ordered in Yining, Ah Zhen rice noodles, was the best, but the one we ordered was too spicy. The two big Internet celebrities had to vote for Ah Zhen because the soup was very rich and I liked it more! 📍Cheese Buns 🔹I have eaten in many stores and some ordinary stores are more popular: Yining Grape Tree, Liuba Russian Leba House, Zhengfei Fresh Milk Cheese Buns, Kashgar Jujube Biscuits and Pastries In summary: Grape Tree’s cheese buns are the best. The bread embryo is very soft and the nuts are really super full. The cheese is also very thick and not sweet or greasy! But please note that there is no branch in Kashgar, southern Xinjiang. Grape Tree cheese buns can only be bought in Urumqi and Yining! ! 📍Noodles 🔹The Doudou noodles recommended by the hostel owner are a specialty of Turpan! The stir-fried noodles and fried noodles I ate in Zhaosu are the most delicious! I didn’t eat noodles better than Zhaosu in southern Xinjiang later🥲 📍Mutton skewers 🔹I only eat 2.5 per skewer, don’t eat too expensive! You must eat meat in Xinjiang 📍Fruits 🔹If you don’t eat fruits in Xinjiang, it’s a waste of time! Every time I see fruit for sale, I can’t walk! ! You must show off Xinjiang fruits and vegetables. Watermelons are sold by the kilogram. Old man melons are sold at 50 cents per kilogram (you must buy this fruit, which is only available in Xinjiang!) 📍 Things I don’t like 🔹 Baked buns. If you are sensitive to the taste of lamb, you can buy one first. I can’t accept it. 🤦‍♀️ 🔹 Hand-pulled rice. I have eaten hand-pulled rice in northern and southern Xinjiang. It is either too oily or too hard. But the one I ate at my Kazakh friend’s house was not oily and very delicious. I don’t know why. I suspect that there is a possibility that we went too late and the oil was piled on the bottom! The rice was too oily and hard! #新疆旅游 #新疆美食 #那些不小姐新疆美食 #新疆美食推荐 #隐不隐闪闪城
