In Hami, Xinjiang, 45 yuan is enough for 2 people to eat a special hand-picked rice? 10 yuan for a pot of milk tea to drink all you can!

When traveling in Xinjiang, you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the northwest border of our country, but also taste the local delicacies. After coming to Hami, the first serious dinner I ate was Xinjiang's unique hand pilaf! Oh, the locals said, they generally call it: pilaf.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, I entered a very popular pilaf restaurant frequented by locals. Although in our opinion, this time is relatively late, but in fact, it is a bit early to eat in Hami, which is only dark at 10 pm. There are multiple pilaf sets on the menu to choose from, and the price range is between 20 yuan and 100 yuan. Hungry, I ordered a 45 yuan five-star top-quality lamb tendon pilaf. I feel very domineering just hearing the name!

The pilaf is on the table! There is a layer of oily rice on the big round plate, and a huge lamb tendon is placed on it, which makes me dumbfounded! There is also a small bowl of yogurt on the dinner plate. This is my good dinner partner when traveling in the Northwest, and it costs 3 yuan a piece. Although it is called pilaf, in order to adapt to the dining habits of more people, pilaf restaurants are now equipped with spoons and forks. Of course, there will also be gloves in the store for everyone to choose from.

One end of the lamb tendon is very thick meat, the middle is bare bone, and the other end is a small tendon like a "small handle". The color of the meat looks very deep, with distinct layers, and it is getting more and more greedy! First, eat a mouthful of rice to pad your stomach. The yellow carrot sticks are soft and sweet (a bit like the taste of cooked papaya), and the rice fried and braised with clear oil and suet oil, rich and fragrant, lingering between the lips and teeth.

This is the first time I have eaten such a large piece of meat! In front of such rough food, the image of a girl is completely ignored! Not to mention, grab it and try it. Wow, it’s too heavy. It turns out that eating can also be done physically. The first time you grab it, you will feel a little uncomfortable. It’s too long to put it in any direction. It’s really a happy trouble. .

Using hands and forks together, the lamb tendon is slowly torn apart, the aroma is gradually apparent, and the texture of the lamb is regular and clearly visible. Quickly grab a piece and put it in your mouth. The outside is a bit crunchy, but the meat on the inside is very tender. Because it is wrapped in a meat film, there will be no taste of dry wood. It is perfect with rice.

Because the tendon meat is the muscle on the thigh, and there are tendons inside. This is something I like very much. It makes the meal more flavorful. I slowly feel the charm of Xinjiang pilaf while eating big meat and small mouthfuls. Lamb tendons with moderate hardness can be torn into strips, and then one bite of rice, one bite of meat, and enjoy the satisfaction of being overwhelmed by delicious food through repeated repetitions.

If there are 2 people and the appetite is normal, ordering such a 45 lamb tendon pilaf is basically enough. One meal for 2 people? That's right, because the portion is really big, it is very common for 2 people to serve. A local couple sitting next to me is such a choice, and the waiter will prepare two sets of tableware. Rice can be added for one serving, but not for 2 servings!

When you come to Xinjiang to eat pilaf, how can you not have a pot of milk tea? The milk tea here is 10 yuan a pot. When it was brought to the table, the milk tea overflowed. I thought it was because the clerk was too hard, but I opened the lid and saw that it was a full pot. It would swing out with a light touch. It is too real ! The milk taste is very strong, accompanied by a slight salty taste.

The total meal in Hami, Xinjiang is 58 yuan. One person will definitely not be able to finish it, and two people will be a little bit full. After drinking 6 bowls of milk tea, there is still more than half of the pot left, which can be taken away!
