During Yalun's travels in the beautiful Xinjiang, he came to the "Fire Island" - Turpan, which is scorched by high temperature and blowing hot wind! After experiencing the double package of China's hot and dry poles in Huoyanshan, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in the urban area of Turpan. Would the restaurant close early? Not at all! It was just after 10 o'clock when it got dark, and it was still time for dinner!
I entered a restaurant called Mubarak, although it was 11 o'clock, but the store was still very lively! The children were still playing, and there was no sign of sleepiness. I ordered one of the most commonly eaten delicacies in Xinjiang: fried pork noodles! That is what we often say, the well-known Latiaozi, 25 yuan a bowl, is the price a little high?
The oily pork noodles are divided into a bowl of pulled strips and a plate of side dishes, instead of being mixed and served directly. Not to mention, I like this method very much. You can mix it yourself, and you can mix dishes and noodles according to your own taste. The way I like it is to put part of the oily meat and the strips together first, so that the noodles are evenly coated with the soup, and leave a part of the oily meat on the plate, and eat it without delaying each other. It's beautiful!
I fell in love with the taste from the first bite! Although the price is a bit high, but the taste and portion is definitely worth it. I have never eaten such a wonderful Latiaozi outside of Xinjiang! The oily meat slices are golden red and bright in color, the thick juice is transparent, the oil does not leak, the soup does not disperse, the entrance is tender and smooth, the aroma is rich, steaming, very attractive, I did not expect it to taste even more lovable.
The ingredients are rich, green peppers, red peppers, onions, tasty meat slices... the rich taste with moderate spiciness in the collision. The oiled meat slices are a bit crispy, and the addition of peppers and onions can neutralize the greasy feeling very well, and the more you chew, the more delicious it is! The weight of the sliver is very large, and I can only complete one-third of the amount for me.
The fried noodles were recommended to me by the boss. He said that everyone usually orders a lot. He suggested that I try it. It costs 16 yuan a piece. Fried noodles and mixed noodles have a common feature, that is, the portion is too big! Thick strips, very chewy, I usually have to chew for a long time.
The fried strips have been coated with a layer of soup when they come out of the pan. They are oily and have an attractive aroma! The noodles are fine and even, round and firm. This kind of rough delicacy makes you feel like turning into a Northwest man when you eat it! However, the addition of leeks adds a touch of delicate taste.
When I arrived in the northwest, I couldn’t miss any barbecue. This time I also ordered mutton skewers, 6 yuan a skewer, and the price is still a little high. Fortunately, the meat is medium in size and the quality of the meat is very fresh, but the toppings are a bit less. It tastes a bit bland, and it would be even better if the ingredients were sprinkled a little more when baking. However, Northwest Meat Skewers that are 3 thin and 1 fat, as long as they are fresh, they will not be bad.
The days are long and the nights are short in Xinjiang, which fits perfectly with my schedule as a self-driving traveler. The place where it gets dark until 11 o'clock is simply the best travel destination chosen by the heavens. Not only does the time of play greatly lengthen, but you can also experience the fun of eating with locals in the middle of the night! Yalun's food journey in Xinjiang has just begun, and the first phase will unlock many special delicious flavors!
