Delu's yogurt has several kinds.
The dine-in ones are served in porcelain bowls.
It is very delicious to eat directly.
Then there are plastic bottles and plastic bowls.
There are also large gift boxes that can be taken away as gifts.
The yogurt has moderate acidity and a mellow aroma.
It is absolutely different from the yogurt on the market.
Sweet mash is also a specialty snack in Qinghai.
It is made with highland barley and has regional characteristics.
In terms of taste, it has a little wine aroma.
It is sweet overall and the rice inside can also be eaten.
According to the store owner, their family has a traditional recipe and craftsmanship for brewing highland barley liquor. They have been brewing since their grandmother's generation, and brewing is a craft that the whole family can do.

The price tag is clearly visible on the store, and the price is super affordable, but it is a little expensive compared to other places. But overall it is still a good deal. I really want to order all of them, because each one is so cheap, but my stomach is only so big! ! Seeing the full pot, the aroma is overflowing, and my saliva is about to drip onto the screen. It is full of soup. Fennel, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, sand ginger, cardamom and other spices are prepared, commonly known as the "Thirteen Spices", none of which can be missing. Pure beef offal and tripe, mixed with hot sauce and Lao Gan Ma is really great, the beef offal is well-seasoned, the beef offal is soft and rotten, the gravy is rich, spicy and chewy. But the negative point is that there are too many lungs, which will make people quite dissatisfied.
This beef offal shop is a local internet celebrity restaurant! This is a place dedicated to beef offal. It is very popular. When we came to eat, we had to queue up! Although the store is small, many people come here.

You guys are eager to recommend the niangpi to me. This one is relatively better. Is the niangpi made of flour? It tastes like the rice jelly in Sichuan. This one is definitely better than Ma Zhong's. There is also boiled jelly with a sour taste. The sweet mash is made from highland barley, just like the fermented glutinous rice in Sichuan. It is an iced drink. Children like it more. I think the taste is not bad. If you want to eat niangpi, come to this one. No. 20, Xinghai Road, Xining City.
A very unexpected surprise, right in front of the hotel. I found that there seemed to be a lot of locals, so I went to try it with the mentality of giving it a try. The result was four words: good quality and low price! The eldest brother was very satisfied with one bowl, the dough was very chewy, the seasoning tasted good, very good, very good!

This shop is doing very well. It is a very popular old brand in the local area. You can basically eat very authentic traditional snacks. There are a lot of people at meal time. We ordered several small dishes, all of which are super delicious. It is definitely worth recommending to try it.
This is my first time to eat lobster fried instant noodles. The taste is very fragrant and fried very dry, which is my favorite taste. The lobster meat is also salty, fresh and tender, not old at all. It's delicious! Good service attitude!

Beef noodles are a special delicacy in Gansu and Qinghai. Gansu makes it better, and Qinghai makes it better...
Especially Lanting Anbo!
This restaurant has high-end decoration, with two floors. The first floor is for noodles, and the second floor is for set meals. The set meals are rich and varied. It is no exaggeration to say that I have the honor to taste it once, and it feels very good [naughty]
The soup base of beef noodles should be very laborious. Eating noodles without drinking soup is equivalent to a wasted trip hahahahaha
The noodles are quite strong, smooth and chewy, and not difficult to digest. The noodles feel like the Saibei Snow Noodles are very attentive. After eating, I drank Waya and set off to watch the sunrise in Heimahe and the Sky Mirror in Chaka. I can't wait to think about it
Signature beef noodles, the noodles are very chewy, the soup is especially delicious, good reviews

Hehehe, this is a very unique yak yogurt shop, the decoration is very unique, I grew up in Guangdong and have never seen it! It is also the first time to drink yak yogurt, the taste is very fragrant, I like it very much
There are many local yogurts made from yak milk. No other additives are added and they are naturally fermented with yeast. Therefore, the local yogurt is particularly popular. It still tastes very sour. If your friends are not used to it, you can add some sugar.

It's a bit like the cold noodles in Shaanxi. Overall, I think it's okay and tastes good.
It is very famous and has many branches. This is one of them. Friends who like it can go and try it.
