M25***54The boss is very enthusiastic, the dishes are good and delicious. I ordered a big plate of chicken and a potato shreds, which tasted great. The environment is also very good, with a very primitive feeling. There are also songs played by Mongolian brothers, which are very good. I give a big thumbs up and will come again if I have the chance.

Xinjiang Cuisine

Reinette_LIWhat do I eat during the snow season‼ ️ - I have been playing in Xinjiang for half a year Let's make a "food collection"! ! I have visited more than 80 restaurants The length and number of pictures are limited🚫, so I will post them in separate articles. You can view other notes on the homepage📒 - ❤️❤️Altay Xinjiang: ✔️Awa People's Naankeng Meat:🌟🌟🌟Roasted sweet potatoes🍠yyds. Hongliu barbecue and naankang meat are delicious. This restaurant's barbecue is okay to order with your eyes closed🆗 ✔️Blue Bay Big Plate Goose:🌟🌟🌟Big plate goose is really better than the big plate chicken that can be eaten everywhere. ✔️Chasing Girl Breakfast House:🌟🌟🌟Xinjiang's salty vegetarian milk tea is worth a try. Order a jam and nut platter ✔️Nurguli Milk Tea: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟This shop is the best salty milk tea I have ever had in Xinjiang. The only better place to taste than this is the horse riding and skiing life in Keketuohai, and the one you make at the herdsmen's house is better than this. But Nurguli is really worthy of being the top streamer in Altay🔥, and it is still full at 3 pm. The apricot jam is so delicious. With the freshly fried baursak, even if it is a mixture of sugar and oil, it can still show off a whole plate. ✔️Black Mushroom Fast Food: 🌟🌟🌟🌟Blue Bay Food City and other leaders. The noodles are very fragrant. Very praised, you can use it all day long, and it is almost sold out at 6 pm. The business is particularly good. Black mushroom soup, people who love mushrooms must think it is super super fresh. The black soup is first-class for soaking rice. ✔️Badaoxiang Luhua Chicken Huangmengduo Yiwei Iron Pot Luhua Chicken: 🌟🌟🌟🌟You can't find this on the Internet, but it's right on the road in Badaoxiang. The Luhua Chicken is a super big pot, very suitable for dinner and drinking after skiing ✔️Lele Nankeng Meat Shop: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟There is a reason why it is so popular. It is a very delicious online celebrity shop. All the barbecues are perfect. There is a grilled lamb chop or a grilled lamb leg, you can order half a kilogram, and put it together. It's delicious. Don't order this hand-torn chicken. ✔️Shawurshan Braised Meat Restaurant: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟This restaurant is so delicious, why is it so low-key? ? ? Braised meat is much more delicious than 🆚clear stewed lamb. If you order a kilo directly, you will be given a knife to cut the meat yourself. The meat has a milky flavor. It is the stewed meat in this restaurant that makes me understand how delicious it is to eat raw piyazi! The stewed carrots and potatoes in the side dishes are amazing, which eliminates my previous prejudice that I never eat carrots. After skiing for several months, on the day I was leaving Altay, I went to this restaurant for my last meal. It is enough to show how delicious it is - #Local food #Xinjiang travel guide #Summer street sweeping plan #Try the authentic old brand #Really delicious snacks collection

Xinjiang Cuisine

lingliziIn front of the Kanas Scenic Area Transfer Center, there is a commercial street and square, surrounded by many fast food restaurants and specialty stores. I had my lunch at the fast food restaurant not far behind the ticket hall. They are all wooden restaurants, and the tables and chairs are also made of wood, with a very primitive forest atmosphere. There are not many choices of dishes. The staple food includes rice 🍚, several kinds of vegetables, braised fish pieces, pepper fried meat, winter melon soup, etc. I ordered a plate of chicken wings with a portion of rice and a stir-fried vegetable 🥬, which cost nearly 200 yuan, a little expensive. It is best to bring instant noodles 🍜 by yourself, and hot water is free.

34. 喀纳斯蝴蝶餐厅

M36***91The environment in the store is nice, and the boss is also very enthusiastic. The most important thing is that the dishes are really good!!! Especially the roasted lamb leg, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without any smell of lamb. Even I, who don't like lamb, ate a lot of it👍👍👍 Other dishes are also recommended! You must go to his restaurant when you come to Kanas! ! Super good!!!

35. 何阿妹鱼馆

M73***12Although the place is a bit out of the way, it's so delicious. A 2 kg big fish, a portion of super fragrant fish offal, and a large portion of pancakes. Three of us finished it all 👍👍👍. The environment is also good.
