Figure 2 Jinshan Milk Tea Shop Baoersak thin-skinned buns and salty milk tea. For northerners, Baoersak is like fried dough sticks that have been left for a long time without salt. The jam is too sweet. The thin-skinned buns are delicious. The milk tea depends on personal taste. I think it's okay, but my friend thinks it's unpalatable. Figure 3 Hotan Second Street Kashi Yibazhuo is delicious and cheap. The meat naan next to it is also delicious. You can buy them together (I feel that any freshly baked buns are delicious) Figure 4 Lingling Fried Rice Noodles. I didn't go to the main store, so I found a branch nearby. The taste is also good. The mild spicy order is not particularly spicy. If you can eat spicy food, you can order medium spicy. Figure 5 Yogurt in the supermarket! You can buy it at will! You won't step on thunder! But I strongly recommend the red box ice cream yogurt from Xiyuchun!!! The taste is very silky and solid but not heavy. It has a very fragrant taste. Everyone who has drunk it said it tastes good! It tastes so good that I brought a box back and gave it to my friend. She placed an order overnight (don't argue about additives. I didn't check it. I just think it tastes good) Figure 6 A very popular dessert shop on Hotan Second Street, I forgot the name I bought cheese buns and yogurt cakes, both of which were delicious. The cheese buns were not thick (the cheese buns I bought in Kashgar were terrible) Figure 7 I forgot which store I bought fried meat noodles in Kanas Scenic Area. They were terrible! Figure 8 I bought peanut naan from a store near Butterfly Villa in Kanas Scenic Area. I didn't expect it to be so delicious! It's thick, full of ingredients, very fragrant and delicious. It's just a bit choking haha Figure 9 Chonghuer Big Plate Chicken. The soup is usually very delicious. When eating big plate chicken, you must eat noodles. Soak the noodles in the soup. We finished the noodles before we finished the chicken Figure 10.11.12 Kuitun Ayilan Yogurt. The handmade yogurt is quite sour. It's not as good as the supermarket one. Haha. Just try the ice cream yogurt lumps. The yogurt lumps in the red package are sweet and very addictive. You must buy the handmade fresh milk skin! Wait until it is thawed before eating. It is very milky and delicious. This dairy product lover eats a box at once Figure 13 Fried pork noodles, spicy noodles, I personally like spicy noodles that are not spicy and have a little sweetness. The noodles are delicious. Picture 14 Tekes Ma Bai Kailai lamb chops are really delicious! They are delicious!! Let me eat them all! The lamb is very tender and the potatoes are delicious! The soup is also delicious and the noodles are also delicious! I didn't have much expectation when I went to eat it, but it was really unexpected. The portion is also large. The four of us ordered a small portion for 200 yuan and didn't eat it. Their Hui jelly is also good. Picture 15 Kashgar Alcha pilaf is really delicious in any branch!!! The lamb leg is super big and the rice is very soft and very flavorful. The side dishes are also delicious. Picture 16 Kashgar Meizi special roast chicken, I personally don't recommend it. I ordered it for delivery. I don't know if it was left for a while or what. The chicken is very dry and not delicious. But the baked naan below is unexpectedly delicious. I suggest that you don't eat chicken when you go to Xinjiang. Eat more beef and mutton. Picture 17 Baked naan!! There is really no freshly baked naan that can be taken home intact! Freshly baked naan is super super delicious. This naan is only 3 yuan and super big. The original flavor is especially delicious. My friend and I ate no less than ten naan in Xinjiang. #Local food #Scenic restaurant
