Uighur food ...

On Friday night, I headed back to Chinatown with my lovely friend, Diane, where we enjoyed a delicious, filling (and cheap) dinner at a Uighur restaurant.  Eating the yummy meat pies, egg and leek pastries and stir fried eggplant bought back memories of my trip with Dad and his partner to the Muslim Quarter in Xian.  Here, we spent the evening roaming through the bustling alleyways, sampling the tasty treats on offer.  When we found a dish that looked appealing, we'd buy one serve, share it, and if it was good, buy another.  Most dishes were only $1-2 each.  Everything was super delicious ... except for maybe the glutinous rice desserts!

Busy kitchen

"Mmmm, do you think we should try this one?"

Another busy kitchen

Yummy, greasy Uighur food


Not so impressed with the glutenous rice puddings
