《Xiao Shijie》 Domestic Travel 📍Xinjiang I came here based on recommendations online, and there are indeed many locals who come to take away. The |baked buns^ are 3 yuan each, and they are still hot when you eat them. They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is pretty good. The store also has |salty milk tea^. Maybe the owner was afraid that we would not be used to it, so he gave us salt to add by ourselves. In fact, the original flavor is also OK. The museum is opposite the store.

It is worthy of being the number one baked bun in Turpan. The skin is very thin and baked very crispy, the meat filling is also very solid, the soup is rich, the taste of onion and mutton fat is neutral, there is no strong or greasy feeling, the taste is very rich

The steamed buns here are much more delicious than those in Yining Haierbag. The freshly baked hot steamed buns have a crispy crust, puffy inside, and the filling is neither salty nor bland. A plate of steamed buns and a pot of tea is the standard breakfast for locals. One pot is made of 180 buns. Don't think it's too much. If one person comes to buy 30 or 50, they will be sold out quickly. It is said that tens of thousands are sold a day.

Many larger Xinjiang restaurants in Beijing have baked buns. I ate them several times but never really appreciated their deliciousness until I came to Xinjiang… This restaurant has a high rating in reviews and is said to have been featured in Breakfast China. It is very close to the Mercure Hotel where we stayed, so we were able to rush over early in the morning to eat the first batch. When we arrived, there were already three locals waiting in front of the stall. In a few minutes, the first batch of buns was about to come out of the pot. Seeing the spectacular sight of buns all over the naan pit really makes people feel the uniqueness of Xinjiang cuisine. The young man in the store skillfully used a small shovel to "catch" the baked golden buns one by one into the net. 3 yuan each, the price is good, so I bought 20 first. The square baked buns have a slightly burnt, thin and crispy skin, and are filled with solid hand-chopped beef fillings. The saltiness is just right, and pepper, onions and other seasonings are added. You can feel the gravy when you take a bite. Regardless of the heat, the two of us ate 8 first, and it was comfortable~ It turns out that this is the "true face" of baked buns.

[Location] Opposite the Turpan Museum. I was tired and thirsty after visiting the museum, so I quickly crossed the road to eat what may be the best baked buns in the city. [Environment] An inconspicuous small shop with simple decoration. The three big pits in the alley next to it are the focus. [Service] A baked bun costs 3 yuan, and there is no discount no matter how many you buy. I was lucky and ate it without queuing. Those who came later had to wait for 20 minutes to get out of a pit. I chatted with the young man while eating. The young men didn’t speak Chinese very well, but they were very enthusiastic. There were 180 buns in a pit, 37 degrees high temperature, and they were surrounded by three pits. They also made hard-earned money. After eating, I watched them post buns next to me, which was very fun. There was a small stall opposite, selling apricots and yogurt shaved ice. I saw the young man picking up other people’s apricots and asked: Is it sweet? He greeted the stall owner and picked three directly for me to taste. Later I found out that there are sweet apricots everywhere here, as long as you are willing to pick them [grin] [Taste] Thin skin, thick filling and lots of juice! Really delicious!

Baked steamed buns are one of the most famous delicacies in Xinjiang and also a Turpan delicacy. Kuoxi Makla Baked Steamed Buns is a shop specializing in Xinjiang baked steamed buns. Their baked steamed buns are made using traditional methods and baked in an oven. Many people say that the taste is the most authentic of all the baked steamed buns they have ever eaten. There are so many people lining up to buy them every day, it is worth a visit.
