For the last meal in Dunhuang, Chef Zhang asked us what else we wanted to eat. I said let's eat mutton. After all, it's not easy to come to the Northwest, so we have to eat meat to our heart's content. This restaurant is really for locals. The chef took us here in many ways, and sighed again that it was right to hire a local chartered car, otherwise we would have to go blindly.
The storefront is quite low-key, and the environment inside is also very ordinary. After all, we arrived at the store early, and we sat in the box before 5 o'clock. It is said that there are long queues at meal times. The process of ordering dishes shows that it is a local business. I wanted to order a few more dishes, but the waiter told me that this was enough for 5 people, and we would talk about it if it was not enough. I listened to him, and fortunately I didn't order more, otherwise I really couldn't finish it. In the Northwest for a few days, I felt the generosity of the Northwest people again and again, and the portions of the dishes were quite large.
Because I have tried white mutton, this time I tried braised mutton. The mutton here is the cheapest, but also the most delicious, 70 yuan/jin, which is really a good deal. There are vermicelli in the mutton, which absorbs the soup and makes it more flavorful.
Cumin lamb chops, 80 yuan/jin, we ordered half a jin, the lamb chops are very flavorful, eat with your hands, experience the heroism of eating meat with big mouthfuls.
Small plate chicken, originally ordered a large plate chicken, under the persuasion of the waiter, changed to a small plate chicken, this is a small plate. . . Baby said he was shocked, what is a large plate? The cooking method of this chicken is a bit similar to braised mutton.
Sour cabbage meatballs in clear vermicelli soup, sour and spicy taste, very appetizing, the meatballs are real meatballs.
Sour and spicy tripe shreds, crisp taste.
Finally, bid farewell to Dunhuang with a happy satisfaction. But the aroma of the food here can still be recalled between the lips and teeth. This city in the desert has a heavy historical heritage, vast and boundless scenery, and unforgettable food.
