Food and scenery are equally worthwhile.
While walking along the Northwest Grand Loop,
we ate a lot of food, such as hand-pulled lamb, fried noodles, kang pot, earthen hot pot, etc.
We have simply compiled a super complete food guide collection for friends who are going to the Northwest or planning to walk the Northwest Grand Loop.
Come and save it!

·Ahammed Fresh Meat
The spicy lamb trotter is a must. The lamb trotter is a whole one. You can just pick up the gloves and eat it directly. It tastes slightly spicy and numb. It is cooked soft and glutinous and very tasty. The more you eat, the more you like it. It is so delicious that you will go to buy it the next day. The barbecue is also good. I recommend grilled lamb skewers and grilled lamb chops. Roasted potatoes are salty and not recommended.

·Ma Yonghua Dongxiang Hand-pulled Lamb
This restaurant mainly eats hand-pulled lamb, near the train station. The hand-pulled lamb is fat and lean, the meat is tender, and it tastes without any smell. It tastes great with sauce, but it is easy to get sick of it if you eat too much. The noodles of the fried noodles are very chewy and taste very good. I highly recommend it. Fried scallions are unique to the northwest, with a very refreshing taste and crispy.

· Lu Jiyuan · Qinghai local hot pot
I ordered a local hot pot online. The ingredients are very sufficient, including beef, mutton, tripe, meatballs, tofu, etc. The meat is a little less, and the overall taste is more fragrant, and the taste is still very good. The fried steamed buns are very crispy, and the condensed milk feels sweet, and the taste is good.

2⃣ Chaka
· Juya special kang pot meat local hot pot
The special local hot pot tastes great, and a small portion is enough for 4 people. The local hot pot is full of ingredients, including beef, mutton, meatballs, bean skin, bamboo shoots, etc. The mutton tastes not smelly, very fragrant and delicious! The milk and egg fermented glutinous rice tastes a bit like wine, sweet and smooth, and it is worth a try. Barbecue is generally not recommended.

The mutton in the kangguo mutton tastes good and the meat is not dry, and the taste is great. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, fragrant and delicious. The scrambled eggs with sand onions are crispy and tender, and have a very refreshing taste. This is the best one I have eaten. I recommend trying it. The grilled beef and mutton skewers have good taste and texture. I don’t recommend the breakfast here, the taste is average.

4⃣ Jiuquan, Gansu
· Yipin Mixed Noodle King
A small shop with an ordinary appearance but delicious special mixed noodles. The noodles are pulled by the Xinjiang brother himself. They are very chewy and the ingredients are enough to add noodles for free. It can be said that it is the best mixed noodles I have eaten on this trip. And the portion is very large, just right for two girls to eat a bowl. Its beef tastes good too, it is recommended to try it.

5⃣Dunhuang
·Shazhou Food Station
Scallion beef patties taste pretty good. The freshly fried patties are crispy on the surface, and the taste of scallions and beef is amazing. Li Guangji apricot peel tea tastes sour and refreshing. If you don't want to queue up, you can go to a homestay or supermarket to buy apricot peel tea. The taste is similar.
