If you go
Flavorful halal food, hearty carbs, fresh dairy, and fruits are the best eats of Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Must-try dishes include:
? Kebabs (lamb skewers): crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
? Baked bun: Naan-pit baked, flaky crust with lamb, onion and fat. Bite carefully — it's juicy hot.
? Pilaf: Fragrant rice cooked with lamb, carrots and mutton fat.
? Lamb noodles: Hand-pulled noodles with stir-fried lamb, veggies and savory sauce.
? Big plate chicken: Spicy fried chicken with potatoes.
