Taste of Urumqi Must-Try Dishes Analysis (2)

☕️ Top 5: Fragrant Tea The tea comes with beautifully shaped sugar pieces, a standard for hosting guests in Xinjiang. It has a light, refreshing aroma that cuts through the greasiness of the meal by half. 🍵 🍲 Other Delights: Lamb Soup / Naren / Salted Milk Tea / Dingding Fried Noodles and Fried Rice Vermicelli Lamb Soup: A milky white broth, rich and flavorful without any gaminess. Perfect for soup lovers. 🥄 🗽 Naren: A traditional Xinjiang dish with handmade noodle pieces, beef or lamb, and vegetables in a hearty soup. It's like a "Western-style stewed noodles," very homey and comforting. 🍲 Salted Milk Tea: This might be a bit challenging for those who haven't tried salty tea before. It's salty, with butter and milk added. It might seem odd at first, but it pairs perfectly with hand-grab rice or Naren, balancing the richness. 🍵 🗽 Dingding Fried Noodles and Fried Rice Vermicelli: I usually love these two dishes, but since the fried rice vermicelli wasn't available and I wanted to try Naren, I skipped them. If they're on the menu, definitely go for them! 🍜 After the meal, I felt incredibly satisfied. This kind of "rich flavor + generous portion" joy is rare in New York. If you love lamb, enjoy spicy and rich stews, and appreciate handmade noodles, this place should definitely be on your repeat-visit list. 🌟 🗽 Life's pressures can be put on hold, but a meal of Dapanji should not be missed! #NYCExploration #NYCDining 🗽🌟
