🍢 Taste of Uyghur: Helsinki's Xinjiang Flavors, Worth the Trip for Skewers 📍 Address：Tulppatie 8, Helsinki 🌟 Why We Braved the Distance：A reader recommended this spot, and our craving for lamb skewers won—even though it’s a trek from home! 🍪 Layered Baked Buns (€14) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 pieces fresh from the oven, crispy outer layers and warm, flaky goodness. First time trying these—loved the novelty, but wish the filling was more generous. 🍲 Sour Soup Lamb (€10) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tangy soup that hits the spot—seriously appetizing! Tender lamb with zero gamey taste, but portion size was tiny for the price. 🥩 Iron Plate Beef (€20) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Friends said it tasted just like back home—savory, tender, and full of wok hei. Gone in minutes though... blink and you’ll miss it. 🐑 Big Plate Lamb Chops (€45) Decent flavor, but the lamb still had a noticeable gamey taste. Chops needed more stewing—they weren’t as tender as we hoped. 🍢 Grilled Lamb Skewers (€3/each) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The real MVP! Juicy, well-seasoned, and worth every euro (and every minute of the commute). Get at least two—you’ll thank me later. 💡 Final Thoughts: Great Flavors, So-So Value Pros: Authentic Xinjiang flavors, especially the skewers and sour soup. Cons: Prices are steep for the portion sizes (looking at you, €45 lamb chops). Go for the skewers, skip the pricey mains if you’re on a budget. #XinjiangCuisine #HelsinkiEats #UyghurFood #LambSkewersFTW #NordicStudyAbroad
