Interesting food !
Coming from Ipoh where delicious cuisines are easily available and affordable, the food we tasted on the Silk Road tour was far from good, but we ate and enjoyed for the sake of filling our stomachs. Our usual dinner or lunch dishes were mostly vegetables ( 9 out of 10 ) with one or two meat dishes, man tau (plain pao ) and noodle.
biang biang mee a.k.a belt mee famous in Xi'an
from the sound made when the mee dough beats
on the table while making. Nothing spectacular in taste.
A king size version of pan mee .
The Chinese character for biang is a big mouthful !
Savouring famous beef noodle in Lanzhou.
Cannot even find a piece of beef, just soup + noodle
No spoon for soup, so just hold the bowl and
SLURP !
Our usual meal with mostly vegetable dishes cooked in
different style. Fresh water carp was quite common, but
we avoided it because of the many y bones.
Ayatollahwas the 'head of the family', so he must
initiate the dinner by plunging a knife into
the roasted lamb.Beautiful khazak girls accompanied him.
Expected to enjoy eating the roasted lamb, but we were rather disappointed to
see the meat hand torn into odd shapes. Spoilt our appetite.
Connie and the Khazak girls.
They performed a dance. before dinner.
