Tarim Uyghur Handmade Noodles
This low-key Chinese restaurant brings the food of the Uyghur people to the forefront.
Overview
This popular Chinese restaurant serves up regional flavours from China's far northwestern Xinjiang province, which is home to the Uyghur ethnic group. You won't find your typical westernised Chinese meal here, so don't go looking for a bowl of classic chow mein or pot of steamed xiao long bao. Expect a fusion of Central Asian and Turkic flavours influenced by the many cultures that surround the Silk Road. Indulge in lagman — traditional handmade noodles served with diced meat, sichuan pepper and cabbage — and cumin-spiced meats.
