This is a foodie trip. I have been preparing for it for a long time. I came here just to experience the local authentic food and to satisfy my cravings. I did some planning before the trip, but it didn’t work. It’s not of much use. Only after eating it yourself will you know what local delicacies are worth tasting. Are you ready? I’ll let your eyes eat!

When you arrive in Xining, you can’t do anything. I have to eat a meal of mutton first as the official start of my trip to the northwest~

Lamb chops

Fried potatoes

Most of the food in the northwest is pasta. I have tried it several times. Rice, in line with the principle of saving food, let’s eat pasta~ The diet in the northwest is mainly mutton and beef, with fewer vegetarian dishes. We basically ate mutton all the way, and a friend also fell in love with the mutton in the northwest~

When we arrived at Dachaidan, Master Wei took us to eat kang mutton. Originally, I only planned to have a bowl of porridge because of my gastroenteritis, but it was so fragrant that I ended up eating two pieces of mutton, a lot of potatoes, and two skewers of mutton. It can be said that it is so delicious that we have no friends, so that we have never forgotten it. We have tried it in several other places, but they are not as good as Dachaidan. I said not to put the name of the store in my travel notes, but this one is an exception~

Kang mutton and potatoes

Mutton kebabs

We all eat pasta as our staple food, so it’s no problem. Northwest pasta is also very good, so we ate it along the way. Many kinds of noodles

Ramen

There is a kind of pasta in Zhangye that looks like a small fish. It tastes very strong. It’s called fish. I ordered a small bowl and when I saw it, we all thought One bowl is enough for two people ~?

Pinch of fish

Zhangye fried firecrackers and Dunhuang are famous for their donkey meat, because we stayed at the Mogao Grottoes for 5 hours and returned to It was already past lunch time in the city, and there was nothing to eat when we went to the donkey meat yellow noodle shop. Wheat and I were very hungry, so we ate braised mutton at a mutton restaurant that looked like it should be good. It was really delicious. We finished a large portion and added a portion of white noodles. We were very satisfied~?

Red braised mutton

When it was time for dinner in the evening, we ran to eat The donkey meat yellow noodles have a very special texture. Soon after we entered the store, many people came one after another, mostly locals. It seems that this is indeed a local specialty and very popular. The texture and taste of donkey meat are quite special. After making comparisons, we still feel that the most delicious meat in the Northwest is mutton.

Donkey meat

We passed through Guazhou and passed Grape Valley when we passed Yangguan. However, there are no fruits in this season. The temperature difference between day and night is large in the northwest, so all kinds of fruits must be very good. Eat ~ If we come here in July, we will definitely be satisfied with eating fruits every day ~

Wheat likes corn soup very much. When we eat together, we must order one whenever there is corn soup. It is delicious. When there is no corn soup, it is delicious. Let’s have some fermented egg drop soup, it’s also great~

Enter Grape Valley

Because most people in the northwest eat meat, I brought enough cooked Pu’er when I went out and drank it every day , my friend’s big cup became the vessel for us to make tea, and the simple method of making tea is also very delicious. Wheat didn’t drink it at first and then drank several cups~ I like butter tea very much, but I didn’t drink it all the way. It’s a little regretful, but I made some delicious cooked Pu’er, so I’m satisfied. Let’s wait and drink the butter tea in Tibet later~?
