If you have done your homework before coming to Dunhuang, the most common food you may see is donkey meat yellow noodles. But in fact, this kind of food can only rank second in Dunhuang, and braised cakes are the most eaten by our locals.

The best Hu mutton stew cake in Dunhuang without surname in front is called Hu mutton stew cake. This shop is located at the west end of Hongtai Market in Dunhuang City. It is a small storefront of about 20 square meters with five tables. It won the first place in Jiuquan folk snacks. This shop is very crowded during the tourist season, but people just don't expand, so wherever you go, it tastes authentic. If my friends come from other places, I will take them to this small shop for dinner.

2. Yellow noodles of donkey meat-food on the tall.

You must find a suitable place to eat this delicious food. The authentic yellow face of Dunhuang donkey meat is not on the main road of Dunhuang, let alone on the night market of Shazhou in Dunhuang. There are two donkey meat noodle restaurants in Dunhuang, one is called Zhang Shun Noodle Restaurant (a century-old shop), which is located at the west end of Hongtai Market in Dunhuang, and the other is Daji Noodle Restaurant behind Tianrun International Hotel in Dunhuang. The two families are apprentices, and Zhang Shun is da ji's master. Although da ji is a disciple, his reputation has surpassed that of Master. These two stores have their own characteristics. The donkey meat in the sauce is delicious, and Daji's yellow noodles are made of gluten.

3. Mutton powder soup-the most intimate food

This is absolutely delicious in Dunhuang. Many people shake their heads at the mention of mutton. I want to clear the name of our northwest mutton, which is not bad. Many of my friends refused to eat mutton before coming to the northwest, but after eating our mutton in the northwest, it was a big change.

Office workers in Dunhuang basically eat mutton powder soup in autumn and winter mornings. If your hotel doesn't include breakfast, you might as well find a small shop nearby and play mutton powder soup in the morning. This delicious food, who really knows, usually disappears after 12, so get up early!

95% of these shops are run by local people in Dunhuang, and they all taste good. If you have to ask which one is better, you can try "Xiajiazong", "Lao Yang Sanfen Soup Shop" and "Lao Yang Wufen Soup Shop".

But you must remember two things:

① Try to choose a restaurant with many local people in Dunhuang, not a place with many foreigners;

Know the price in detail before spending, and don't get angry when checking out.
