Bahari: Bahari is a black cake, which contains all kinds of dried fruits and nuts. Some of them have raisins or roses on their surfaces. Honey is an important ingredient to form Bahari flavor, making it sweeter and more nutritious. Bahari tastes compact and tastes like brownies. The kind with thin and dense honeycomb holes is delicious Bahari. Ah Fu's favorite collocation is Bahari with iced milk for afternoon tea.
Milk skin crisp: It is the inside of the crispy skin, and the stuffing with Xinjiang characteristics, such as raisins, walnuts, roses and small white apricots, is also added. The taste of crispy milk skin is a bit like that of pineapple cake. The crispy shell is rich in milk fragrance and the stuffing is delicate, which is generally super sweet. Ah Hu loves to eat crispy milk skin, but he can only eat one piece at a time. Eating too much is really a bit greasy. This is also a great afternoon tea with iced milk!
Scorpion: Scorpion is made of white flour, which is mixed with eggs and clear oil, kneaded, rolled flat, cut into strips, twisted into ring-shaped thin strips, and fried in an oil pan. The fried prickly heat presents a golden appearance, crisp and delicious. It has a unique aroma and taste, and it tastes soft and chewy. In Xinjiang, prickly heat is often used as a snack for breakfast or afternoon tea. People can enjoy it with milk tea, soybean milk or other foods such as beef and mutton. Although this is a very common snack, you must try Xinjiang's prickly heat, and some stores will add dried fruit, which is a completely different experience!
These desserts can be bought in most dessert shops. After visiting a few, I found that there are too many kinds of cakes with the same name and the appearance will change. Ah Fu's popular pastry shops are:
Minzhong Sweetheart Store (near Grand Bazaar) is famous for its Zanzi, Bahali, Napaliyong and Midovi.
Arman dessert shops (chain stores) recommend buying layers of cakes, Napoleon, Barbera, Baklava and cut cakes (also called Maren sugar).
Maiquer (yogurt is delicious) cakes recommend cake-cutting pagoda (nut pagoda), milk skin crisp, sugar Carter, shrimp rolls and so on.
