These days Ningbo experiences the inverted yellow plum, the weather in August has been raining non-stop, the air is wet and clicking, the clothes are dry and tidey, and there is no fluffy sunshine that Should have in August. When it comes to the weekend break, I think of taking the elderly in the family out for a walk, but there is probably no other entertainment program except for a good meal for the family. Today I took my in-laws to the North Xinjiang Hotel in Gaoxin Square, Ningbo, a Xinjiang theme restaurant based on beef and mutton, it is said that the dishes are very authentic, we went to try it.
The decoration of the shop is very Xinjiang style, the business is very good at night, the attendance rate is very high, the only empty small table, and soon there will be customers sitting full.
The decoration of the roof is also very tasteful. We found a booth to sit down, which can sit up to 6 people, but it is a bit crowded.
Lamb skewers must be ordered, buy 5 get 1, 6 yuan a skewer, this plate is 30 yuan, because there have been people outside the special kebabs, so a single order, it was sent first, the air conditioning in the shop is quite cold, come up a string of people first pick up and eat while hot.
The lamb skewers taste very good, the outside is charred and tender, the seasoning is good, and the meat is also fresh, which makes people feel very relieved. Each person has a skewer, and there is more than one skewer, and the in-laws will eat another skewer.
Xinjiang handmade yogurt, must have one per person, I have a special liking for Xinjiang yogurt, delicate, milky, not sweet, original. Two years ago to Xinjiang, every morning the hotel buffet has a large basin of yogurt, I drink two bowls in the morning is enough, because it is not sweet, you can scoop the yogurt after adding honey, add raisins and various nuts, very delicious, two bowls can top a meal of breakfast, other breakfast I forgot, just remember this yogurt. Now the order in the store is 9.9 yuan a piece, we ordered 4 portions, 5 people, not enough because I still want to try the milk tea in the store.
This yogurt is served, one person and one cup, sprinkled with raisins, next to a small cup of honey, honey is not unusual, but there is a small goldfish in it that makes people curious, everyone will have a spoon to dig it, it turns out to be long at the bottom of the bowl, digging can not move, is good-looking. This yogurt is exactly the same as the yogurt eaten in Xinjiang.
Next is another special snack in Xinjiang grilled buns, we also ordered baked buns when we were in Xinjiang, 5 yuan a piece sold on the street outside, 8 yuan a in the restaurant, but the size of the restaurant is obviously larger, just like today, when it comes up, the dough is still very hot, the color is burnt buttery, very tempting.
Open it, it is lamb and onions, as soon as I take a picture, everyone will eat it while it is hot, and this grilled bun must be eaten while it is hot. If you have not been to Xinjiang, the general people think that the baked bun is probably our bun how to bake it, right?
Vegetarian dishes also ordered two, to balance the intake of meat protein, this is the cheapest vegetarian dish in the store, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, but also our national dish, 13 yuan a large portion, enough for a family to eat, shredded potatoes are finely sliced, the entrance is crisp, not greasy, not smooth, very tasty.
In addition, I ordered a gin broccoli, 23 yuan a piece, in addition to broccoli, there is gin soup, there are shrimp, salted eggs, garlic slices, etc., but the taste is not as refreshing as sour and spicy potato shreds, can only say that this dish is very general.
My thousands of calls to come out of the little bear milk tea finally came up, 16 yuan a cup, put on the plate is also so ritualistic. A cup of rose milk tea, a frozen milk tea bear, and a green incense leaf in the middle. However, the waiter said that this little bear could not stand, always lay down in the cup, had changed one for me, or fell. In fact, it is not the problem of the waiter, because the bear is too small, I once ordered the bear milk tea in other Cantonese restaurants, the bear is big, directly in the cup mouth, there will be no problem.
Slowly pour the milk tea with roses into the bear ice and watch it slowly drown, a little pitiful. But this milk tea is light and tasteless, grossly out of standard, and lackluster.
The protagonist of the night came up, and the shop's signature dish was also the first place to order: the pastry bread roasted leg of lamb came up, and the oily and polished puff pastry bread was very tempting, and there was a lamb bone next to it, posing as a leg of lamb.
Together, there are two plates of dipping sauce, compound seasonings with different flavors, and a whole piece of sugar garlic to enhance the taste and relieve the grease.
Poke the puff pastry bread with chopsticks, and inside is a square leg of lamb, which is also quite a lot.
I like that layer of puff pastry the most, which tastes like a hand-grabbed cake at breakfast, but this one is more fragrant and a little more browned.
Lamb is cooked in advance and softly boiled into the flavor, it should be roast lamb, very fragrant. The square meat grains give the impression of eating large pieces of meat, and I ate several pieces.
Underneath the lamb are onions and soft potato pieces, which are also very flavorful and full.
Finally added a staple lamb hand pilaf, in fact, we have eaten enough, but think that the in-laws must eat some rice, so ordered a portion, 29 yuan a plate, next to a piece of boiled lamb's trotters, fried rice put a few raisins, and then put a few pieces of pickles, can be degreased.
I scooped a spoonful, and on the days of my trip to Xinjiang, there was a meal specially arranged for us with pilaf, which was also the taste.
This yellow pickle, crunchy, does not know what ingredients to make.
We paid the bill to check out, 257 yuan, plus 29 yuan of pilaf, a total of 286 yuan, 5 people should eat well.
When I came out, I saw a large barrel of kavas beer, I didn't pay attention at first, I should order a little less yogurt, add a glass of Xinjiang beer to taste, and next time I have a chance to come again.
There are samples of Xinjiang bread at the door, and in Xinjiang, there is a special market for selling bread, and there are many kinds of them.
There are also freshly baked here, 5 yuan a piece, we bought two, one for the in-laws, one we took home for breakfast. It's still hot, even if you eat a lot, the bun is still torn up by us and eaten a little half, so delicious.
On summer nights, the rain has stopped, there are still some light, and the street lamp in the distance is lit, let's go home.
