      I'm really enjoying these videos. The west coast of America is as alien to me as China so it's all interesting. Wish I was travelling with you guys, but these videos are the next best thing. 😊

      Thanks for exposing me to uyger food! Before this I thought Chinese food was just noodles and dumplings. As a Muslim I also appreciate another source of halal to tell my friends about. As far as the alcohol is concerned, Muslims are prohibited from drinking and serving alcohol but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you brought your own. BYOB could be fun in that situation! Make a game of pretend hiding it from the staff as you pass it around under the table. That's what we did as teenagers 😉!

      The real reason why WEST media falsely accuses CHINA of mistreating Uyghur Muslims is because they want to prevent the 1.6 Billion Chinese worldwide and 2.0 Billion Muslims from working together. Both these groups have been discriminated by USA and the WEST for decades and are more likely to work together. Chinese & Muslim nations working together will lead to US losing its dominance of the world. Plus this will gain Asia, Russia and African support too including the rest of the world.

      I ordered the same dishes that Winston and Matt did and I can say that the food was even better IMO than this video made it out to be... I ordered the small plates and it fed 2 people easily. I'm scared to see their large portion sizes!! It's probably a 2.5 to 3 $$$ range but you can look at their menu online by searching for them using either google Maps or Yelp. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED AND WILL BE GOING BACK AGAIN SOON. LOOK FOR MY REVIEW ON YELP ONCE I GET THE TIME TO POST ONE.

      Uyghur is pretty unique because it's west china, but of a distinct ethnic group within that region. I haven't heard of it until I tried their food for the first time last month. I even shot a video of my experience there on my channel if you wanna see it!

I think it's great that you're bringing attention to these smaller independent restaurants. I'm sure a small place like this will see a noticeable spike in traffic. Would love to try someday.

    There are hundreds of shows where people go to restaurants and comment on the food yet you manage to transcend the absolute majority of them. Your ability to speak factually about the various dishes, their history, your personal experience and then compare/contrast them with authentic dishes is what elevates your show.
    I was concerned that this would be another insipid food tasting experience but I’m absolutely loving every episode. Simply amazing. Keep it up!!

    The people from Xinjiang province aren't middle eastern, they're central asian. Central asians are a different racial group who are native to the central asian steppes. They have middle eastern and arabic culture because islamic missionaries went north and converted them. Other central asian countries include Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and kyrgyzstan. They have more in common with the Mongols than the Chinese. The Turks in Turkey and the Turkmen of Turkmenistan actually originate from Xinjiang province, although after centuries of intermixing they hold very little of their original central asian genes and are now a mixture of Caucasian and middle eastern and middle eastern respectively.

    • @amiriothegreat
      @amiriothegreat 6 років тому +15

      UB3RFR3NZY ^^^This! Good summary. I wish people knew a bit more about this region. Too many people wrongly group them all up as Arabs, even though they're not semetic. It's a multi ethnic region, but in general, (if I'm not mistaken, I'd be happily corrected), Central Asians are ethnicly "Northern Mongols" (for lack of a better term), West Asians from Turkey + Caucasus + Iran are Aryans, West Asians from the Fertile Crescent + the Arabian Peninsula are Semites, and North Africans + Horn of Africa are Hamites.

    • @bietbibi
      @bietbibi 6 років тому +17

      No, Mongols are Tibetan Buddhists, not muslims. The look exactly like East Asians, not central Asians. Mongolian language has a lot in common with Korean rather than Turkish. The only thing central asians have in common with Mongols is their nomadic lifestyle.

    • @bietbibi

    Those Uyghur noodles are called “lagman” and are popular all over Central Asia- Xinjiang, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. “La Mian” must be the Chinese word. Lagman is the more common term amongst speakers of Turkic languages. When we were sort of “stranded” in Ürümqi after flight cancellations we explored a bit and met Uyghurs at the market. My wife is Kazakh and was able to understand Uyghur language because it is very similar to Kazakh.

      Average Turkish people should be able to understand %60-%70 of Uyghur language right away. When I listened to an Uyghur song the first time, I was amazed that I could understand what it says. I believe if I go to the Uyghur region, I can communicate them without any problem.

      Panzer Blitz. Most Chinese Muslim food are not uyghur food. If you see 清真 on a restaurant, it means halal. They are food of 回 hui people who are descendants of Arab traders in 10th century and Chinese. They look just like any other Chinese after the Arabic genes were diluted for a millennium.

    I visited Xinjiang in 2016. The capital Urumqi is a very polluted city and rapidly growing. It had 3.5 million 2016, up from 1 million about 10 years ago. It feels more like central Asia than China. There is a high speed rail link. A metro system is being built. There will be 5 million people in a few years. Xinjiang province is a sea of wind farms and solar farms everywhere. My favourite city in Xinjiang is Turpan, a small city of 200,000 at China's lowest elevation below sea level. It feels very Mediterranean in character and Mediterranean type of crops being grown including grapes for wine.
    Xinjiang is rapidly becoming a front door to China rather then a back lot with the opening of the new silk road. The Chinese government has a plan for an 1,100 km water tunnel to turn the Taklamakan Desert into another irrigated California Valley by taking water from Tibet. The evidence of development is everywhere in Xinjiang.
    Winston and Matt have said they will not go there but I would love to see a "Conquering Western China" video.

    • @ADVChina
      @ADVChina  6 років тому +2

      sometimes in the edit, I will adjust the score if I felt that either I wasn't fair, or if I misspoke. In this case, I found footage (I had forgotten) of me eating real baked buns in a Xinjiang restaurant in China, and they were exactly the same as the ones Winston had, which leads me to believe the buttery preparation might be the real deal. My apologies.

    • @peacefulgary7557

      Wait, what? I'm confused. I've always thought the ratings are the average of both of their scores.

      Your most likely correct. For whatever reason, my brain didn't jump to that idea. Guess i'm just bring up the number of comments.

    • @peacefulgary7557
      @peacefulgary7557 6 років тому

      I'm actually more confused by what +ADVChina said because didn't only Winston give a score on authenticity of the buns, while C-Milk passed on the rating, so the 9/10 rating only came from Winston...? lol

    Hi guys, I absolutely love your videos, they are so informative and entertaining, and some of the sights you show are breathtaking. I am Australian, and Chinese food in Australia remains popular but not as popular as it was in in years gone by.
    Here in Australia we had a big influx of people from Thailand, and Indonesia during the 80's and the range of eastern food we have available here now is crazy. Thai food seems to be the most popular and mum and dad Chinese restaurants (westernised Chinese food types) are now closing as their proprietors are become old and their offspring do not seem to want to take part in the family food business, which is sad for those like me who adore Chinese food, in my immediate area, say about 20 years ago, I had access to over 9 Chinese restaurants and now there are only a couple, but there are many Thai ones. I do not mind Thai food but its like anything else, really good or really bad. I wonder how you both feel about Thai food?
    We have in the city of Sydney like most places in the world an entire block dedicated to Chinese food and Chinese supermarkets, ours is called Dixon Street....it has changed and revamped over the years, but the fibre of it remains authentic.
    Anyhow keep up the excellent work, love it....xxx

    Great video and thanks for your effort to introduce different food cultures! But I couldn’t resist the urge to correct you on the names of the food in this eps. Not La mian but Leghmen; not Kao baozi but Samsa; not Lamb pie/nang baorou but Gösh’nan, the name Nang baorou actually is used to call Qordaq (another traditional Uyghur food) by the Chinese speakers,. And also the drink is called Süt’chay. I can understand that you were probably making the names easier to remember, but keep it original is also respecting the culture.
