    Dominion Road is one of Tamaki Makaurau Auckland’s food hotspots. This street with over 108 restaurants offers thousands of dishes from all around the world. Today we’re taking you into the kitchen of New Zealand’s only Uyghur restaurant- JadeTown Uyghur Cuisine- if you’re a meat-lover you’ll love this food- we eat traditional hanging kebab, Uyghur meat pies and cumin laden lamb. We dive into a Northeastern Thai feast at Tom Yum Eden, featuring favourites like papaya salad, pork skewers, larb and sticky rice before nabbing a sashimi don from Sashimi of Japan who sell only 101 bowls a day. We’re hunting down Auckland’s best eats, hit subscribe and get ready for some mouthwatering food.
    What we ate and where we ate it:
    1. Hanging kebab, stir-fried lamb with potatoes, cucumber salad and Uyghur pies at JadeTown Uyghur Cuisine, 598 Dominion Road, Mount Eden, Auckland 1041. Open 12:00pm to 3:00pm and 5:00pm to 10:00pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 2:00pm to 3:00pm and 5:00pm to 11:00pm Friday and 12:00pm to 11:00pm Saturday and 12:00pm to 10:00pm Sunday.

    Just want to say a big thank you for putting in the effort of pronouncing ‘Uyghur’ as accurate as you could. We are often mispronounced as ‘wee-ger’ , and a lot of people don’t realise how damaging it is to our Uyghur identity and culture.

      Thanks so much for watching Tokatch and for being so forgiving with our pronunciation! ‘Wee-ger’ is used so commonly isn’t it- we noticed it even in our comments in this video. We loved getting to eat some traditional food from your culture. It was delicious! Cheers, Sheena

      Just last week the U.S. passed a bill that bans any product from companies in Xinjiang that cannot prove they do not use forced labor with the assumption that all products manufactured in the region are using labor camps. It will be difficult to enforce but a good first step to apply some financial pressure. And just yesterday the U.S. Congress officially formed a Uyghur Congressional Caucus which is basically a committee of lawmakers who will focus on all issues regarding Uyghur human rights. We’ll see.

    We stumbled across that Uyghur restaurant a couple of years ago - wandered in off the street having no idea what kind of food they served. Turned out to be delicious and a go-to place for us. If I was going to recommend two dishes from Jade Town, I'd say definitely get the smashed cucumber salad and the fried lamb and potato dish. (It's usually served with lamb, but they'll do it with beef if you ask them.. both are really delicious).

      @ChasingaPlate  2 роки тому +1

      It sure is warmer than being in the camper van like last year 😂 NZ being so long and thin makes for some pretty different climates. Last year we were done south much more during winter so it’s much colder down there. In Auckland at the moment we’re getting lows around 7-9 and highs of around 14-15 so not bad at all for mid winter. Thomas 😀🙌

Fortunately, I have to go out to the "big town" tomorrow, so I'll add on a couple of stops to get those "exotic" foods.
