  • Xinjiang cuisine is some of my favorite! In this video I tried some classic including the famous BIG plate of Chicken and hand made chinese noodles. I had the Xinjiang dishes at Eden Silk Road restaurant in Fremont in the Bay area.

    HI!!!! Thanks for watching the video :-) Lot of comments about this place being expensive, I think it's not bad for the quantity of food they give you. I definitely think my fav dish there the big plate of chicken is super tasty and the large portion could feed 3 people and extra noodles are only a dollar or 2. You can'g go wrong with any noodle dish there so maybe skip the salad :-) Also like I mentioned in the video, I've never been to Xinjiang, I don't claim to know what authentic Xinjiang food tastes like. I just know the food tastes pretty good to me and that the workers and cook there are all from Xinjiang and they told me they are cooking the way they did back home. Hopefully one day I can visit and be blown away by the local cuisines, but to my Unxinjiang trained taste buds, this place tasted pretty good :-)
    Love ya! Mean it!

      Strictly Dumpling definitely go to xinjiang someday, and you will be blown away by how good the food is there, I just spent the recent Chinese New Year there and still reminiscing the awesome flavors I've had growing up, never forgotten even though I've been living in the states for 7 years now

      Strictly Dumpling Hey Mike, man you can make anything look good! I used to live in Spain (Rota) and the food was always fresh and very good! Spaniards love to incorporate garlic in their dishes, and one of my favs, was the garlic chicken! My salivary glands are going crazy just thinking about it. Keep up the great work. You need your own show on the travel channel! God bless.

    Another priceless vid from Mike. For all those who are ethnic whatever and say the cuisines he's trying here in the US is a poor substitute for your homeland's cooking, please remember most of us Americans will never get a chance to travel around the world and try everything, so even a "poor substitute" (which is really a subjective judgement, of course) is preferable than none at all.

  • @adambrickley9088
    @adambrickley9088 7 років тому +35

    If you like that type of food, the next thing you should do is go find good Uzbek food and compare/contrast. Same underlying Central Asian cuisine, even same dish names, but then you have one (Uygur) that developed under Chinese influence, and the other (Uzbek) that developed under Russian influence and has a lot of overlays from Russian cuisine. It's really, really fun to put those two side by side and look at it as a case study in how history influences food (and if you're ever in Washington, DC - there's some seriously good Uzbek food hiding in the suburbs).

    • @jamesoconnor2753
      @jamesoconnor2753 7 років тому +5

    I've been subbed for a bit now and I want to tell you that I've tried sooooooooooooooo many cuisines all over the world, but when I went to China and ate "real" Chinese food, I was totally floored, easily the best cuisine I've ever had. What I noticed was that the texture of the ingredients played a huge role in Chinese cuisine.
    The highlights from my China were the hotpot and a dish from Szechuan which was covered in fried red chilies but inside there was chicken pieces. I also had this shrimp which looked raw but was fully cooked. Supposedly a technique for cooking.
    Anyway, the Xinjiang cuisine looks amazing and I realllllllllllllly want some RIGHT NOW! :)

    For those wondering, Originally the Uyghur first settle their kingdom in present day Mongolia before migrating to Xinjiang and Gansu. The Uyghur in Xinjiang settle in the Tarim Basim and interbreed with an Indo-European/Aryan (possibly an ancient Iranian tribe) Tocharian which is why most Uyghur in Xinjiang have a wide variety of look with their culture a mixture between Arab/Iranians/Turkic and most Uyghur today live in Kashgar and Hotan while the Han are more situated in Urumqi. The other Uyghur who settle in Gansu became the Yugur which the Han Chinese refer to as the "Yellow Uyghur" The Yugur are believe to have more of the old Uyghur tradition and still follow Buddhism which were the Uyghur old religion before they converted to Islam around the 15th century. The name Urumqi derives from the "Dzungar" Mongol which means "beautiful Pasture" in their language. The Han vs Uyghur conflict is a long and confusing one. I believe most of these conflict is between the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and the CCP. Innocent Uyghur and Han get caught in the conflict between these two. The Chinese officials along with other Central Asian states have list the ETIM as a terrorist group with support from ISIS. Most of the stuff that are reported about Xinjiang comes from Western Media which likes to show the area in a bad light. Xinjiang is actually a beautiful place and the Uyghur people are some of the most hospitable people. Xinjiang isn't a place where conflicts occur everyday, in fact most Uyghur, Han, Hui, Tajik, Kazakh, Xibe are live peacefully among each other in the Autonomous Region. Don't listen to Western Media lies about Xinjiang or Rebiya Kadeer who does not represent all Uyghur people or the ETIM. The same Media that made us think Iraq have Weapon of Mass Destruction. Xinjiang is China's largest producers of natural gas and coals. Listen to Uyhgur Muqam a collection of 12 musical poem and dance that was preserve by Amannisa Khan. The music is actually good.
