My first food adventure for the year - Uyghur food. I do not know anything about Uyghur so it was interesting to read about the history. The Uyghurs are from Xinjiang and has their origins from Turkey.
The dishes we had were mostly bland. The lady boss asked me what I thought of the food. When I told her it was bland, she said that the flavours were toned down to meet the locals' tastebuds. I guess that is how most dishes are here in Sweden. Indian food is not spicy too. However, I think some Chinese restaurants maintain their Sichuan flavour in some dishes and a lot of Chinese diners visit these restaurants.
We shared the recommended dish, hand-pulled noodles known as Shah Laghman SEK179 - a dish of meat, vegetables and noodle. I found the dish bland. The noodle has a dense texture.
Shared a cold chicken salad that came with Sichuan pepper and chilli sauce SEK189, which I did not know it was cold. I was surprised the dish came out fast and understood after that as it is a cold dish. There was not much chicken strips. More of onion strips instead. I don't enjoy the numbing feeling of Sichuan pepper. It was suggested by the waiter when he told us that the fish dish takes 30 minutes and we decided to choose something else.
Also had two samosa that is filled with minced lamb. Tasteless. I think it could have salt. SEK39 each.
Last dish is stir-fried wood-ear mushroom SEK159. This is tasty.
