What are the food recommendations for Dunhuang cuisine?

Many people only remember the scenic spots in Dunhuang when they go to Dunhuang, but they don't try the delicious food in Dunhuang. In fact, there are many delicious foods in Dunhuang. You can try it when you go. Don't miss the following. Let's see what they have.

Hu mutton stew cake-the most grounded food If you do your homework before you come to Dunhuang, you may see the yellow noodles of donkey meat the most. But in fact, this food can only rank second in Dunhuang, and red sesame seed cake is the most eaten by our locals.

Red sesame seed cake is the best dish for Dunhuang father-in-law to receive his son-in-law. If you are taken home by your girlfriend to eat stew in Dunhuang, your business will be 90%. In Shazhou Night Market, you will see many brands such as "Yangji Huyang Braised Cake" and "Zhangji Huyang Braised Cake", but these brands are not eaten by local people.

The best Hu mutton stew cake in Dunhuang, with no surname in front, is called Hu mutton stew cake. This shop is located at the west end of Hongtai Market in Dunhuang City. It's a small storefront of about 20 square meters with five tables. Won the first place in Jiuquan folk snacks. This store has a lot of people in the tourist season, but people just don't expand, so no matter where you go, it tastes authentic. If my friends are from other places, I will take them to this small shop to eat. In addition to mutton stew, they also have chicken stew and meat stew. I recommend mutton, which is very fragrant. It takes about 30 minutes to cook from the beginning. This is the most grounded, affordable and delicious snack in Dunhuang.

Price: large portion of 98 yuan, enough for 4-6 people; 78, enough for 3-5 people to eat; A small part of 68 is enough for 2-3 people.

Address:  Hongtai Market Xikouhu Mutton Braised Cake Shop

Yellow noodles with donkey meat-a tall food Dunhuang yellow noodles with donkey meat is the most popular food on major food websites, but in fact, Dunhuang locals don't eat yellow noodles with donkey meat very much now, probably because of complicated procedures. So, the locals will be very strange. I don't know why tourists eat a bowl of donkey meat and yellow noodles when they arrive in the local area.

But as the saying goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat underground", so the yellow face of donkey meat is still worth a try. However, I advise you not to buy it at Shazhou night market. 90% of the stalls in the night market are changed by Sichuan cuisine restaurant, and the taste is really average.

Dajihuang noodles

You must find the right place to eat these delicious foods. Authentic Dunhuang donkey meat yellow noodles are not found on Dunhuang main roads, let alone in Dunhuang Shazhou night market. There are two donkey meat noodle restaurants in Dunhuang, one is called Zhang Shun Noodle Restaurant (a century-old shop), which is located at the west end of Hongtai Market in Dunhuang, and the other is Daji Noodle Restaurant behind Tianrun International Hotel in Dunhuang. The two families are apprentices, and Zhang Shun is da ji's master. Although da ji is a disciple, his reputation has surpassed that of Master. These two stores have their own characteristics. The donkey meat in the sauce is delicious, and Daji's yellow noodles are made of gluten.

Hundred years old shop-Shunzhanghuang noodles

Generally, tourists to Zhang Shun are literate people, and that place is quiet. Most tourists who go to Daji are selfie sticks and local tyrants, and the decoration of this store is relatively high-grade. If it is the tourist season, you have to wait in line for 30-40 minutes.

Per capita consumption: 80- 100,

Address: west of Hongtai Market and Tianrun International Hotel in Dunhuang 100 meters.

Mutton powder soup-the most intimate food-can definitely be called Dunhuang delicious. Many people shake their heads at the mention of mutton. I want to clarify the name of our northwest mutton, which is not bad. Many friends didn't eat mutton before coming to the northwest, but after eating our mutton in the northwest, it has changed a lot.

Mutton powder soup store

Office workers in Dunhuang basically eat mutton powder soup in autumn and winter mornings. If your hotel doesn't include breakfast, you might as well find a small shop around you to make mutton powder soup in the morning. This delicious food, who really knows, usually disappears after 12, so get up early!

95% of these shops are run by local people in Dunhuang, and they all taste good. If you have to ask which one is good, you can try "Xiajiazong", "Lao Yang Sanfen Soup Shop" and "Lao Yang Wufen Soup Shop".

Per capita consumption: 15 yuan

Address: 200 meters west of Tianrun International Hotel in Dunhuang, where there are many local shops.

Other snacks point to the popular "Dunhuang stuffed skin" in Dunhuang snacks. The taste is certain, but it tastes sour. Personally, I don't recommend it. There is also an iced drink "apricot skin water" in Dunhuang, just like the sour plum soup in the south. It is made of pigment+citric acid+tap water+Dunhuang apricot skin.

It's not impossible to try, after all, everyone has different tastes, in case you happen to like it ~

But you must remember two things:

① Try to choose a restaurant with many local people in Dunhuang, rather than a place with many foreigners;

Know the price in detail before spending, and don't get angry when checking out.

Eating all day is not realistic. You can take a day trip to Yumenguan and Ya Dan Ghost Town. Then come back to the city in the evening. If you are worried about the unsafe registration of local hotels, you can buy them online in advance. Travel is about being practical ~
