Uyghur are not Chinese... most of us dont consider we are Chinese. We are just occupied by Chinese communist. It doesn't mean we would identify ourselves as Chinese
You are really easy to listen to and OMG that food is making my mouth-water too haha. Can't wait to learn a lot more from you about authentic food. Subscribed :) Yas
oh my gosh,how could you finish all these dish.😍I bet you do love Uyghuras food. I would highly recommend you to try kawa manta,which is steamed pumpkin pie,or should I say big dumpling, anyway,that is my favorite Uyghuras dish, yum 😋
Gee they really like to stack those plates up high. That's interesting they chopped up the noodles in the 'Ding Ding' dish. I don't think I've seen this before.
Wow, what an awesome video covering these Uyghur Chinese dishes very well. Your video made me so hungry. I was born in Almaty Kazakhstan which is very close to Far West China region but never had a chance to visit China. But I have tried Laghman many times before simply because this is fairly common dish in Almaty. Thank you so much for sharing this video and bringing back precious memories.
Nice! Well how about this - you let me know when you decide to visit the China side and I'll let you know when I finally have a chance to visit Almaty :-)
I love :Travel Xinjiang: Far West China channel. So well produced videos and great insight into a part of China that is not well covered. Bravo! The Polo looks like Uzbek Plov, one of my fave dishes in central asia!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos :) Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with other parts of Central Asia, but I hear that the rice pilaf is quite common throughout.
Austin, very innovative video. I love watching people eat the various quisines in China. I hardly ever want to try the street food I see some people obsess over. Guess I am afraid of getting sick from gutter oil. But restaurant food always looks so tasty.
Thanks! I understand the fear, but honestly, gutter oil is only really a problem in Guangdong and the immediate surrounding areas - I don't think I've ever seen a news story about gutter oil that wasn't about Guangdong, and I'd wager that the majority of China's food scandals (that make the news, anyway) come from Guangdong, Shanghai, and sometimes Beijing. I've seen scandals in other places, but they are very, very few compared to those areas. Food safety is a general concern in China, but it's definitely improving every year, and when it comes to the really heinous stuff, a lot of the stories seem to center in Guangdong, so if you're outside of there, you should be fine! :)
We are not chinese muslim !! chinese muslim live in the west of xijiang/east turkestan. we are eastern turks!!! "now, we shall not let our enemy destroy us, because our name is Törk" (Uygur national anthem/Qurtuluş marşı)
this dish is not normal dish you can eat out there because xinjian have few thousand years old related with chinese kingdom date back many millennium and foods are not much changes since then lot of delicious meal only found today still in xinjian city
Really colorful and appetizing looking dishes. Food over in Asia is just so good! Having watched this all the way through with each dish has now brought on a bit of hunger!
Honestly, I know nothing about Far West China.... I think it would be interesting to see and do. We have restaurants in Toronto that serve these dishes too in the east end. Pretty crazy when I think about it.
It's interesting to see some different cuisines in China as in North America and Europe we are used to the same sort of stuff at Chinese restaurants. I've never even heard of this region before. China is such a big country to explore.
It is! Yea, this western part of China usually doesn't get the same kind of attention that the eastern side does. It certainly feels more "Central Asia" than "China" out here at times.
Thanks for the explanations, it really makes me want to taste all of these dishes (except the very spicy one, seems to "red" for me^^). I'm so hungry looking at the images in your video;). How could you eat so many disches in the same meal ;)? Good for us that we could see all of them:).
Wow that food looked delicious. Besides getting to know locals, another important thing to get to know a country is eating locals food. Thanks for that great video.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching. I agree with you - food is an important part of engaging with a culture and it doesn't help if you always eat at McDonalds or Subway while you travel!
What is the proper pronunciation of the word "Uyghur"? Why is everyone saying "Weegur"? There's no "W" in the word Uyghur. How do the locals pronounce their ethnic name?
"Weegur" IS the proper pronunciation. That's why everyone says it like that. It's a quirk of making an English spelling of a non-English speaking people. The Uy -> Wee
I am an Uyghur, me and many of the uyghurs I know actually don't like to be called weegur...we call ourselves "Uuu-y-gh-u-r" U like in Uganda for example . Uyghur means united comes from a unification of many tribes back in the history. It is like United States of America gets the shortened name united after thousand years. The misproounciation I believe comes from the Chinese translation.
I feel that you are not the brave to try real exotic food of the locals. It is like an American who order the typical fried rice,chow men. Sweet a d sour pork.
The restaurant you were in is near by home, bro. Just 10 min walk. Enjoy it, this was my favorite restaurant when I was in middle school. Btw, your Xinjiang Hua is pretty good!
Great video but I wish you kept it at least 10 minutes or more. What's interesting about your approach is that you introduced dishes that would be familiar to a typical Westerner. The dishes looked like variations of rice pilaf and pasta dishes with meat sauce.
What's your reasoning behind the 10 minutes? Do you feel like there were parts of the video you wanted to be longer? It's interesting that you say that these dishes would be "familiar to a typical Westerner". In my experience (and opinion), these dishes are completely unknown and unfamiliar to most westerners! It suits their palette, sure, but it's not familiar.
There are some Uyghur restaurants that may offer laghman and some derivatives of the dish from other cultures, but it's not something I've found easily outside of China.
He went there with some friends who were off camera. Didn't you notice a couple of shots that had to have had a cameraman? I think he said there were two or three others
What you've been doing is just amazing Josh, thank you, at the same time also unbelievable! How come do they allow you vlogging around Urumqi/Xinjiang with your camera like this??
This is great, very few people visited Xinjiang, Food ranger did couple episode about Xinjiang, he was concentrated on street food, seems different from what you have ordered, Winston ( Serpentza is so afraid of Xinjiang, he always say that foreigners are banned from there, also it is too politically sensitive, he would not risk to travel there, you guys being stay there for some time , could you tell us if it is true, foreigners have to be careful when visit Xinjiang.
Yea, I saw the Food Ranger while he was here (ruclips.net/video/C372glld7tE/видео.html) - really neat guy. I've never heard Winston talk about Xinjiang like that. If so, he is mistaken. I don't think you need to be any more careful here than you would in other parts of China. In fact, because of all the security forces, I would say that it's probably one of the safest places in China right now! :) I talk more about how safe Xinjiang is (or isn't) here: ruclips.net/video/DEISQBR_Gi4/видео.html
May be you could contact Winston directly, I really like to see if he and C-milk can explore --Gansu, Qinghai and Xingjiang area, may be plus Yinchuan where ,mean while, a Muslim 25 year old girl from Indonesia is doing vlog , people are quite different at Yinchuan. most of them are Muslim.
Very cheap and SHITY choice , should go for lamb ribs , back chops , lamb shrank and finally kofte kebab ( lamb mince with chopped onions and some herbs )
Do Uyghurs from Xinjiang consider themselves Chinese? Where are they originally from, do they have their own country? How did they end up being part of China? Were they always been historically part of China?
Do Okinawans from Ryukyu consider themselves Japanese?Where are they originally from,do they have their own country? How did they end up being a part of Japan? Were they always been historically part of Japan?
That's actually a much harder question to answer than it seems. The problem is that in the English language, "Chinese" can mean both a country resident or an ethnic group. That's not the case in the Chinese language. There is a specific 中国人 (for the country citizen) or a 汉族人 (for the Chinese ethnic group). So if you're asking do Uyghur consider themselves Chinese, the answer is both "yes" and "no". Are they citizens of China? Yes. Are they ethnically Han Chinese? No. They are Uyghur, and very proud of that fact. As for the historicity of the region, there is much debate that's not worth going into here. Too much political baggage.
Why are you asking me about Okinawa? Are you trying to make a point? I don't understand your point. My question did not had any implied criticism. But if i have to answer your question, yes, most Okinawans view themselves as Japanese, but many don't. There is even an independence movement in Okinawa, more and more people want to succeed. While Okinawans view themselves as Japanese, they also think of themselves as different from the mainland. Okinawans are heavily discriminated against, and treated like second class citizens in the mainland. I've seen this first hand. Okinawan people are ethically Ryukyuan people, they are native to the Ryukyu Islands. They became part of Japan after being annexed in 1879. They were annexed without their consent. Just like Hokkaido. Unlike China, Japan does not officially recognize any minorities, despite having many.

Gee they really like to stack those plates up high. That's interesting they chopped up the noodles in the 'Ding Ding' dish. I don't think I've seen this before.

wooow they all looks so delicious!!! I think I'd love to try Polo and Laghman! the last one seems too spicy for me :)
Haha! Yea, it might be a bit too spicy, but I think you would love the polo and laghman :)

Definitely some good food that's worth trying if you're ever out here!
去过两次新疆，感觉什么都是羊膻味，所以没有尝试太多的食物。
I like how they make the rice really stand on their own. Not even a little bit starch leakage.
Fantastic!

There are some Uyghur restaurants that may offer laghman and some derivatives of the dish from other cultures, but it's not something I've found easily outside of China.

Looks like a cross between what you would expect Chinese and middle eastern food to look like
Polo looks exactly like Plov here in Kazakhstan. The Kazakhs also like lagman.
Looks over oily
Sometimes the polo (rice pilaf) can be a bit oily - so I can't eat it every day - but overall it's very well cooked and absolutely delicious!
Travel Xinjiang: Far West China I think they should serve u some pickles like what u eat with huge burger in the states u know that sour taste one
That's kind of what the carrot salad is for - it helps to cut the oil a bit :)
