A stall serving Xinjiang food has opened up in the basement of Cineleisure near Hunan Big Bowl. I went for that Signature Uyghur Pilaf above, which they advertised on big signs. It sounded very interesting because it was supposed to be rice laced with mutton fat and seasoned with cumin. There were several families here sharing assorted dishes from these guys, so I figured that they must be doing something right.
I was surprised to find though that it was a bit sweet from raisins and carrots, and the rice wasn't as fatty, salty, nor earthy as I had imagined it. I liked the spicy pickles that it came with at least, and I am kinda curious about the other things on the menu like a spicy noodle, flat bread, and yogurt. There is also a stall next to it doing that glutinous rice tea so I don't have to worry about Dakotea disappearing when Taste Orchard closes.
