Jadetown Uyghur Cuisine

Uyghur cuisine comes from the Xinjiang province in Northern China, bordering countries like Mongolia and Russia. You see that Central Asian influence in the food. Since most Uyghur people are Muslim, you won’t find pork on the menu; there is a lot of lamb, including a whole roasted one for advance order if you find yourself entertaining. Flavour is heavy on cumin and chilli, with unique dishes not found elsewhere, like the baked lamb-filled meat pies and the braised lamb and carrot rice, where the rice is cooked in a sweet carrot broth. Oh, and there are skewers, of course. Everything is singular, tasty and designed for sharing, allowing for the perfect balance of texture and bold flavour.
