HALAL ADVENTURE IN CHINA

Alhamdulilah.

We went to 2 halal restaurant while exploring Hangzhou.

First place was at this restaurant name Xinjiang Pamir Restaurant.

Xinjiang Pamir Restaurant is popular due to real Xinjiang-style delicacies and good service. The fragrance of fried lamb with cumin, the restaurant's specialty, invites you in from the gate.

We had the best lamb skew. It is very juicy and very lamby smell. Ada ke lamby? Bau kambing yang tak mandi. It taste so delicious. The moment we had was just great.

The second one name Phoenix Mosque Restaurant.

Phoenix Mosque Restaurant is considered as the best Halal food restaurant in Hangzhou. Both the main dishes and snacks made of mutton are delicious. The most famous food at Phoenix Mosque Restaurant should be the lamb shashlik which tastes tender, hot and spicy.

Most people would buy lots of shashliks here. The mutton chop suey is the most delicious soup ever made. A big bowl of soup costs only a little. No wonder this restaurant's business is very well.
