Apandim Uyghyr Cuisine

Apandim Uyghur Cuisine located at Sunny Park Shopping Centre serves authentic Halal Uyghur food that ranges from Handmade Noodles, pastries to stir fries and skewers.

A common Uyghur dish is laghman, a noodle dish thought to have originated from the Chinese lamian. It is a special type of handmade noodle, made from flour, water and salt. The dough is divided into small balls and then stretched by hand. The noodles are boiled until very soft and then served topped with stir-fried meat and vegetables (bell peppers, chili peppers, cabbage, onions and tomatoes) in meat stock.

Another typical Uyghur dish is polu, a Xinjiang take on Pilaf, a dish found throughout Central Asia. In a common version of the Uyghur polu, carrots and mutton (or chicken) are first fried in oil with onion, then rice and water are added, and the whole dish is steamed.

Other dishes include soups made from lamb or chicken and Kawaplar (kebabs) made from lamb or beef. Kawaplar is seasoned with chili powder, salt, black pepper and cumin.
