Ha! I'm happy with those who are willing to enjoy the videos. Thanks for the encouragement, though 😂

Wow...I'll have to check out that restaurant next time I'm in Sydney. I wonder how the DaPanJi compares?!

Haha! Thanks for taking the time to comment...now get some good sleep ;)

Ha! I don't know about healthy for sure, but it's definitely tasty ;)

One of my favorites too!

Not Hui, Uighur, however it was most likely created by a cook from sichuan or Hunan living in Xinjiang.

YES! Ha :) Have you had it before, Sally?

i want it too

Ha! I just don't get the whole chicken foot thing. It seems like there's NO POINT! :-)

The point is to eat the texture, just like pig's ear, the crunchy cartilage. Dim Sum phoenix claws are also marinated with a special sauce, so you also eat the taste. You should try it ;)

The POINT of eating chicken foot is sucking the juice and flavor out of the soft skin, which is "supposedly good" for your own skin. It's NOT about eating meat because there isn't any.

Ha! So glad it brings back good memories for you, Bob. I'm not sure what dish you're referring to in Karamay but it does sound delicious :)

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Yea...I think I'll pass ;)

Ha! Yea, not for the faint of heart. :)

My pleasure! I'm glad you guys enjoy the videos. Always an encouragement :)

Yea, we have metal detectors in every restaurant, grocery store and small hole-in-the-wall nowadays. It's annoying but just part of life now.

大盘鸡本来是回族的特菜，四川有没有一大群回族人口吗？

It is delicious!

Haha! Awesome :)

That's great! Sorry it doesn't fit your menu - Xinjiang is a hard place for vegetarians to survive, I think :)

Ha! I wouldn't go that far, but I feel blessed having lived here so long. The 第一盘 that I visited in this video is on 南湖北路70号 (70 Nanhu Beilu).

Hi Antony! I agree - the head and feet aren't my favorite, but everything else is awesome :) Yes, you can find LOTS of beef noodles out here!

It had to be cancelled due to technical difficulties. I'm trying to reschedule!

Yes, it is halal! The dish is a Muslim dish so most any restaurant where you eat it is halal. Also, as far as sharing goes, it's perfectly normal to share a dish between many people. In fact, it was a bit weird for me to eat a plate by myself ;)

I have no doubt that you would ;) I personally had two glasses of Kavas!! Haha.

Ha! I arrived early so that I knew the room would be empty. It's easier to film in your own room ;)

Haha! Yea, I guess that would work. Don't forget the good bread and noodles at the end!

Agreed! I've eaten DaPanJi elsewhere in China and it's just not the same. Also, I believe you are right - the birthplace of DaPanJi (at least what I've been told) is here in Xinjiang. Thanks for the comment!

应该差不多，我不确定因为我没喝过俄罗斯的格瓦斯。

Delicious :)

Yes, they used to be called Dungans in China as well, but they've switched over to calling them Hui for some reason.

Liking Xinjiang...yes. Converting to Islam...no can do.

Really?! Why not, Peter? You have me curious ;)

Because, I'm fussy what I put in my stomach. I have experienced food poisoning too many times in my Asian travels. Korea, China, Japan. Even got food poisoning from my cooking when I lived in Tokyo. I'm careful about keeping all the cooking utensils clean etc., but something slipped through. So, nowadays, I stick with what I know. I never eat KFC, except in Thailand. Its fantastic there . In Bangkok, at the Seacon Square shopping centre.. Amazing . No chicken feet though :-)

Chicken feet ......Not on my bucket list, I'm afraid ...
