i think i am super exposed to cantonese/hakka cuisine, hailing from malaysia. i like jing cuisine (having spent a few months there once), and while there i came to enjoy chuanr, which is Xinjiang cuisine (and their other stuff too)

ya the main selling point is that it's halal, tbh the ones i've had here are really weak in terms of complexity compared to other chinese cuisines, even when compared to fujian, that's known to be light in seasoning

they are like those arabs with beards you know i honestly don’t get the concept but as i said in my other reply, they don’t offer food delivery and that’s why we haven’t tried it yet
