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)

recent years, there's been a number of xinjiang establishments in jakarta, lanzhou beef noodles are getting popular here

yeah i've seen that! and maybe sometimes referred to as mee tarik? have to admit, i've not eaten either in .my

when i had it, it's pretty good, but very fast became boring, taste was monotone throughout the meal

i think their claim to fame is that its halal and chinese cuisine. i should really try it at least once, soon

same thing in indo, that's why i say cantonese, i don't recall much of my food experience in guangdong in the past, not as memorable as the ones i've had in HK

my first trip to guangzhou, i was wondering why the food was so bland :P i think they might win re: light seasoning (the cuisine that is cantonese in .my is heavily influenced from HK, not base guangzhou from what i gather)

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
