Fried Rice Restaurant

Aside from a few trips to restaurants with Western Food, most of us here really love the local food. And eating here is very, very cheap! Lunch usually costs less than $1. The other good thing is that you can always buy water, soft drinks etc outside a restaurant and then take it inside to have with your meal. The student canteens on campus serve a large variety of very cheap food. We have worked out that the dumplings taste best in the morning if you go and get them in the break between language classes! Some of us are also very fond of Uygur food (kebabs and a flat bread called Nan). It will be hard to go back to paying more than $3 or $4 for a good meal!
