I am in Shanghai, and we have come to a really cool market

This is the Friday morning

Muslim market so we are right inside the who she mosque and this market was actually closed down for a

short period of time and May 2014

But then it's reopened and it looks like things that are in full swing here

So this market is operated by the weaker minority group of China

Which comes from the far western region of China shinjang Province?

And there's gonna be a lot of good food here. I can already smell. It looks really good

It's a little bit smaller than I expected, but that's alright. We're gonna go and see what we can find, so let's go explore

Okay, we have our first snack at the Muslim warning market here in Shanghai and as I mentioned

This is not Shanghai style food. This is Shin charm style food, so we have ordered up something that looks pretty incredible. This is a

Extremely greasy Nero bow or beef, bun so they've got a massive

Griddle over there that they are frying these in a ton of oil

It's almost like deep-frying them, but then they mix a little bit of water

And then they cover the top and let that all steam away

And these are packed full of beef so it's a little bit hot and we just waited in quite a popular lineup

But let's try this out. It is extremely golden crispy on the bottom so Stratos

Hmm, so there is a lot going on in there those are super super juicy really really crispy on the outside, too

it doesn't have much of like a

elasticity from that bond at all because it's

Pretty much fried the whole way through. There's a lot of beef going on in there, and it's just straight meat

I don't see any vegetables. Let's take another bite

You get a little bit more meat this time

But actually a lot of oil kind of like juiced out onto my hand when I bit into that last time

So that is

Ridiculous, ridiculously juicy there is I think there's a few green onions in there?

But it's all about the meat in the middle of how juicy that is but other than that it's really greasy

Kind of heavy for breakfast today

So that was a really popular stall we just got those beef buttons from the line is extremely long now

Really nicely spiced beef, but really really greasy, so let's keep going. We'll find something else today

Not long ago

Okay, we have our next snack today and check this out here

we have a massive bowl of pilaf and

Basically what pilaf is is rice that has been cooked in a broth so it is a broth of

Lamb and you can see here

There is a huge chunk of lamb mostly bone

But there should be a little bit of media on there, and then this pilaf has some carrots

And it looks like some chickpeas over here, and I could just smell the spices coming out of this already it smells

Incredible the woman cooking it up had a huge bowl of the peel off and she was serving people a lot

And I mean that is a ton of rice that is certainly gonna fill us up

So hopefully we can still do some more eating after this this was 30 remin B

So I mean I think that's worth it for how much rice

This is this is handsy, so let's let's just take a big spoonful of this rice

So this rice is cooked right inside of

The the stalk the broth, so it absorbs all that delicious flavor of that lamp and let's try that

You just get a little chick beat some carrots

That is extremely flavorful

You can taste a little bit of like a little little spice

Maybe some black pepper or maybe a little bit of chilli. This is definitely meaty

You can kind of taste like the oiliness from that lamb. Let me try to get a piece of lamb meat here

I can't really see what's going on because it's all kind of covered in rice

But I should be able to get a piece. Okay. Let's take this

some more

Carrots in a chickpea, and that's pretty fatty piece, but let's try that

Mmm

That lamb is phenomenal mmm

That was almost completely fat, which I ate from that lamb bone

But super super smooth completely dissolved in my mouth those chickpeas in there are also really really soft

That lamb has a really nice roast

Smokiness to it man. This is incredible

This is actually so full of flavor there might be a little bit of turmeric in here because I see some yellow color coming off

of it

Mmm, okay, I just discovered where the all the meat was hiding it was right underneath that bone and look at that

Oh, man, that is some juicy-looking lamb oh

Look at that oh

Man, okay, let's get some rice

And I'm just gonna devour this barely any rice

Actually, I might just have to go just meet my spoon doesn't have enough room for any rice. Let's try that

Oh, man

That is so tender that lamb was

ridiculous, so

So juicy and so so tender and I could definitely taste some smokiness from the roast

But also a little bit of a cumin flavor to it that goes along so well with this pilaf rice, man

This is this is a stellar dish

So we have here one of the Weger specialties and that is the naan which is just bread basically

so they cook this in a big kind of tandoor oven and

I guess we didn't order the kind with sesame seed usually it does come with sesame seed

I think but it looks like on this one. You can see there's some little crispy bits

I think those are some some onions so some tiny pieces of onion, and this is nice and firm feeling actually kind of hard

So let's break a piece off oh

man

That's quite hard

All right, I got a piece of the crust so let's try that

Hmm

That's very dry

Really really dry I know that this non from Shin Jang is supposed to be firm

So it is nice and firm kind of hard

It's like a even harder version of a bangle, but this is really dry kind of hard to eat

There's a slight onion taste to it, but it's pretty plain. It is it's good to kind of snack on

I'm sure you could get better versions of this stuff

Let's keep going we'll find something else

Tomorrow

All right, we've got another bow today and this time

It's a steamed bow, so not nearly as oily as the one we had earlier this morning

And this time is the Aeon roll about which is lamb bow and this looks really good

It's got a super soft wrapper. Actually the meat is following you at the bottom so actually I'm just gonna go right for this

Okay that was a killer bow that lamb flavor is so pronounced

It's not like gamey, but it's almost got a little bit of a bust to it, but in a good way

It's really really meaty flavor, and that was even juicier than the super oily beef bow we had this morning

That's awesome that rapper super super soft on the outside too, but we only ordered two of those

But we might have to go back and get more

Random meal

By v1 300%

Okay, I know we already had the nun

But we have another one here because I just wasn't

Satisfied with that first one, and we spotted a stall that had a really long line, and he was making these non

Extremely fresh so the woman there is kind of spreading the dough out and then pounding it with a special

Device that makes this really interesting

circular sheeps you can see on the outside of the nun then he takes it and he

Kind of Pat's it into a mixture of milk and sesame seeds, so this one's got the sesame seeds

And then he puts it over top of this special sort of pillow

And then kind of smashes that onto the inside of the tandoor oven lets us cook up

And it was just he was pumping those out in the line was hungry

Everyone wanted some there's a little bit feisty trying to get them, but we've got it

We've got three actually some to take home for later, and this just feels nice and fresh

I'm just gonna crack it up super hot still and let's try that

That puts the other non to shame that is so good

There's so much more flavor going on there than the other one so you can definitely taste the sesame seed

flavor coming in there

But it's really

Just all about house smokey this bread is from that hot tandoor oven and then I can also taste a little bit of saltiness

Too it's almost like buttery and then the texture of this is just world's better than the other one. It's super

Firm still like a bagel, but it's got a like a little bit of a bite to it

But then once you bite into it's super warm and kind of comforting on the inside

That is the perfect little snacking breath

This really reminds me of like a very fresh pretzel, it's really good

These are super addicting, and I'm glad we got three of them, and we waited in that really long line

So I definitely wanted to take some more home, so we're going to keep going. I think we can eat a couple more things today

We just ordered up some young Roach our or

Lamb skewers and check this out

It's actually just on a stick here, and there are some big chunks of meat and fat

And you can already see the cumin and the chili powder on there

but let me tell you a little bit about the

Experience of buying these so there's no such thing as a lineup when you're buying these everyone waits

And they're cooking I don't know hundreds of these at one time and then as soon as they're finished

They're all finished at the same time. It's basically a free-for-all

Everyone start sticking their hands in and trying to ask for however many they want

Luckily, I think we got maybe the last two and we ordered up two on

The big kind on the stick here, so I'm gonna go ahead and try this this looks really good

And it smells so smoky. There's so much smoke coming out of that little shop. Let's try

Whoa super juicy, it's actually quite spicy

There's quite a bit of chili powder on there, and I can definitely taste that cumin kind of like earthy flavor

It's really really flavorful a little bit salty tube

And that was a nice big chunk of lamb this isn't quite as kind of lamb meat flavored

It's more of a smoky kind of Berk flavor, and there's little bits of kind of bird edges

Too that are nice and crispy, so let's try another bite here

Little piece of fat if I map that is succulent meat

Okay, this lamb skewer is incredible this might be the best thing. We've had all day

It's super flavorful really spicy, and I love that cumin flavor in there

There's massive chunks of fat, so every once in a while

You'll bite into it, but it's completely kind of liquifies in your mouth as soon as you bite into it

Then that stall was so popular and so crazy. I think the woman heard

My poor Chinese skills and kind of felt bad for me

So you just need to get noticed if you want to order one here

But man the Muslim market here in Shanghai has been good to us so far

I think we're gonna get one more thing, but we are starting to get really really full but these skewers oh, man

So there's lots of ready-to-eat items here at the Muslim market
