That evening Jon, Jean (a friend and Kelley classmate studying abroad in Beijing), and I weren’t very hungry because we ate so much at lunch, so for dinner we had a light meal consisting of local fruit and flavored chips. More specifically, we ate dragon fruit and pomelo. The potato chips here have unique flavors like cucumber, hot and spicy seafood and tea. The people here love their tea, so it should not surprise anyone that they have tea flavored potato chips. They do taste exactly like Lipton iced tea.
Jon found a restaurant in his guide book for Uyghur food. It's a minority group from western China. The food at this restaurant was so good, that Jon and I went back the next day for my last meal in the city. We tried many different lamb dishes including lamb tendon and lamb kidney on a skewer. We washed it down with milk tea.
What I enjoy most about Chinese food is eating family style. You share everything, so you also have an opportunity to try everything and eat more of what tastes good. You also have no idea how much you’ve eaten, so you just eat until you are full rather than consuming one large plate of food.
