清真尕穆萨美食城总店

After three days of visiting Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake and Ta'er Temple, we checked into the Mercure Yile Hotel and came to this restaurant founded in 1990. The operation is flexible. We ordered two skewers of roasted lamb, lamb blood sausage and beef tripe, and a small piece of hand-pulled lamb. The above dishes tasted very good. Good quality and low price. We also ordered Xunhua Ga noodles to see what ingredients they are made of. There were many people dining, and the tables were full. Other diners were invited to the second floor.

It's really cheap and affordable. I can still find a store with such a high cost performance. I chose half a catty of hand-pulled lamb, half a catty of braised lamb and some other miscellaneous items for a total of only 136 yuan. It's delicious and not expensive.

The main store of Muslim Gamusa Food City has many famous local snacks. If you have breakfast here, you will feel that there are many, many things.

The barbecue is excellent and it is a great choice to bring friends together for a gathering.
