Turning Point Cafe

This is the third Modern Nomads I&#39;ve been to in Ulaanbaatar. The decoration inside the restaurant is pretty good.
The menu is quite complete. Lamb, beef, horse meat, chicken, and pork are all available. The price is also quite affordable.
I ordered a salad, soup, and a main course, and it only cost more than 100 yuan.
For service, you still need to take the initiative to greet the waiter before he will come. In addition, there is a language barrier, and English is not very useful here. It doesn&#39;t have any other impact
