Xinjiang BBQ

"This bustling barbecue-skewer place is in Diho Plaza. Go for the skewers which have the perfect amount of char and spice. Grilled over charcoal with special authentic northern Chinese BBQ seasoning of cumin, crushed red pepper, garlic and salt they are messy and fun to eat. The lamb is a standout but try a variety of meats, offal and vegetables. Do be generous when ordering, the skewers are delicately portioned, two people can easily go through a couple dozen. Wash them down with cheap domestic and Chinese beer." - ph Design Shop

"Spice-dusted lamb skewers recall outdoor barbecuing in the mountainous region, but the spicy big plate chicken with its fat, slippery noodles cannot be missed." - Alice Levitt
