  • What's up and welcome guys, I'm Luke Martin with chopstick Travel calm and today

  • 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

  • But there's also a lot of dried products and kind of meat and vegetables everything's here

  • It's just like any other Fresh Market, but one thing that we've noticed is super popular here is prunes. So they have all these dried

  • Prunes out and we have ordered up a special dish from this market

  • the prune juice so this is really popular here and

  • Let's try it

  • It's really good, it's actually really really sweet. There's a lot of sugar in there and the prunes

  • They don't really have too much of a like a flavor. It's a little bit fruity, but it's just really really a sweet

  • That's good. Okay guys. That's it for today's video tour of the Muslim market here in Shanghai. I'll leave all the

  • Information in the description box so you can come here and try out all the delicious foods and honestly we are stuck

  • There's a lot of other food here, though

  • There is big chunks of lamb that I wanted to try lots of other different dumplings and lots of desserts

  • Just so much going on here it opens up at about 10 a.m.. Or 11 a.m.. And right now
