Amber: Cuisine from China’s Islamic northwest


One cannot get any more authentic than ordering a steaming hot bowl of Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles. This traditional staple is northwest China’s equivalent to our nasi lemak.

A waiter sets down a saucer filled with super fiery Sichuan peppercorns on my table. “Are we supposed to eat that?!” I sputtered, taking my host Hu Xiao Jung aka Haji Tahir, one-fifth of the brains behind Amber Chinese Muslim restaurant, by surprise.

“No.” He chuckles.
