| The
most famous specialties in Hohhot are the many meat
dishes, with the focus mainly on mutton or lamb.
The most famous dish in town is undoubtedly the Mongolian hotpot, that
can be found in most restaurants here. The best
place to try this specialty is in the city's chain
restaurant, "Dunlaishun", that has spawned
thousands of copies across China. Also worth trying
is the succulent roast leg of lamb that is a tasty,
although often a little too fatty, addition to a
culinary trip to the city. Leg of lamb is often
expensive, up to RMB200, but in the cold winter
months this is warmingly welcome. Probably the most
commonly eaten dish in the city is the hand-held
mutton. |
