November 12th 2022: Uyghur, Americanized Chinese and Brazilian Cuisine in a Day

 After spending some time in Boston today,

Boston Harborwalk

EMK Institute for the US Senate


One Congress Tower

we decided to have lunch at Silk Road Uyghur Cuisine, a small place in Cambridge serving authentic Uyghur food.

We decided to get the Homemade Yogurt (with Walnut, Raisin and Honey),

the Naan (Uyghur Style Seasoned Bread),
the Bean Jelly (Bean Starch with Special Dressing Sauce),
the Lamb Noodle Soup (Lamb broth with noodle and sliced Lamb) 

and the Dry Fried Noodles (Dry Fried Hand pulled Noodles with Veggies and Beef).
Really interesting food, with Chinese noodles mixed with Persian flavors.

For dinner, we went to the Natick Mall,

but as all the main restaurants had long wait times, we decided to eat at the food court instead, getting General's Chicken, Crab Rangoons, Fresh Mixed Vegetables Fried Rice from Master Wok
and Picanha and Sweet Plantains from Terra Nossa Brazilian Grill
The chicken was salty and soggy, although the crab rangoon was alright but nothing special. The meat from the Brazilian place was not bad too, but otherwise nothing special. 

To end the day, we decided to get some chocolate from Laderach.
getting the Piemonteser (hazelnut, hazelnut gianduja), Truffes Cognac (cognac truffle filling), Truffes Kokos (Truffle filling, Batida de Coco), among other truffles.
Pretty good, and I like how they price by weight rather than by pieces. With that, an end to a day of touring museums and trying different cuisines.
