The rest...I remember that inexpensive, yummy meal!<br /><br />The restaurant is actually located in a newly built Muslim neighborhood surrounded by upscale high rise.<br /><br />According to the restaurant's owner, the neighborhood used to be a hub for Hui migrant workers from all over China. Although it was like a slum with old buildings cramped together, it's a popular hangout for both locals and Hui. People were all attracted by the cheap restaurants and the hustle and bustle.<br /><br />Just like other big cities in China, the hub was under redevelopment a couple years ago. All the residents moved out with little subsidies. Now, only 40% of the residence here is Hui people.Jo Yunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03088678922023553730noreply@blogger.com
