Apandim Ulghur

Level 1, 8 Dixon St, Sydney 2000 NSW

Of the three Ulghur places I know in Sydney - which are all conveniently located side by side - this is the newest, largest and seems to be one of the most lively. The food is very reasonable price and what you expect - quite heavy, lots of spices and flavour and some dishes are oily. 

Below are shots from our most recent visit 30 May 2009. We had some of the staple dishes.

Above, black fungus and vegie.

Chicken kebabs - good but oilier than the other store.

Stir fried prawns - and in the background is the lamb kebabs. Both good. But the lamb was very oily. To be fair that is fairly standard. The prawns we great though.

The star dish - chicken and potato with hand made noodles. It is a huge dish and great value - but compared to the other store they do not include noodles and I think the mix of spices isn't as rich.
Bean starch noodles in a spicy soy sauce mix.

This store has a belly dancer come in each evening, who likes to get people up to dance. This was a different dancer to my last visit.

I dobbed in a friend to dance with her - but they refuse to be shown online... you can hardly even tell that ghost used to be a person huh? :)

Overall, if you haven't been to one of these Ulghur places yet, get a group together, BYO some booze and have a great night. You will be stuffed and satisfied for under $20pp, and they generally let you BYO any drinks you like.
