Eating Camel...

I consider this as one of the delicacies in DunHuang, but kinda cruel.. as we were riding the cute camel at Mt Mingsha Desert in the afternoon and eating the camel hump at night time (although different camel). I dunno how to describe the texture.. It's slightly chewy. Err.. u gotta taste it yourself :P

  2. hmmm... how come chewy one...? I brought back 5kg of frozen "unta meat" for my family back in Ipoh during my last holiday... my mom cooked "rendang unta"...!! huaaa...! so nice one...! it was really good, and the meat was very tender... taste wise, like beef lorrr... couldn't really tell the difference... I guess it must be the way you cook the meat, have to practice some "petua" to make the meat tender... Btw, may be your Unta was "expired" unta... the old "unta" no good for work alrdy... that's why very 'liat" one... hehe...
