Uyghur Ice Cream in Kashgar, Xinjiang, China

In Kashgar (Kashir) - a city in far western China - across the street from the iconic Id Kha Mosque, vendors churn home-style soft serve Uyghur ice-cream. The milky, creamy treat is usually served in a cup with a small wooden spoon, but some vendors also have cones.

The ice cream is served in a dazzling night market that illuminates the surrounding neighborhood. Although I’m technically in China, the soul of this town is anything but Chinese. I feel as though I’ve stepped into a faraway town somewhere in central Asia.

The smell of Central Asian cuisine fills the air, and it’s making me hungry. One scent in particular is so sweet and alluring that I can’t resist. It's the smell of freshly made Uyghur ice cream.

The Chinese name for this creamy homestyle ice cream is 维吾尔冰淇淋 (wéiwúĕr bīngqílín), but the Uyghur people who make it call it simply ‘Maruxna.’
