Tourist Guide

Samsas are Central Asian savory meat-filled pastries traditionally baked in a clay oven. They have been the perfect on-the-go lunch or snack in my short time so far here in Almaty! Looking forward to more! 🍽️ . . . #kazakhstan #travel #traveltokazakhstan #culture #cultural #explore #explorekazakhstan #vacation #summer #summertrip #tourist #tourism #trynewthings #exploretheworld #seetheworld #almaty #explorealmaty #travelphotography #doyoutravel #goexplore #travelmore #lovetotravel #wonderfulplaces #roamtheplanet #travellifestyle #foodforward #tripofalifetime #gotravel #lovetotravel #wonderfulplaces
In the Uyghur neighborhoods in Almaty, you can find this traditional called Lagman (лагман). It consists of handmade noodles and a sauce with meat and vegetables with just a small kick from the chilis. It's a must try here in Kazakhstan! #food #culture #traditional #centralasia #eat
