Traditional Mongolian Food & Drink


Ever wonder if HuHot is really serving 100% authentic Mongolian food??? Well, lets just say that we put our own twist on Mongolian food...

Cooked Mutton
This is the Mongolian’s favorite delicacy. It is only prepared for the special occasions, such as offering sacrifices to gods or ancestors, weddings or celebrating the elder's birthday.

Finger Mutton
This dish is the traditional food which the Mongolian people have liked best for thousands of years. People often use their fingers to take the meat while eating. That's why the dish is called finger mutton.

Shaomai
Shaomai is a local delicacy, which has a long history in Hohhot (the city HuHot was named after!). Shaomai is basically like a dumpling, but with a Mongolian twist.

Sour Milk
Yep, the Mongolian people like drinking sour milk, instead of drinking fresh milk.

Ayrag - Fermented Mare's (a female horse) Milk
The Mongolian beverage everyone (or at least everyone at HuHot!) is talking about. The most important animal to Mongols is the horse therefore making mare's milk extremely special to the Mongols.

Vodka
You read that right, everything gets washed down with a little vodka. Mongolia's proximity to Russia is where this influence came from.
