1. Rumi’s Secret
I’ve been to Rumi’s Secret Turkish Restaurant at least five or six times since it opened in early June, and I’ve basically eaten all of their Turkish specialties. This is an international chain brand with dozens of chain stores in Europe and the Middle East. The restaurant is named after Rumi, a world-famous Persian poet. The Turks in the Middle Ages called the Eastern Roman Empire Rum. Rumi means coming from the Eastern Roman Empire.
I detail Rumi’s secrets in the Joyful Taste Buds section of the upcoming August issue of Travel magazine. This restaurant does not sell alcohol
, chefs come from Türkiye, Azerbaijan and other places, and can provide worship rooms
The decoration of the restaurant has the atmosphere of an Ottoman palace. It is spacious and comfortable. In summer, you can sit in the garden in front and behind the restaurant and enjoy the delicious food while admiring the beautiful women. This sentence was originally used in an official magazine. It was considered not serious enough and requested to be deleted.
This room can be used for worship, and you can also experience the Central Asian people's family dining customs of sitting cross-legged on the carpet. The bathroom can be used for wudu.
The restaurant is open and you can watch chefs from all over the world cooking delicious food through the glass.
There are various books related to Rumi placed in the grid of the restaurant corridor, all of which are Chinese translations. Rumi's works have been translated into many languages and have far-reaching influence around the world.

king breakfast
Rumi's Secret has a special breakfast, called the King's Breakfast. It is very rich in variety and delicious. It is suitable for people like me who want to eat a little bit of everything but can't eat much. Breakfast is priced per person, 198 yuan for two people and 268 yuan for 4-5 people.

There are now more than one halal Huainan Beef Soup in Beijing. to Hu Ji Huainan Beef Soup, another one was found in Shunyi. This store is also opened by Hui Muslims from Huainan, Anhui. It specializes in beef soup and hot dry noodles.
What surprised me was that there is Caiji Hot Dry Noodles here. The taste is very similar to the ones eaten in Hubei, a bit spicy. You can also get a bowl of beef bone soup when you eat the Hot Dry Noodles. It is a real experience to eat halal hot dry noodles in Beijing.
The amount of hot dry noodles eaten in Wuhan is not so large. You can add various seasonings according to your own taste.
