That's wonderful to know. I'm not familiar with Uzbek cuisine but I'm sure it's very delicious. What else did you do?

We were not familiar until then as well. This was our first visit there. After that, we stopped by a supermarket and we headed back our home.

How was it? I've never had it before. How different was it from Japanese food? Was the meal affordable?

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear enough. We found it in a YouTube program. palov is the most famous for Uzbek cuisine. it seems that it's seasoned rice with meat and carrots. We tried to eat it as well. It's hard to explain by words, but meat and rice were soft and delicious. However, we don't have such a taste in Japan. It was at a reasonable price, not expensive.
