This time, we came to 'Li Yuan Halal Snacks'!

Indian Flatbread (Butter)
This is really a must-order!
Freshly ordered and baked flatbread with a slight charred aroma, spread with butter, the salty-sweet flavor is very charming, with a substantial and chewy texture, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
Layered Flatbread (Peas)
Friends who like layers should order this!
The flatbread skin is layered to create a crispy texture, paired with soft and tender peas with a unique salty aroma, this exotic combination is really addictive.
Curry Chicken Babas
If you want to eat your fill, this bowl is spot on.
Babas absorb the rich curry soup, the chicken is stewed to be very flavorful and tender, with a slight spicy aroma, very appetizing.
Indian Milk Tea (Hot/Iced)
Coming here, milk tea is also a must-drink!
Hot milk tea has a strong tea aroma and smooth milk flavor, perfect with flatbread; iced milk tea is a great choice for cooling off on a summer afternoon.
Although the restaurants on Huaxin Street are mostly simply decorated, that pure and authentic taste is what attracts foodies to return repeatedly.
Li Yuan Halal Snacks uses a flatbread for just a few dozen dollars to let people feel the leisurely dining experience of traveling abroad.
