Welcome back to another Inner Mongolia food adventure with my parents! This week we're exploring the Xilingol grasslands and eating some of China's BEST meat!
Blondie In China brings her parents to Inner Mongolia for an unforgettable adventure on the Xilingol grasslands. They stay with a local family, sleeping on famously hard mattresses in a rustic yurt. The video captures their first authentic local breakfast, a surprising mix of boiled mutton, milk tofu, toasted millet, and butter added directly to salty milk tea. While the family's adventurous palates struggle with the strong mutton flavor, the cheese is a hit.<br><br>After breakfast, Jack, their guide, surprises them with lattes made from the cows outside. They head to the famous Dada Xian highway, with its iconic rainbow-colored center line, and find a secluded patch of the vast grassland for photos away from other tourists. The family marvels at the endless green landscape, the earthy smell of cow poo, and the drone antics that almost knock dad's hat off. <br><br>They visit an ancient volcano called Gezi Shan, where the view from the crater is breathtaking. The video then focuses on lunch: an instant boiled mutton hotpot. To heat the copper pot, the family uses dried cow poo as fuel, a necessity in a treeless landscape. The meal is a journey back to the time of Kublai Khan, with thin slices of mutton cooking in seconds. The quality of the meat is astonishing even to this China travel expert, and the dipping sauce of thick sesame and chive flower is perfect. <br><br>The feast continues with lamb barbecue, which is almost caramelized. Throughout the day, the family is treated to impromptu throat singing by Jack. The video ends with Blondie's parents still enjoying the hotpot, promising a whole roasted Mongolian lamb in the next episode. This is a true, raw, and hilarious look at authentic Inner Mongolian food and hospitality.

Inner Mongolia Food Adventure with Parents: Meat Tea & Mutton
1:00 Expect very hard mattresses in rural China. Locals believe they are good for spinal alignment, but bring a topper if you need softness.
4:52 If you are lactose intolerant, prepare with pills before visiting Inner Mongolia. The region is very dairy-heavy with milk tea, cheese, and butter.
6:53 The Xilingol grassland is vast and treeless. The best photos require driving far from the main highway signs to find a patch with no other tourists.
11:25 The instant boiled mutton hotpot originated with Kublai Khan. The secret is ultra-thin slices of meat that cook in seconds in plain water.
12:21 Cow poo is used as fuel for fires in treeless grasslands. It has no smell when dry and is placed carefully like charcoal to build a fire.
14:32 Inner Mongolia barbecue rivals other famous Chinese BBQ regions. The key is incredibly fresh, high-quality, grass-fed lamb that is simply salted.

That dish wasn't in this video, but the milk tofu was squeaky and a bit like halloumi – a big hit with us!
What was the most surprising thing you found?
Probably using dried cow poo to light the fire for our hotpot! It has no smell and burns just like wood.
What did the milk tea with meat taste like?
It was very salty and interesting, with a strong mutton flavor. It would take a bit of getting used to, but it was a wonderful experience.
Is the mutton really the best in China?
It was incredibly tender and tasty. The meat was so fresh it practically melted in your mouth, and the sesame dipping sauce was perfect.
