Samsas are Central Asian savory meat-filled pastries traditionally baked in a clay oven. They have been the perfect on-the-go lunch or snack in my short time so far here in Almaty!

In the Uyghur neighborhoods in Almaty, you can find this traditional called Lagman (лагман). It consists of handmade noodles and a sauce with meat and vegetables with just a small kick from the chilis. It's a must try here in Kazakhstan! #food #culture #traditional #centralasia #eat
