What, exactly, is this?

If you go to San Gabriel, CA the Tung Lai Shun restaurant is really good. I eat there every month or thereabouts. Very good food, nice service. Their tou fu is great and their beef dishes superb. My late father in law came over from China once on a business trip, He had some associates with him, one was this big Uighur fellow who ate as much as five guys. The Uighur guy also was belting down one beer after another (this place serves beer, and many Chinese Muslims are not too strict). The Uighur guy was not in any way tipsy and was a jolly good fellow. It sure beat being outside in the heat that July.

Ahhh...this jogged my memory. Now the connection with Chinese restaurants makes more sense. I remember reading a National Geographic article about the Western regions of China, which were on the Middle East trade routes and had heavy Muslim influence in religion and culture.
