Saiyide is a local Mongolian brand from Xilinhot in Xilingol. This branch is on the ground floor of Shitai International Hotel at 1 Chongqing Road, near the Chahar Street intersection. Hand-held mutton is the signature; diners say it is not gamey and has a light milky aroma. Guo cha, a salty milk tea, is cooked with cheese, milk skin, puffed rice and dried beef jerky. Other dishes include dubao meat (meat wrapped in tripe), sheep blood sausage and grilled lamb ribs. Mongolian breakfast tea is served in the morning, with many dairy varieties. About 80–120 yuan per person. It gets crowded at peak mealtimes, so go off-peak or book ahead. The city also has a branch in the new district, so be careful not to go to the wrong one.
