Ro'aal's palm slaps the wooden surface of the stall as he leans backwards against it, staring out into the night. Asleep.Īsleep but for a single stall, manned by but one man, and housing but one patron under its wide awning. Compound that with a torrential downpour and a swiftly-approaching twilight, and Reunion is left.not empty, but sparse. Meaning that the crowd that wanders between the stalls of the trade hub has thinned out a great deal. A great portion of the various non-Qestiri Xaela have gone back to their tribes for the sennight, both to celebrate the next coming of the Dusk Mother and to mourn their Naadam dead, while many of the other Othardian merchants have largely returned to their homes for the Lunar New Year. Reunion is always oddly sleepy in the wake of Tsagaan Sar. It would have kept me warm on the steppes of Mongolia at least.Īlso just wanted to give props to this gorgeous painting of the country they had on the wall of the grassy steppes and yurt. I did end up finishing it but verdict is still out on whether I liked the drink or not. I was a bit confused at the warm salty taste at first. I also had the Tsai, a beverage concocted of what tastes like milk, green tea and the ocean. They tasted a lot like wontons, but the sweet carrot Mongolian salad they came with was actually my favorite part of the meal. I tried the Buuz, Mongolian dumplings a lot like steamed wontons, which is the National Dish of the country. I'm finding there are a couple of restaurants like this where the more common food that Americans are used to is in the usual menu- but then you unlock a secret level when you ask for the more unusual stuff. You had to ask for the Mongolian menu separately. That's the reason I'm going with this Valentine's Day. I really can't find much reason why- maybe a husband and wife intermarried. However, this restaurant, Buuz Thai Eatery, had menus from both country's cuisines. Not Mongolian BBQ, which is actually from Taiwan despite the name.
