What I ate in Almaty Kazakhstan

This is what I ate in Kazakhstan!

In this video, I’ll show you how much I spent at each restaurant and what you can expect when dining here. I also visited one of the best local Kazakh restaurants that serves truly authentic Kazakh food.

It’s a little pricier, but totally worth it — amazing service, traditional wooden plates, unique cutlery, silverware, and staff dressed in beautiful traditional outfits. They also serve the national dish beshbarmak, so you should definitely give it a try!

If you want a break from Kazakh food, Korean House is another great option — Korean food is surprisingly good in Kazakhstan. And for something more casual, Wok Wok is a nice spot for Asian fusion dishes.

Ini lah apa yang aku makan sepanjang trip aku di Kazakhstan!

Dalam video ni, aku tunjuk berapa aku belanja dekat setiap restoran dan apa korang boleh expect bila makan kat sini. Aku juga pergi satu restoran Kazakh yang paling famous untuk makanan tradisional asli.

Harga dia memang agak mahal sikit, tapi memang berbaloi — service bagus, pinggan kayu tradisional, cutlery yang unik, silverware, dan staff pun pakai baju tradisi. Diorang juga ada hidangkan hidangan kebangsaan beshbarmak, so korang wajib try!

Kalau korang nak tukar selera dari makanan Kazakh, Korean House pun best — makanan Korea dekat Kazakhstan memang sedap. Untuk pilihan yang lebih santai, Wok Wok pun okay untuk makanan Asian fusion.

Video ni akan bagi korang idea harga makanan dekat Kazakhstan supaya senang nak bajet untuk trip korang nanti.

这是我在哈萨克斯坦这趟旅程里吃到的所有美食!

在视频里我会跟你们分享,每一餐我大概花了多少钱,还有在这边吃饭大概是怎样的体验。我也特地去了当地最火、最正宗的一家哈萨克传统餐厅。

虽然价钱有点偏高,但真的值得 —— 服务好、用的都是传统木盘、特别的餐具、银器,连店员都穿着传统服饰。他们还有招牌国菜 beshbarmak,来这里一定要试!

如果想换个口味,不吃哈萨克料理的话,Korean House 真的很好吃,在哈萨克斯坦吃韩餐意外地很稳。想吃轻松一点的,Wok Wok 的亚洲融合菜也挺不错。

这个视频会让你们更清楚

... Read moreDuring my trip to Almaty, I found that trying traditional Kazakh food is a must for any food lover visiting Kazakhstan. The national dish, beshbarmak, stood out with its tender meat and hand-cut noodles served on rustic wooden plates, making the meal feel special and authentic. The experience was enhanced by the attentive service and staff wearing colorful traditional attire, which added a cultural touch to the meal. For those who want to diversify their palate, I recommend checking out Korean House. It surprised me how well Korean food is prepared here, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors that rival those in Korea itself. Wok Wok is another excellent choice, offering Asian fusion dishes that are perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. When planning your food budget for a trip to Kazakhstan, it's helpful to know that while some traditional restaurants might be pricier, the quality and atmosphere make it worth every tenge. Additionally, local markets and street food vendors offer tasty and budget-friendly options, so there’s something for every kind of traveler. Beyond food, Almaty has amazing attractions like the Kok Tobe cable car, which offers stunning city views and is reasonable in price. Exploring the area around Abylai Khan Avenue where these restaurants are located can also be a delightful cultural experience. Remember to also check the weather for your 10-day visit to pack comfortably. Overall, combining authentic dining experiences with cultural exploration makes Almaty a fantastic destination for food enthusiasts and travelers wanting a deep dive into Kazakh culture.
