Buuz is considered the national dish of Mongolia and is often found in many roadhouses and hole-in-the-walls. Unfortunately, you won't spot them anymore in most restaurants. It's a humble steamed dumpling dish, stuffed with mutton or goat, onion, garlic, and caraway. It's mostly served with soup or broth, although some prefer to eat it as is. Fusion dishes in high-end restaurants have started to use duck or beef.

A dessert to try there is called orom or clotted cream, a rich, highly-calorific cream from animals such as yaks, goats, and cows. Each type of milk brings its own specific flavor to the orom; The yak has a more aggressive flavor while that of the goat tends to be more subtle and sweet. Just like ice cream or yoghurt, you can pair orom with jam and sugar or spread it over baked bread. It can be eaten as a dessert or during breakfast. For those of you that have tried clotted cream (A famous product from south-west England) you will find the flavour very similar, for those of you that haven't its naughty, fatty, awesome cream! Unlike England where it's eaten on scones, here you'll likely have it with homemade bread.
