"For the past month, while studying nonstop for a professional exam, the only thing that’s kept me going is takeout from Silk Road, an Uyghur restaurant in East Cambridge: the bean jelly (mung bean starch served with chickpeas and cucumbers and covered in a spicy sauce) is refreshingly appropriate for cold December weather, and the laghman—fresh, super-bouncy hand-pulled noodles with crisp, fresh stir-fried vegetables and beef—is takeout at its finest." - Erika Adams
