The special diet there is mainly ethnic dishes (Dai flavor, Ni cuisine, etc.). ), Dai barbecue and various snacks. Dai flavor: In Banna, we mainly try Dai flavor. There are many Dai restaurants in Manjinglan. The Dai flavor is mainly roasted, fried and fresh, and the flavor is mainly sour and spicy (millet spicy with citric acid), with various spices and dipping sauce. Different restaurants won't make much difference.
The distinctive dishes are fried meat with banana flower, sour bamboo shoots, pineapple rice, rotten vegetables, pig blood and fried pig skin. Ni Cuisine: I heard that there are two good ones. One is at the foot of the Buddha Temple (I can't remember the name), and the other is near the Lover Bridge, called Ni Cun (take a taxi and say it's a little ahead of the Lover Bridge, and there is a big sign on the roadside). Several majors are quite good. In addition, there is a place opposite Nicun to eat Dai flavor, and the price is higher than that in the urban area.
Thai food: Cai Chunqing, a famous online food (not a young person). Taxi drivers know that it is between Menglong Road and Man Ting Road. The Meimei Coffee across the street (very famous, because several proprietresses ran away with foreigners who went there to drink coffee, haha), the waiter is said to be MM in Thailand, and there is something wrong with the exchange meeting. The menu is all Chinese, Dai and English, but it may be too famous. Ok. I haven't eaten it before, but I can't compare it. However, their family's Dongyingong soup (the menu seems to be Gongdong soup, depending on English recognition) is enough for three people (only 35 yuan is still very cheap). Pineapple fried rice, sweet and sour pork ribs are lovely dishes, and their family also provides Dai flavor (it turns out that the Dai people in Thailand and China are of the same clan).
Besides, many people who work and live nearby know western food. Although I don't understand why it is necessary to eat western food when going to Xishuangbanna, Meimei Coffee and the adjacent Meigong Coffee are indeed the places where foreigners and emotional youths are most concentrated. It is recorded in the story LP that the three bosses of Meimei were abducted by foreigners, so it is likely to be a high-incidence place for local events. Both of them have some petty bourgeoisie, provide all kinds of catering and tourism information, and like their homemade cakes. The artist seems to be more authentic. Meimei tastes better (simply refers to cheesecake, others have not been compared), and yogurt is also good. Fried rice, fried noodles, fried powder and the like sell well.
as for the taste of western food, different people have different opinions. Many foreigners like to go anyway. Dai Barbecue: Although many people recommend Man Jinglan, Golden Beach and Man Tingxiaozhai, I still think the one with one yuan on the roadside is cheap and delicious. The two barbecues in front of Cui Manli and across the street are the best I have ever eaten in Jinghong. = =, but I must ask my boss for dipping sauce, which is the essence. There are mainly Chili powder, sufu sauce and lemon pepper (I like lemon pepper, which goes well with grilled fish), but there are not many varieties in the stall, and they are made of small bamboo sticks, which are not as imposing as two bamboo poles in the stall. (Key point: The barbecue in Cui Manli Alley is really delicious, especially the dipping sauce, which is delicious. If you want to experience the original flavor (only the appearance), of course, Man Jinglan and Man Tingxiaozhai are better. The kind that locals like very much is called too slow, and most taxi drivers know it. In addition, Menghai roast chicken (the most famous three-kilometer roast chicken and red-haired roast chicken, three kilometers outside Menghai County) is also very good.
recommendation: grilled fish with citronella, roasted chicken with citronella, wrapped in tofu (which is not available in every family), roasted pig skin, roasted third-line meat, beef jerky, and roasted pig face if you are not afraid of fat meat. Snacks: Rice balls: Never equate with Japanese rice balls. In fact, it is a simple set meal of glutinous rice with shredded lean meat and various pickles. This is one of the immature choices of local people. In the morning, many mothers-in-law wearing Dai clothes sell this. A pack of glutinous rice costs 51 cents, and it only costs two dollars to add meat and sauce and glutinous rice. Great value (I like it very much =3=). The dry season can be covered with moss, but April will be too late.
PS。 The so-called Mi Nan probably means sauce. There are tomatoes, Mi Nan and eggplant, Mi Nan, etc. The method is to bake tomatoes or eggplant on the fire until they are soft, and then add lemon juice and various spices to make a sauce. Don't miss it:) Rice noodle: It's essential when you arrive in Yunnan. The characteristic of the rice noodles here is that the store cooks them directly for you, and things like seasonings are arranged in a long row for self-help! You even have to add salt yourself. Rice noodle shops on the roadside are generally good. Three dollars a bowl. I like the one on the left, which is about 11 meters in the alley opposite Cui Manli. Unfortunately, it was sold out at 11: 11 in the morning, and I can't eat it at night. Freshly squeezed juice: subtropical. Fruits are rich and juicy.
it's very cheap. On the right of the intersection of Menglong Road and Man Ting Road, there is a tea shop called Baiweixiang. The freshly squeezed juice in the shop is fresh fruit, 5% fresh. There is a Mengzi rice noodle crossing the bridge near passion fruit, which is not bad. Cold drinks: The famous Rollo Ice Room on the Internet is not bad, but the rice noodles are actually not as delicious as the street rice noodle shop. On the contrary, there is an ice cream seller in the Rollo Ice Room on Xuanwei Avenue in the direction of Peacock Lake. They recommend their cheesecake-flavored ice cream balls, which are very strong and not too sweet. One is five dollars, two are eight dollars ~ ~ There is love. Cold rice noodles, dry rice: dry rice is crushed rice noodles (I think so). Some are sold by the roadside after noon.
you can try. Xiang bamboo rice Xiang bamboo rice has a strong Dai flavor, and cooking is best from October to February every year. At this time, there is a fragrant film in the bamboo, so it is called fragrant bamboo. Dai people cut off the bottom of the bamboo pole, then put the soaked glutinous rice into the bamboo tube, plug the mouth of the bamboo tube with banana leaves, soak it in water for 15 minutes, put it in ashes or charcoal fire, and take it out after the mouth of the bamboo tube emits steam for more than 11 minutes. Beating with a wooden hammer when eating makes the rice soft and fragrant, tastes fragrant and soft, and has a unique flavor. Special reminder: wash your hands before eating glutinous rice in Banna's restaurant, because glutinous rice should be pinched by hand. The longer you knead it, the better it tastes.
local people say that when eating glutinous rice, you should touch your head and rub it, so it will taste more fragrant. That's true, but no one does. In fact, it will be better to add some oil when kneading. Boiled fish (chicken) with sour bamboo shoots is a famous dish of Dai people. Sour bamboo shoots are peeled and shredded from tender bamboo shoots unearthed in summer, and then salted with salt and pepper for later use. Dai people first fry sour bamboo shoots in oil pan for a while, add appropriate amount of water to make soup, and then add washed and diced fish (chicken) meat to cook before eating. This dish is sour, delicious and appetizing. Hani cuisine Hani cuisine is not inferior to Dai cuisine, including Maqi (meat porridge), Baiwang (cold salad), pickled banana heart (sour taste), banana leaf wrapped barbecue, bean powder meatball soup, bird pine, bird paste, fried pupa, bee pupa sauce, grilled fish skewers, spring crab vegetables and so on.
There is a saying that Bulang people can't taste meat unless they eat barbecue. So many things are baked, such as roasted mountain rat meat, turtledove meat, fish, pork and beef. In addition, there are pebble fresh fish soup, crab floss, raw chopped crab meat, fried spider, cicada sauce, roasted fresh fish, sauerkraut (sour meat, sour fish, sour bamboo shoots) and so on. In addition to the above, the cooking methods of Yao, Jinuo and other ethnic groups are similar, but different ethnic groups have different cooking methods, frying methods and baking methods, and different flavors. Purple rice pineapple purple rice is also a glutinous rice food with Dai characteristics. Soak the purple glutinous rice for 7-8 hours, cut a cover on the top of the pineapple, remove the pineapple heart, put the purple glutinous rice in, cover it with pineapple cover, and cook it in a special pot. After smelling the fragrance, you can open the lid and eat. It tastes a little sweet and has the effect of nourishing blood and moistening the lungs. Grilled citronella fish Grilled citronella fish is also a A Dai-style dish. Generally, the cleaned fish is wrapped in citronella first, then roasted on the fire and smeared with proper amount of lard. When it's baked, the aroma is overflowing, so the waiters in t
restaurant are all Thai, so ordering food will be a bit troublesome. The most famous steamed fish with lemon (spicy). I think this restaurant is still worth visiting.
