When I arrived in Kunming, my friend wanted to take me to eat Dai food, but I drove a long way to Chenggong District, which is close to Kunming South Railway Station. Parked the car and walked into a large courtyard called "Dai Village-Shiwei Xishuang".

The entire courtyard is in Dai style, with a large peacock model, which is very beautiful and very suitable for taking pictures. It seems that the owner's decoration is very serious and thoughtful.

Wandering around the yard, I found a chef roasting chicken and pig small intestines. The chef said he had been roasting chickens for more than ten years. This kind of chicken comes from Menghai. Although it is small, it grows a lot. It is a high-quality variety with more than 10 years of chicken meat. The meat is fresh and tender, but the chicken bones are hard.

As for the Dai cuisine, I can’t remember what the characteristics are. Although I have been to Xishuangbanna a few times, my memory seems to be only about Dai barbecue, and the most popular one is Dai hand-picked rice, so I didn’t wait until before the dishes were served. I don’t know what I ate today, but my friend said mysteriously, “It must be something you haven’t eaten before.”

When the first plate was served, I didn’t pay much attention to it at first. Instead, I was attracted by the bamboo plate. I thought of the “Crazy Ximen” who made bamboo pots in Jianshui and wanted to take a photo of it for him. As material.

It was only after a friend introduced me that this plate called "Nami Vegetable Platter" actually has five kinds of vegetables including two flowers and one leaf. Specifically, they are cucumber strips, okra, acanthopanax, and pomegranate flowers. The other one I don’t know is actually a flower, a walnut flower. How about it? Shocking!

Another dish served on a bamboo plate came up. I know it as "hand-shredded bamboo shoots". Nowadays, logistics is convenient. This dish is also available in the north, but the one here is fresher and tastes better, while the north eats it. Yes, it's canned and seems to contain preservatives. This is something I love to eat.

This thing made of glutinous rice seems to be called "Kao Luosuo". It is very soft, very glutinous and very distinctive.

This dish served with bamboo shoot cutlery was something I didn’t expect, and it was also the first time I had eaten “pork skin with oily smell”.

I have eaten stinky tofu, stinky eggs, and stinky mandarin fish before, but this is my first time to taste "stinky pork skin". My friend said that this kind of smelly pork skin actually comes from Laos and is bought in bundles. It is very troublesome to handle, but it is delicious. Sure enough, it is chewy, very fragrant, and has no smell at all.

This is the "oil choked heart tube", which uses pig heart tube and tastes crunchy. Dai cuisine is a bit spicy, so this is also a dish to taste.

This dish is Thai-style cold shrimp. Dai people have a lot of similarities in life with Thai people, so Dai people also have many styles that Thai people like, but I am not very interested in shrimp, so there is not much. Said.

The "Sour Bamboo Shoots and Fish" served next. This is my favorite. I mainly eat sour bamboo shoots, but I don’t like fish much. This dish is very unique and it is the first time I have eaten it. .

This is another special dish called "Canned Soup with Banana Flowers". There are many edible flowers in Yunnan, and the banana flowers are the largest and can be used in various dishes.

A very simple bowl of "mixed vegetable soup", but it is made with five kinds of vegetables. It is very thoughtful. I like this.

This is "grilled pork belly". This dish is available in barbecue stalls in many places in Yunnan. It mainly uses native pigs raised by farmers. The meat is very tender and very fragrant when grilled. If it can be paired with northern barbecue, Vegetable leaves or garlic slices are even better.

This is "baked rice sausage". It is the first time I have eaten it. This is the small intestine of a pig. It is said that a pig cannot give birth to much. My friend said that when I was a child, pigs were killed at home, and the rice sausage was eaten by the elderly and children. less than. This fragrance and taste are also good.

The last dish was the roasted chicken, which was really good, with crispy skin and fragrant meat. Even though it was the last dish, only the chicken head was eaten, which was completely naked.

Although I didn’t get to eat the finger rice, the pineapple rice was already prepared. It was fragrant, sweet and delicious.

My friend said that there are actually several types of Dai cuisine. This is the Xishuangbanna style, which is rare in Kunming. The main reason is that chefs from Xishuangbanna don’t like to come to Kunming. First, it is inconvenient to go to the temple. (Many people believe in Buddhism). In addition, I find Kunming’s winter to be “cold”. Another point is that I am far away from my favorite village (it is said that I can go to the village to drink tea and chat with girls).

And the cost of this table of dishes is not much, only more than 400 yuan.

Many people will ask about the address when they see this place. It is at No. 54 Huancheng South Road, Longcheng Street Office, Chenggong District, Kunming. I can’t say much else. It is very close to the South High-speed Railway Station. People who come to Kunming can taste it if they have time.
