Dai cuisine consists of glutinous rice, sour flavor and baked meat. , mainly aquatic food, mostly using wild cultivated plants as spices, and the taste is characterized by sour, bitter, and spicy. Barbecuing is one of the most common ways of making Dai flavor. Fried moss, pineapple rice, stinky vegetables, etc. are all local specialties. When you go to Xishuangbanna, you must try the dishes there, otherwise it will be a pity.

So where can you eat authentic Dai food? In fact, you can also eat Dai food in urban areas, but many of them are commercialized. If you are traveling by car and have convenient transportation, you can go to:

a. Manhuisuo, this is where locals go This place is authentic and affordable, but it’s a bit far away. The most authentic place to eat Dai food in Jinghong City. It was recommended by a local classmate. He said that the Dai food in the city is only for tourists, and this is where locals go to eat. I followed It was hard to find the navigation. It is really good. It is a local farmhouse that has gathered together. The dishes are all pure Dai flavor. When it is time to eat, there are many cars. Not to mention the taste, the price is very cheap. A grilled pork rib only costs 25. , it’s also very delicious, and each dish here is different and has its own taste. This is the authentic Dai flavor.

b. If there are few people and transportation is inconvenient, if you are in the city, it is recommended to go to Manjingyuan in the alley opposite Mannong Fengdai Hospital.

2. Menghai Roast Chicken

This kind of roast chicken is slightly different from the chicken we eat. It is a Dai chicken unique to Menghai County in Xishuangbanna. It is smaller in size. Each chicken weighs less than a pound, and the meat is tender and delicious. It is specially processed by experienced chefs and paired with unique powdery seasonings, which makes the taste even more extraordinary. The grilled chicken is tender and pulls apart easily. Soon, each piece of golden roasted chicken became the food in our stomachs. We were so greedy that we were still picking at the shredded meat on the chicken bones. The "understanding" landlady had already reminded us, "Do you want to come again?" A few, otherwise they will be gone in a while.” In this way, 6 more came. After a while, there was a pile of bones left on the plate of chicken (except for two, which were reserved for Master Zhu). Haha, Xiaona’s golden retriever was a bargain this time. One “dog” ate 10 chickens. When Xiao Zhu arrived around seven o'clock, the roast chicken in the store had already been sold out, and there were still diners on the roadside like the ones we asked about the first day.

In addition to the delicious roast chicken at "Menghai Roast Chicken Restaurant", "Lemon Grilled Fish", "Shredded Chicken Rice" and "Grilled Eggplant" are all delicious. The roasted chicken is RMB 25 each, and it tastes delicious. Since it is a local chicken, the price is not too expensive. The proprietress is enthusiastic and has attentive service. No wonder the business is so booming.

3. Manting Xiaozhai Barbecue

Xishuangbanna Barbecue is very famous. It is a dietary pattern that follows the eating habits of ethnic minorities such as the Dai people. It is very different from mainland barbecue. Here The barbecue is so unique. If you want to have barbecue in Xishuangbanna, Namanting Xiaozhai is a good choice. Parking here is convenient and lively, but it is generally far away from the hotels recommended by the children. It is suitable for friends who rent a car and drive there to eat. Manting Xiaozhai is a barbecue night market. There are many barbecue restaurants here. For tourists who have just arrived in Banna, it is difficult to choose, because some barbecue restaurants here will solicit customers, and then implement "big menu" and "small menu" for tourists from other places. "Menu" guide, if you don't know the local market conditions, you may be severely slaughtered. This not only left tourists unsatisfied with their food, but also put a bad mark on their trip to Banna.

4. Thai style Caichunchun

The wooden lobby has only three walls, is airy and bright, and is full of Thai characteristics from the decoration to the costumes of the waiters. The little girl who took the order for our table turned out to be He couldn't understand what we were saying, so He was pointing at the menu and talking slowly and loudly.

The vegetable and pork rice bowl and pineapple fried rice are both delicious. There is also Thai soy milk, which is also good. The price is very suitable, not too expensive and very affordable. The environment here is quite good, very clean, and feels very fresh. The service girls are all authentic Thai girls, gentle and polite, and the menus are written in Thai with horseshoe prints.

5. Yedena Food

The environment in some places in Xishuangbanna is really not flattering, and things must be bargained for, otherwise the prices will not be fair and the price-quality ratio will be low. I warmly recommend this restaurant. They also serve Dai-style barbecue. The environment is good, the prices are lower than roadside stalls, and the food is of good quality. The papaya juice and other juices cost between 3-5 yuan. I thought it was probably flavored water, but I didn’t expect it to be made with real ingredients. Anyway, I ended up using it as a canteen. Yedena Food opposite Daxing Supermarket, Daxing Supermarket, haha, why did such a good supermarket have this name? Recommended fried banana flowers, grilled fish with lemon, and various juices. The decoration in the hall has a strong Southeast Asian flavor. After asking the waiter, I found out that Yedna seems to be Burmese, which means best. After looking at the menu, which mostly featured a variety of simple snacks and barbecues, I ordered a barada, lemongrass grilled fish, 2 stir-fried vegetables, and 2 egg and beef porridge, ***50.
