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 all the way around. It is very beautiful and very suitable for taking pictures.

It seems that the owner's decoration is very serious and thoughtful.

I was wandering around the yard and found a chef roasting chicken and pig sausages. 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 for more than a year. It is a kind of chicken.

High-quality variety, the meat is fresh and tender, but the chicken bones are hard.

Regarding 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 Dai barbecue, and the most popular thing is Dai hand-picked rice, so I don’t know what to eat today until the food is served.

, 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. Instead, I was attracted by the bamboo plate on which the dishes were served. I thought of the “Crazy Ximen” who made bamboo pots in Jianshui, and wanted to take a picture and use it as material for him.

It was only after a friend introduced me that this plate called "Nami Vegetable Platter" actually had 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 think it is "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. The ones eaten in the north are canned, which seems to be

Suspected preservatives.

This is something I love to eat.

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

This dish served with bamboo shoot utensils 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 was the first time I tasted "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 choking 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 cuisine also has many styles that Thai people like, but I am not very interested in shrimp, so I won’t say more about it.

The "Sour Bamboo Shoots and Fish" served next was my favorite. I mainly eat sour bamboo shoots and don't like fish much. This dish is very unique and it is my first time to eat it.

This is another special dish called "canned banana flower soup". There are many edible flowers in Yunnan, and 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 "roasted 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. It would be better if it can be paired with some vegetable leaves or garlic slices like northern barbecue.

alright.

This is "baked rice sausage". It's the first time I've eaten it. It's the small intestine of a pig. It's said that a pig can't give birth to much. My friend said that when I was a kid, pigs were killed at home and the rice sausage was eaten by the elderly and not by children.

This fragrance and taste are also good.

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

Although I didn't get 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 temples (many people believe in Buddhism).

In addition, I found Kunming’s winter to be “cold”, and another point was that I was far away from my favorite village (it is said that I can go to the village to drink tea and chat with girls).

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 Subdistrict 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 do it if they have time.

Taste it.
