It really takes a lot of effort to find out where to eat when I come to Kunming for the first time.

1. Emperor's food rescue

Characteristic index: ★★★★★

Location: Tengchong Bait Silk Store in Guanghua Street

This store has been open for 2 years, and it can be described as an old brand with full flavor in Kunming. I bought a ticket in a small shop, gave it to the waiter in the window, and soon served delicious food. After eating it at a big iron table, it felt like returning to the canteen of a state-owned factory, and it felt very cordial. Tengchong bait silk is no stranger to Kunming people. It is refined from precious Tengchong pulp rice, which is flexible, delicate, mellow and delicious. It has experienced three dynasties of Ming, Qing and Republic of China and has a history of more than 5 years.

Recommended menu:

Great rescue-the bait produced in Tengchong is fine and waxy, white with bones and muscles, cut into rhombic slices, stir-fried with fresh pork slices, ham slices, sauerkraut, chopped green onion, spinach, tomato, bad chili pepper, eggs, etc., braised with a small amount of broth, seasoned with sauce, and finally served with a bowl of sour soup. It tastes spicy and delicious.

water-boiled hibiscus bait-the small egg roll wrapped with meat, barbecue and Tengchong bait are cooked together. The bait tastes very soft and delicate, and the soup is very delicious.

Tengchong pickled vegetables —— Pickled vegetables are a common dish in Kunming. Cut the dried vegetables into sections, sprinkle with coarse salt, mix with pepper, pepper, ginger, star anise, fennel and some cooking wine, and put them in a pottery jar for one month before eating. It tastes moderately sour and spicy, has a special sweetness, and has a unique taste, which is very appetizing.

To taste the fashion taste of Kunming, you have to go to Heping Village. In addition to being the fashion center of Kunming, there is also a delicious Zhengji pickle shop. Every time I pass by a small shop, the door is crowded with many fashionable MM's, carrying a few big bags of kimchi in their hands, and they stutter with toothpicks in the street, completely ignoring the gentlemanly demeanor. The store will also be full of girls, eating kimchi in front of them and talking and laughing. Zheng Ji's kimchi is especially special. Apart from ordinary cold dishes, even fresh fruits are used for pickling, and the taste is very unique. No wonder the shop is so good and popular with girls. I heard from the boss that their kimchi is ancestral and has been handed down for four generations. There are five or six kinds of seasonings used alone, and it is only natural that it has a unique taste. Recommended menu:

Kimchi-there are traditional pickled cucumbers, kelp, broken ears, bitter gourd and dragon-soaked vegetables. It tastes spicy but has a unique fragrance. Specially recommend spicy lotus root and spicy hairy belly. The lotus root is soft, the hairy belly is crispy and full of spicy taste.

soaked fruits-Dai pineapple, spicy strawberry, spicy bayberry and spicy papaya. What will happen when fresh fruit is wrapped in pepper? You can't imagine what it will taste like. In fact, in addition to being slightly spicy when put in the mouth, it still tastes sweet as fruit.

cold snails-small shelled snails are mixed and stirred with various seasonings such as peppers and salty and spicy sauce, and the taste is very unique. Snails are crisp and spicy, which is very attractive.

Warm reminder: After eating so many pickles, the spicy taste is certain, not to mention that the tears are so spicy that the taste is greatly stimulated. At this time, you can buy a cup of olive water, sour papaya water or bayberry water from a small shop, which is sour and sweet, very spicy and refreshing.
