| Yes, the one of typical Yunnan food is OVER BRIDGE RICE NOODLES, another one is STEAMER CHICKEN. But i like Yunnan mashrooms most, this time is good season to try mushrooms in Yunnan. You can find lots of mushroos at summer in Yunnan. Cheers |

| The "Over the bridge" Mixian has a coat of oil (see pix) poured over hot soup so that other ingredients could be added in and 'cooked' in the bowl of rice noodles like in a hot pot. The thin slice of meat was horse meat that i should have liked to avoid... The chicken in soup steamed in yixing clay pot is similar to Korean steamed ginseng chicken but usually a kind of chinese herb that might give a slight bitter flavour..It's tasty depending on the kinds and quantity of the herbs given and its worth trying or maybe worth checking out locally for a restaurant with a tradition offering this dish. So as the wild mushrooms hot pot. yunnan is also famous for pu'er tea, it's more 'bitter' red tea, not gentle and fragrant green tea. i came across some Dali dishes cooked with fruits which were very tasty too  |

| Yunnan foods are mostly spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, please tell them "Bu Yao La zi" (means don't put chily) when you make orders. Fried Patato ("Tu Dou Ba Ba") (especially in Lijiang) is the most delicious I have tried in China. Dont forget to try it.:) |
