Naxi Yayuan Garden Hotel | A Culinary Journey

When you grow tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, take a break and explore. There's always a quiet corner offering solace for your soul and nourishment for your taste buds. Naxi Yayuan Hotel is just such a place. Push open the exquisitely carved wooden door, and warm sunlight streams through the window lattice, gently illuminating the dining table. The air is filled with the rich fragrance of roses and aromatherapy. Here, there are no fixed menus. Upon check-in, enjoy a hearty Chinese breakfast set, with different dishes every day, each a testament to the hotel team's inspiration and craftsmanship. To ensure the freshest flavors, dedicated staff members visit the nearby market early each morning to select the finest ingredients of the day. Signature Beef Rice Noodle Soup: Featuring Yunnan's unique highland beef, tender, juicy, and succulent, each bite of rice noodles is infused with rich meaty flavor. The rice noodles, a star of this dish, are locally made using traditional methods, resulting in a smooth, delicate, yet chewy texture. The broth is simmered slowly over low heat with a variety of spices and beef bones. This meticulous approach to broth-making ensures every sip is brimming with bone-in flavor and essence. Served with tomatoes and mint, a steaming bowl of highland beef rice noodles will kickstart your day. Customize your bowl with house-made chili oil, scallions, and cilantro to your liking. Morel Mushroom Stewed Chicken: A perfect pairing of morel mushrooms and free-range chicken. Yunnan's unique morel mushrooms offer a distinctive aroma and rich nutrients. Local free-range chicken is cut into small pieces, marinated with various seasonings and spices, then stir-fried in hot oil until lightly browned. The chicken, morel mushrooms, and cordyceps flowers are then placed in a clay pot, brought to a boil over high heat, and simmered slowly over low heat. This process extracts the umami of the morel mushrooms and the rich flavor of the chicken, resulting in a mouthwatering, fragrant stew. In addition, there's millet-braised sea cucumber, boiled prawns, pan-fried bacon rolls, handmade flower rolls, seasonal fruit platters, organic cucumber with dipping sauce, salads, and appetizers. Each dish is beautifully presented and meticulously prepared, offering a delightful culinary journey for your taste buds. Beyond the cuisine, the hotel provides attentive service. Professional staff are always on hand to assist you at just the right moment, making dining not just a feast for the palate, but a truly enjoyable experience. Come here for a romantic rendezvous with fine dining, and let the fatigue and worries of life melt away in this feast of flavors.
