XIAO JI PO 8TH

An unexpected surprise. On the first day in Kunming, we encountered heavy rain and stayed by the Green Lake. We originally planned to eat at Kunming Old Street, but after waiting for Didi for 20 minutes, we still hadn't received an order. So we decided to eat by the Green Lake. We found this restaurant. Four words: highly recommended!

Yunnan cuisine has the unique characteristics of the culinary culture of the 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnan, as well as the significant characteristics of the cooking culture of the Han ethnic group. It is the product of the fusion of the food culture of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan and the food culture of the Han ethnic group.

Dian cuisine originated from the ancient Dian Kingdom from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty. It took shape during the Tang and Song Dynasties (Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom periods), experienced great changes and development during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and was formed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It is a type of cuisine in the Chinese cuisine system that has distinct national cuisine characteristics and outstanding local cuisine characteristics.

I found this restaurant near Yunnan University. It's not easy to find. The taste is OK, but the price is not cheap. I ordered 2 dishes at noon and ate them simply. The barbecued pork is what my kids like, and the other one is for rice.

Maybe it was because we went there during the Spring Festival. The food was served extremely slowly and the dishes were just so-so, not as good as the legend said. I ordered braised bacon with dried bamboo shoots, but the bacon was cut into shreds that were almost invisible. Meat is expensive but there is no need to be so frugal. I don't understand why so many people went there. The service was also very bad. They got angry if I asked more questions. I won't come again next time.

A local friend of Kunming took me there. It is very close to Yunnan University and Green Lake Park. It is located in a sloping alley. It is a two-story building with a quiet environment and a little atmosphere. The dishes are not bad, the ingredients are carefully prepared, the portions are quite large, and the overall level is good. The price-performance ratio is relatively high around Green Lake. You can try it when you travel to Kunming.
