Trays full of various grasshoppers and silkworms. And there is octopus or squid. If you place an order, it will arrive hot immediately. All are prepared with spices for food. Once the foodie orders, the plate will be presented in front of him fried or boiled.
These verses are very dear to many residents of China’s Yunnan province. So be it Kunming or Dali, these cities in Yunnan sell this dish in bulk. The road goes straight from the Tian Chi Lake in Kunming City, the food court is right next to the Tian Chi Road. There are rows of fruit markets as well as food stalls. On the opposite side of the restaurant on the roadside are large umbrellas planted with manure. In the evening, young and old people sit around the round table on his floor.
Generally, Chinese people prefer to eat dinner in the evening. But sometimes the restaurant goes on till night. Hotpot placed in the middle of the table. Chat has accumulated. A variety of meat items hang from shelves in the restaurant. There are also shrimps and different types of fish. Snails and oysters are not left out. And there are chicken feet, various vegetables.
And if someone wants, he can cook the pada of his choice in a table hotpot or in a boiling pan on the stove. A proof-size aquarium is located in front of a restaurant. There are fish moving around. If you order, the live fish will be cut and cooked! There is also a variety of ‘mien tiao’, which is basically chow mein dipped in soup. Nanxiang Pedestrian Street is near Tangjixiang Metro Station, four kilometers away from that food court. Only people go there. After dusk, the road is lit up. Very reminiscent of Puja or Christmas-New Year’s Park Street.
On both sides of that road are food stalls with fertilizer. A shopkeeper lures passing foodies to taste his shop’s boiled or fried prawns. Some people say that his store’s faringvaja is very delicious. Others say that the varieties of silkworms in his shop are not only tasty but also very juicy. And in many places, it is sold only after cutting the fruit and adding spices. Eight or ten fried grasshoppers are put on a stick and given to the foodie. On this road is a pork butcher shop built in 1909, selling whole legs of the animal! Its price ranges from 119 yuan to 538 yuan depending on the size.
Like Kunming, Dali also has pedestrian streets. Only bicycles, scooters and e-rickshaws can ply on that road adjacent to Dali’s Rinmen Road. There are also various kinds of fruits, fish, meat, octopus, oysters being sold on the side of the road. Some shops have small sweet round breads in proof size, which the whole family can sit down and eat together. Until the night there is a bar or a beer pub.
Also available in some restaurants are cross-bridge rice noodles, which are actually considered a ‘delicacy’ in China. Behind this verse is the love story of husband and wife. A variety of boiled fish, meat, shrimp, vegetable paste, raw eggs and rice noodles are poured together in a bowl of soup-filled hot water. Boiled food, rice noodles and eggs continue to cook as they remain in the hot soup. It is customary to eat the noodles directly from the bowl on two sticks and the soup on a large spoon.
