Eat Kunming

If you were asked to count down your memories of a city, the most memorable ones would be the local food.

No.1 Steam Pot Chicken

Steam pot chicken has been rated as one of the top ten classic dishes in Yunnan as "Chinese Cuisine".

The tableware for the steam pot chicken must be made from Jianshui earthenware steam pot for the best taste. There is a hollow tube in the middle of the Jianshui steam boiler. The steam enters the pot along this tube. After being cooled by the boiler cover, it turns into water and drips into the pot to become chicken soup. After two or three hours, the meat cake will be separated from the bones and can be eaten.
