Day 7: Driving Back to Kunming for a Dinner at Shi Ping Hui Guan ((石屏会官)

We were finally heading back to Kunming, the last leg of our Yunnan trip. :) The drive from Lijiang to Kunming is 8 hours.

Our route:

Singapore > Kunming > Luoping > Kunming > Dali > Lijiang > Kunming

Our journey was hampered by these goats! Hahahahhahah :)))



















Mr Wang stopped at a local restaurant in Dali for a lunch break. As he enjoyed his 3 dishes & a soup (三菜一汤), we tried to clear the food we brought along for the road trip. :))) We needed to offload. :)))
We cleared a pack of choc & nuts biscuits...

and a tin of pink salmon & Bakery 88's walnut bread. :) The 8 hour journey was less taxing because we feasted all the way! :)))

What do you need after an 8-hour journey on the road? A super duper sumptous dinner. We decided to check out Shi Ping Hui Guan (石屏会官), a beautiful traditional courtyard restaurant for some authentic Yunnan cuisine.

Yiliang Roast Duck (宜良烤鴨). It's skin is touted to be similiar to those of Peking ducks. We beg to differ. Honey is used to crisp and colour the skin and it is roasted with pine branches to give the duck a unique flavour.

Just say, we prefer Peking duck. :)

We only knew they were Shiping doufu (石屏豆腐) when we ordered it. And when it's served before us, we couldn't help but cringed...they were stinky tofu!!! Help!!! *.*

Didn't quite knew what these were either other than some pan fried fried cheese.

They were in fact Rubing (乳饼), a type of firm, fresh goat milk cheese made by the Bai & Sani minority.

These pork dumplings had an acquired smell too... *.*

Most edible dishes were the char siew &

Chinese cabbage...

Go to Shi Ping Hui Guan for the ambience. As for the food, it's an acquired taste.
