Beef Noodle



Bitter gourd with fried egg - It tasted good because of MSG but became extremely thirsty after that and the taste lasted the whole night. This is the power of chemical seasoning.

Noodle with Pork at Naxi Guest House. No appetite to eat after exhaustion. Also pork cubes were not fresh.

Dali Beer - Initial taste was strange probably due to the ingredients in which the beer was made. But drinking further, it was fine. Cost between 10 to 15 yuan per bottle.

Vegetable Noodle - Not much appetite to eat. This was pale in comparison with what the Koreans hikers and family had. I was thinking of Singapore good food during this dinner.

Fried Rice - Again MSG was added.

Another Vegetable Noodle - Noodle in soup was good because the MSG was diluted and secondly all the ingredients were thoroughly boiled. This shop served free chinese tea and had free wifi.

This was the best meal I had in China. Plain porridge with Xiao Long Bao. Special mentioned was the plain porridge which had a sweet fragrant. It was either corn or barley. In Singapore, our plain porridge is really almost tastless. But this is good. Xiao Long Bao was also good. It cost me less than 15 yuan for this breakfast. For once, I was pleased that there was little or no MSG.

This is the shop that sell the plain porridge and xiao long bao. It is located near Zhong Yi Market and old Lijiang town. The eating place has a very classic chinese look.
