We'd kill to eat Yunnan Barbecue

(by Desmond)
Almost all of Yunnan people are lovers of Yunnan barbecue. Quite different from other places' around the world, Yunnan barbecue is unique in its raw materials. Wild mushroom, 韭菜(a kind of eatable grass), eggplant, muscle of chicken foot, chicken skin, and various kinds of local tofu... These materials are only used in Yunnan barbecue and they are always winners.

Besides, beef, fish, pork chop, chicken wings and some other common barbecue materials become different and also terrific after adding some unique Yunnan flavoring. One of my favorite barbecue dishes is grill couch grass wrapped fish topping with red pepper powder... tender, spicy, immersed with couch grass's faint scent, amazing food you'd never have...

Every city, every town, and every block in Yunnan, you can find Yunnan barbecue booths. Yes, not big restaurant normally. So, you can imagine how cheap you'd cost to enjoy such a fantastic barbecue. 2 people splurge 100 Yuan(14 USD) and you can be fully satisfied.
