Met my friends from Yunnan Univ. May and Leon for some dinner

Spicy Noodles


Yunnan has great vegetables too


Ham and cabbage


Chicken soup, though you need to clear up a thick layer of oil on top

May had another treat for me at this food chain called "Brothers Jiang". This dish is called "Cross the bridge noodle"

Take these pre-cooked stuff


And this bowl of rice noodles


and put them in this bowl of hot soup. Leave it for a while and your "cross the bridge noodle" dish is ready.


Here is another picture of "cross the bridge noodle" dish from an earlier trip to the neighbouring Guangxi province of China. Click on the picture to read about the origins of this dish.


This street near the campus is the food street, with Japanese, Chinese, Korean restaurants, couple of fashion shops and cafes.


A Korean fashion store, There is a also a shop that sells trinkets from India nearby. On the left edge you can see the signage of the Korean restaurant.


My favorite shop, the dong bei (north-east China) dumpling shop. You can see the dough on the table ready to be rolled into dumplings. The tubs below the table contains the filling that go into these dumplings.


The Green lake - a short walk from Yunnan Univ.


The afternoons are best spent in these lovely cafes. Some of them have free wi-fi.
