Kunming Chicken and rice

Right outside the Hump hostel, there is this little local joint that most tourists missed, and everything was around 1$ for a meal. 
Where are you supposed to dump the eggshells? on the floor, so the waiter can pick it up!

My sweet discoveries

Banana pancake, can't go wrong!

Pasty dried fruit filled breads and almond cookies (no yellow food colouring!!)

Inside the fried breads

Scrumptious carrot cake

Red bean and custard filled waffle type shells

Glutinous rice ball with red bean paste filling
Sweet corn bread

I have no idea, but they sure look nice! (made of glutinous rice flour)

The best eggs I ever had: Duck eggs

After sweating bullets from climbing up a mountain to see the famous "moon hill", a woman stopped us at the bottom to offer us lunch at her house in the nearby village for a very reasonable price. She had clearly done this before since she had pictures to show us of previous happy customers. 

I can't explain how delicious these duck eggs were. 
Imagine the hearty flavour that comes from the yolk times ten, in scrambled eggs. Fried up with garlic and tomatoes. We ate that up in no time!
We also got eggplant, vegetables, a meat dish, and rice, which was all grown by the owner herself.
I would marry this woman!

Street activities in China

This is called 'Go' game, that originated in China, but also popular in Japan and korea. These guys were playing at about 5am, in Beijing. 

Takin a nap?

I never knew it took skill to fly a kite!

Kunming street food

Fresh rice noodles (select your thickness) with pickled veggies, green onions, coriander, peanuts and chilli sauce. Amazing cold snack on a hot day!
And don't forget of course, MSG!


Those little huts is one of the street stalls in the beautiful park around the lake in Kunming

I heart Dumplings

In China, I can rephrase Forest Jump:
'Life is like a bunch of dumplings, you never know what your gonna get!'
You just know its going to taste good, and have some kind of mysterious protein inside! Mmmmmm
