小象This Dai restaurant is also good, the food is delicious. You have to wash your hands before eating because you have to eat pilaf, which includes pineapple rice, purple rice, Dai glutinous rice, fish wrapped in vegetables, roasted chicken, and roasted fish. In short, it is delicious.

On the way back to Kunming from Mohan Port, I passed through Pu'er City. I had never eaten Dai pilaf before. The appearance of a plate of colorful pilaf was mouth-watering. The taste was also quite good.
