叉蜀黍🐴Before going to Shilin, a local friend of Shilin gave me a refund for this horse meat restaurant and gave me what I think is the highest evaluation: "I can show off 3 bowls of his minced meat rice." After all, in an era when everyone is very concerned about carbon water intake, how delicious it has to be to deserve three bowls of exquisite carbon water. ⁃ 📍This restaurant is in Baozi Village. In fact, the whole village sells horse meat, but the best evaluation seems to be the "Xu Ji Horse Meat Restaurant" at the entrance of the village. We came out of Shilin and arrived at Baozi Village at more than seven o'clock, but the restaurant was still very popular, and parking spaces on the open space at the door were also hard to find. ⁃ 🐴Order dishes, order the signature dishes one by one, but "rare parts" such as horse ribs have long been sold out, and finally ordered four meat dishes and one Sichuan meat dish. 🐴The serving speed is super fast. After all, stews like clear soup horse intestines can be served by just scooping them into a bowl. ⁃ 🐴Intestines in clear soup: The first dish served was stewed in advance, and a large bowl of rich dipping sauce was served at the same time. How could this golden soup base with a large bowl of condiments not be delicious? Although it is intestines, it also contains other offal such as horse tripe. There is no peculiar smell, and even the soup tastes refreshing. 🐴Horse meat cold slices: In fact, there is not much difference from beef cold slices. If you don’t say it is horse meat, you can’t recognize it at all. There is no special taste either. The dipping sauce is sweet, with the taste of central Yunnan. 🐴Stir-fried horse meat: It is full of wok flavor and the aroma is compelling when it is served. Xuanwei stir-fried meat is famous, but this portion of horse meat is not inferior to Xuanwei stir-fried meat. It has a strong aroma, the meat is tender enough, and the onions, ginger and garlic used as ingredients are very tasty. 🐴Horse meat pickled vegetables and potato soup: My friend wanted to order a cold okra, but I refused. He came all the way here to eat okra? What's wrong with his brain? So he ordered this skewer. It turned out that the pickled vegetables tasted good, so both the potato shreds and the horse meat slices tasted very good. It's just that the soup base is a bit salty, not suitable for drinking directly, just right for mixing with rice. 🐴Chopped and fried horse meat: The dish recommended by my friend "three bowls of rice" was the last one to come up. Before that, he had already served two bowls of rice with the previous dishes. When this dish came up, he added another bowl of rice. The minced meat is really fragrant, and you can only understand the unique fragrance by eating it yourself. Of course, the oil is strong enough, so it must be eaten with rice to be fragrant. ⁃ 🌬Halfway through the meal, the wind blew violently, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the diners at all. I moved the table from the edge of the open air to the awning and continued to eat and drink. ⁃ 🌚While eating, I was discussing with my friend that if you eat this way in this restaurant, you will get fat. 🌚My friend replied: "Horse meat is very lean and you won't get fat after eating it." 🌚That's right, horses are all muscle and have almost no fat, plus they exercise a lot, so you will get skinny after eating it 🌚Hurry up and eat. ⁃ 🐴Xu Ji Baozi Authentic Horse Meat Restaurant丨Shilin, Kunming, Yunnan 📍Address: Baozi Village, Lufu Street Office, Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming City ⏰Business hours: 10:00-20:30 💰Average consumption: around 50 ✅Recommended dishes: stir-fried horse meat, stir-fried horse meat, dried horse meat, horse ribs, everything related to horse meat #Local food #Try the authentic old brand

HelenWhether it is the online ranking or the recommendation of the local B&B owner, they all point to this restaurant, so it must be eaten. As a result, I couldn't order all the signature dishes in one meal, and I went to eat again the next day. It is indeed worth recommending. I ordered more than ten dishes in total, so I won't comment on them one by one. I will just rank them according to my personal preferences. First of all, the five-star dishes that must be ordered are |Small Spicy Beef Noodles^|Fish in Vanilla Sour Soup^|Scrambled Eggs with Aphrodisiac Vegetables^. If there are not many people and you can't order many dishes, the combination of these three is not bad, with meat and vegetables, fish and meat, staple food and vegetables. Next are the more recommended four-star dishes, |Lunan Steamed Spare Ribs^|Fried Leeks with Tangli Blossom^. The former is sweet and delicious, suitable for people who can't eat spicy food, and the latter is a seasonal wild vegetable, and it is rare in other places. And |Yi Family Bacon^ is really good, and the fat part is not greasy at all. The other dishes also have their own characteristics, and generally speaking, there are no thunders. It's just that the overall dishes are relatively oily, which may not be conducive to weight loss. The service is good, quite warm and thoughtful, but they charge a table fee of three yuan per person, which actually includes tableware, rice, tea, take-away boxes, etc. It is not expensive, but it is worth considering that they still charge when the guests do not use any of them.
