Kunming, Restaurants

While Kunming is not especially known for it’s local cuisine, Yunnan-style Chinese food is increasingly becoming popular in other parts of China.  Yunnan is even getting some global recognition as Pu’er tea and other local products are becoming more well-known.  Recently, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, an upscale Chinese food chain in the United States has included Yunnan options in it’s menu.

Travelers without the time for a trip to the Xishuangbanna area of southern Yunnan can at least sample its native cuisine at any one of the Dai minority restaurants in town. 

Kunming is also lucky enough to include several excellent western-style cafes that definitely hit the spot if you have the cravings and/or the shakes from what seems like endless amounts of rice and noodles. 

Better yet, Kunming also seems to be one of the cheapest major cities in China for all of these dining options.

Why review a Thai restaurant that is rather difficult to find and whose remote location makes leaving a chore as well?  Because Moonlight Corner Thai Cuisine serves some of the best Thai food in China!

The Bangkok Cafe serves decent Thai food near Yunnan University.  Prices are very reasonable and options are quite filling.  The menu is filled with dozens of choices, including Thai soups, noodles, rice, and dishes.  There are also a few options that are not on the menu that can be ordered, including Thai curries that are quite tasty.

This restaurant, located near Yunnan University, may be hidden on a little side street, but that does not deter people from coming in droves to enjoy this special treat.  Every single night there is a line of hungry customers waiting outside the restaurant in order to savor the spicy crab dry hotpot.  By arriving around 7 pm, smaller groups of 4 or less can expect to wait an hour to g
