Kunmig has some great food, especially in the snack line. Regional specialties are Qiguoji(herinfused chicken cooked in an earthenware steam pot), Xuanwei Huotui(Yunnan Ham), Guoqiao Mixian(across the bridge noodles), Rubing(goat's cheese)and various Muslim beef and mutton dished. Some travelers was lyrical about toasted goats' cheese, another local specialty. It probably depends on how long you've been away from home- the cheese is actually quite bland and sticks to your teeth..
   Gourments with money to burn may perhaps be interested in w whole banquet based on Jizhong fungus(mushrooms) or 30 courses of cold mutton, not to mention fried grasshoppers or elephant trunk braised in soy sauce.
    The chief breakfast in Kunming, as throughout most of Yunnan, is noodles(choice of rice or wheat), usually served in a meat broth with a chili sauce.
    Yunnan's best know dish is a cross-the ¨Cbridge noodles, You are provided with a bowl of very hot sop(stewed with checked, duck and spare ribs)on which a thin layer of oil is floating, along with a side dish of raw pork silvers(in classier places this might be chicken or fish)and vegetables, and a bowl of rice noodles. Diners place all of the ingredients quickly into the soup bowl, where they are cooked by the steamy broth.
    Across-the-bridge noodles in the stuff of which fair tales are made, as the flowing story proves: Once upon a time there was a scholar at the South lake in Mengzi(Sotheren Yunnan)who was attracted by the peace and quiet of an island there. He settled into a cottage on the island, imprecation for official examinations. His wife, meanwhile, had to cross a long wooden bridge over the lake to bring the bookworm his meals. The food was always cold inwinter by the time she got to the study bower. Oversleeping on day she made a curious discovery. She'd stewed a fat chicken as was pulled to find the broth still hot, though it gave off no steam- the oil layer on the surface had preserved the temperature of the broth. Subsequent experiments showed that she could cook the rest of the ingredients for her husband's meal in the hot broth after the crossed the bridge.
    It is possible to try across-the-bridge noodles in innumerable restaurants in Kunming. Prices generally vary from 8-30RMB depending on the side dishes provided. It's usually worth spending a bit more, because with only one or two condiments it lacks zest.
