A Dali Lunch: Flavors of Autumn
The air in Dali Ancient Town, crisp with the scent of late autumn and mountain chill, promised a cozy refuge. We found it in a small eatery, the polished wood, brown, hardwood of the furniture gleaming softly under the natural light streaming through the window. Outside, a solitary rain chain hung, awaiting the next Yunnan shower.
Our table soon filled with the vibrant ingredients for a hotpot. The rich, steaming soup was placed at the center, ready to receive delicate slices of beef slices and fresh vegetables. Alongside, a plate of perfectly folded dumplings, dim sim awaited their dip. The colorful arrangement of fresh ingredients—the deep red of tomatoes, the earthy brown of mashrooms—promised a delightful, communal feast, a perfect moment of warmth in the cool, beautiful city.
