YUN NANS

7 Restaurants To Explore The Regional Cuisines Of China

"This new restaurant at Jewel Changi Airport is the first overseas outlet of Yunnan restaurant chain Yun Hai Yao, which specialises in the little-known gao yuan liao li , or highland cuisine. The cuisine is characterised by local ingredients that are cultivated up to 6,000m above sea level in Yunnan’s highlands in China, including wild porcini, black truffle, wheat pumpkin and edible flowers. Signature dishes include stir-fried porcini mushrooms with dried chilli, beef stew simmered in a copper pot and a chicken soup in which a special breed of black-footed chicken is pressure-steamed for three hours to make a clear, robust broth without adding a drop of water." - Rachel Tan
