Sitr Fried Yak Meat at Baishuitai 白水台
I raced up and down to Baishuitai to make sure I get to catch my transport back home. Baishuitai is in a remote part of Yunnan and the only way to access the place is by a highway. The town doesn’t have a bus station where I can just wait. It doesn’t have some rudimentary form of a bus terminal though. There was a parking area where buses and cars can wait for their passengers. However, public buses do not use this. I decided to take a very quick lunch while waiting for my bus. The staff of the restaurant were very friendly and told me that I would be able to make it in time to catch the bus, they said they will tell me when it has arrived.
Empty Restaurant at Baishuitai 白水台
The restaurant seemed very empty and I actually had to go to the kitchen to find people, I ordered some smoked meat, yes the one hanging on the their window. I think it was yak meat but I didn’t really care. I was hungry and I needed to eat. This wasn’t the cheapest place to eat either as it cost me more thant CNY 40, quite expensive for a place which was very remote. As for the food, it was stir fried with chili. I also ordered some greens to go with them, I didn’t know the name of the greens either. The food wasn’t great, the meat was quite tough and I ended up having to spit out some of the meat since it was that tough. I probably had more of the greens instead. The rest of the time, I was drinking tea while waiting for my bus.
