龙眼烧白 Dragon Eyes Burnt White - 味艺食府 WeiYiShiFu CNY28

--- On our last night in Kunming, we set out to find an upmarket dining experience, and as it happens, we walked past a newly opened fancy looking restaurant and decided to give it a chance. The results on that fateful night, while not totally SS Minnow-esque, was not exactly the culmination of 5000 years of civilization either.

The dishes we tried were modern renditions of traditional dishes with a pretentious twist, mostly for visual appeal rather than taste. The pickled vegetables were the best dish of the night!

For some unknown reason, many dishes were overpowered by a sweet element, be it a dipping "sauce" of tinned sweetened condensed milk for the 西式金丝卷 Western-style Deep-fried Silver-thread Buns with Ham, or a watery syrup "glaze" over the 龙眼烧白 Dragon Eyes Burnt White, a savoury steamed glutinous rice studded with lotus seeds and sprinkled with luridly coloured candied peel.

Other dishes just seemed a bit bland and a waste of exciting ingredients. The 四朵野花 Four Wild Flowers was 4 types of flowers, each cooked in a different style, but with the inevitable addition of dried, fresh, or ground chillies, completely overpowering the subtle floral fragrances. Apart from the 茉莉花 jasmine and 石榴花 pomegranate flowers, I had no idea what the There was 金花 "gold flower" and 白花 "white flower" were. Having just a pile of stir-fried flowers wasn't texturally interesting either, although the pomegranate flowers were definitely exotic for it's boxy prehistoric appearance.

We also had a 山珍汤盅 Soup of Mountain Delicacies, supposedly a starter, but arrived just before the dishes were cleared! The verdict, salty. Well, perhaps that is a bit harsh. At least it was rich and tasty, even if the flavours didn't stand out.

Overall, this was a disappointing and expensive experience. Perhaps we should have stuck with something more traditional, or perhaps we should have consulted local dining reviews.
