Yunnan food festival
A flower-based banquet theme shapes this year's Yunnan Food Festival at the Minzu Hotel through May 20. A chef from the province will use seasonal ingredients including fresh flowers and plants from Yunnan, such as camellia, jasmine, azalea and bamboo. Yunnan has a long history of cooking with flowers, which can be made into desserts and soup, or be pan-fried and mixed with other ingredients. Classic traditional dishes available at lunch and dinner include steamed pot chicken, morel with wrinkled pepper, and wild broccoli with garlic.
