Tonight I tried 包敏手抓饭 on 文化巷. You get a selection of very spicy, Southeast-Asian-style food, served on a giant banana leaf (like they do in India), that you eat with your hands. It is pretty good, and worth a trip if you like a unique experience.

Interesting, a previous post somehow disappeared, but here it is again.

How is the promotion of non-native Asian cuisine any less detrimental to Chinese culture than the consumption of Western foods?

A serious question.

I believe it's a typical way of eating in the Nujiang valley. Can we have some information on where you ate this, Matt?

@neddy, do you sometimes eat at mcdonald's? please be honest!
