This is episode 2 of our Lost Plate Food Tour across Yunnan, China. We started the day off with the most authentic breakfast in the town of XIzhou before making our way to the waters edge of Erhai Lake. After a lunch consisting of the ingridents from the lake we headed farther into Yunnan to a small picturesque village called Shaaxi. In Shaaxi we finished our day off with an epic Yunnanese meal with cheese, ham and more!
