AhPek Biker - Riding Adventures
AhPek Facebook Foodie Round-up:
December 2025 (Yunnan)
A wonderful month, with us heading on a 12-day tour of Laos (Vientiane, Vang Vieng & Luang Prabang), and onwards to South-western China (Xishuangbana, Jingmai Mountains & Pu'er), which contributed GREAT EATS of varying new dishes. This month's list is much more than the usual, with lots of eats during our Laos-China trip; as such, I have put the China-Yunnan eats into this blog here. To see the other December eats blog, click here.
Memorable eats included:
Wild Mushrooms Hot Pot, dishes with Yunnan Air-cured Smoked Bacon (Làròu ,腊肉), Yunnan Flower Pastry, and of course, not to be missed is the renowned Pu'er Tea (including a Claypot Milk Tea Concotion!).
(Excuse me if the description for each post is longer than usual; the names of the locations are longer for accuracy.)
