Guan
Sheng (關上) is a district where there are many restaurants, the most
famous several mushroom restaurants also have their branch here. Dian
Jun Wang is quite a big restaurant group, it has totally 4 restaurants
in Kunming. The restaurant name has the meaning of “King of Mushroom in
Yunnan ”. The one we lunch can serve 500 persons at the same time.
Decoration and design of restaurant are very good. It should rank at the
top level in Kunming. Dian Jun Wang is quite different from Yunnan
Families (雲南人家) in appearance and feeling. Dian Jun Wang is a restaurant
of modern appearance, whereas Yunnan Families is decorated with strong
Yunnan traditional feel.
Our target to lunch in Dian Jun Wang
this time is to eat mushroom hot pot. If you order hot pot, the
restaurant would assign a waitress to take care of your table, to put
all foods into the pot, and to ensure all foods are fully cooked. Some
mushrooms would be poisonous if they are not fully cooked. What you need
to do is to see how the waitress puts the mushrooms into the pot and
wait for ~10 minutes.
We eat Chinese Yam at the end. The texture
becomes soft after boiling for a long time. We have not ordered any rice
and other foods. We are enough after eating Chinese Yam as rice at the
end. The soup is now rich in mushroom taste, together with the taste of
frog meat. We have a sumptuous and delicious lunch of RMB154. We found
that it is value for money. We must try again if we visit Kunming next
time.
