I got back yesterday morning from a 3-day (4 night if you count each way on the night bus) trip to Xishuangbanna, a region in the SW of Yunnan, and just a skip and a jump away from the rest of SE Asia. There is a heavy Thai influence, but it's no thailand. It
is a wealth of sticky rice, so I spent most of the trip trying to find room in the gullet for just one more deep fried piece of important business. The winners were as follows:
deep fried patties made of glutinous rice powder, banana, and coconut (upper right), and glutinous rice cooked in a bamboo tube, which didn't have a particularly memorabe flavor, but the novelty was quite enough for me.
