KANGDING Road is one of those streets that drive tourists and newly arrived expatriates to despair. It meanders through Jing'an District for quite a distance. At one point pedestrians have to follow the crossing at Yanping Road for 50 meters, to find their way back to Kangding Road. Lined with trees, the street is full of little shops selling many things. But they are jumbled together with convenience stores or the occasional office building. But there is more to explore. Just a backyard away, there is a laid-back pub for after work get-togethers, authentic Taiwanese cuisine and more.
Legend Taste
Yunnan Province is not only known for its beautiful scenery and culture but also home to a richly varied cuisine. Legend Taste is one of the few decent Yunnan restaurants in town serving great food at a reasonable price. Most of the dishes come from Hani, Dai and Wa minorities. The eatery offers typical specialties including Deep fried Dali Crème Leaves (28 yuan, US$4.37), Jinpo-style Tender Chicken with Lemon and Chili (38 yuan), Hani Tree Flower (32 yuan), Yi Tribe Prawns (68 yuan), Shrimps Braised with Pu'er tea (88 yuan) and Sauteed Chicken in Hani Ethnic Group Style (48 yuan). Most of the ingredients are sourced from Yunnan, which are fresh and natural, like mushrooms, vegetables and even flowers. The characteristics of Yunnan cuisine lie in a moderate balance of sweet, sour, oily and spicy flavors. Dinner costs about 80 yuan to 100 yuan per person and the business lunch set is priced from 18 yuan to 35 yuan.
