THE RED ELEPHANT Review

What kind of style would make you slow down and stay for a moment, just like flowers and rain, clouds and wind, just like the coming and going and haste of everything in nature. I really feel that the world should not have so many troubles.

I came here during lunch time on the weekend. There are many fans. The environment is very good, natural and comfortable. The taste is very good and down-to-earth with the taste of nature. Maybe because of this, many people want to experience the authentic Dai cuisine and the environment. The taste is really very good. I have experienced various Dai people’s condiments. This is an impressive dining experience during my few days in Xishuangbanna. My friends who went with us also enjoyed the meal very much. I recommend this one. !

Red Tooth Elephant is a restaurant that mainly serves Dai cuisine, supplemented by mainland and Southeast Asian cuisine. It has a wide variety of dishes and is very cost-effective. I was particularly impressed by the beef offal soup pot and Thai sour sausage. I also drank Dai wine. The service was warm and the communication was soft, which fully reflected the unique charm of the Dai people's softness and beauty. I will miss you, the food of Red Tooth Elephant, which is also a beautiful memory of Xishuangbanna!

The address is located at the end of the Lover's Bridge on Minhang Road, Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna, next to a river called Liusha River. The overall environment is elegant and quiet, with attics and pavilions full of Dai flavor. The store's careful design can be seen surrounded by green plants. The first impression when entering the store is exquisite and delicate. The corners, cash registers, crafts display areas, and photo shooting areas all reflect the good intentions of the merchants. The lobby area is particularly impressive. 7 or 8 mahogany solid wood boards are not used as tea drinking and leisure areas but dining areas. I instantly feel the thickness, solidity and luxury of the store. I think I am a person who likes to drink tea. It is really indescribable, complex, and bitter. With the mentality of appreciating the beautiful scenery first, I went around the entire food garden and found many novel and interesting places. After leaving the lobby and crossing a tree-lined path, there is a row of pavilion-style private rooms next to it. The overall structure is made of bamboo and wood with green plants and vines. It is elegant and quiet. Each private room has a different atmosphere. Each private room can see the surging Liusha River. It is still a word beautiful! Through the private room is the bathroom area. Based on the familiar environment, I checked it. When I entered the door, I was greeted by a strong and refreshing fragrance instead of a bad smell. It smelled particularly good. It can be said that the bathroom of this restaurant has taken care of everything from the detail design to the customer experience, from the lighting angle to the special pottery jars of the intangible cultural heritage of water collection, the DIY murals on the wall, and the embellishment of potted green plants. The word is fine! Looking out of the door, there is a large piece of land with crops planted in the river. It is green. I asked the waiter with doubts. The waiter replied that the large piece of land below also belongs to the restaurant. They planted more than 10 kinds of crops and vegetables. They are basically self-sufficient and natural. It was also revealed that there were more than 2,000 moringa trees planted in the land. The main dish promoted this season is moringa. With a naive idea, I had only heard of moringa seeds. Could moringa be edible? So I made up my mind to try it. So I started to choose the location area, lobby and private room, and I was struggling fiercely. I wanted to feel the heavy and solid mahogany table or experience the refreshing scenery by the river. After a struggle, I chose the private room by the river. I thought that I could drink tea after dinner. Can't I see the big board in Banna? I was instantly mentally balanced. Then I ordered the menu in a graphic style, plus the new product list of the moringa series. I first ordered a moringa soup and moringa omelette, Dai-style pineapple rice, other barbecue platters, Dai-style boiled rice noodles, grilled fish, fried banana flowers, etc., and started eating. First of all, moringa, two words are unique, clear water moringa, natural fragrance, sweet soup, moringa is refreshing and endless aftertaste, and other pineapple rice, platters, etc. are just right, the plating is very delicate, and the rice noodles are super full, which is in line with the authentic Dai flavor. By the way, there is another important point. The merchant also gave away Dai-style glutinous rice cakes, which are sweet and soft, and leave a lingering fragrance. It is very delicious. After the meal, inspiration struck and I recorded this experience.

I really gained a lot from this trip to Xishuangbanna. The Nanmu Luona Hotel where I stayed is very convenient for eating and shopping in the city. The boss is also very enthusiastic. The 20% discount on the recommended scenic spot tickets is very cost-effective. He also recommended a very delicious restaurant, which is the Dai Food Garden. The fare for the hotel chef to take me here was only 10 yuan. The environment in the store is very quiet, with many plants. I ordered the recommended dishes. The roasted chicken has tender muscles and crispy skin. The roasted fish is the best Dai dish I have eaten so many times in Banna. The fish tastes very delicious. There are still many dishes I didn’t finish. The portion is too big, nice~ In short, it was a good trip to Xishuangbanna!

In a quiet place beside the Liusha River Bridge, it took 2 kilometers to get there. The environment is good. I ordered a set meal for 2 people. The vanilla grilled fish and grilled chicken are particularly delicious, and there is also my favorite pineapple rice. In short, the taste is good, and it is more delicate. It is worth coming. The taste is super super good. The pineapple rice is the best I have ever eaten. The crystal clear rice is full of pineapple meat from top to bottom. My husband ordered two servings of lemongrass grilled ribs. Other Dai specialties are also great. The service is very good. As soon as you sit down, you will be served lemon water, and there are crispy and crispy things like rice crust, which seem to be called glutinous rice crisps, and Dai zongzi, all free! The price of the dishes is not expensive, very affordable.

I accidentally found it online. I was very satisfied after eating there on the first day, so I went there again on the second day. This Dai-style restaurant has a very nice environment and the decoration is full of Dai style. The grilled fish, grilled chicken, and grilled spare ribs are all delicious. I especially recommend the Dai-style rice noodles, fried sour soup with rice noodles, which are so delicious! And it is very cost-effective. Our family of three ordered a lot, and a meal cost about 160, which is economical and delicious.

Jinuo Mountain is Baopo Village, Jinuo Township, Jinghong City, Dai Autonomous Prefecture. The Jinuo people are the last of the 56 ethnic minorities. The scenery there is beautiful and the air is fresh. People there rarely leave their Jinuo village. The Pu'er tea cakes there are all handmade and have a fragrant smell. If people from outside want to enter their village, they must be brought in by someone from their village. Otherwise, nothing from the outside world can enter their village. The Jinuo people are a matriarchal society. Men are all money-losing goods. If a boy is born in a family, they must prepare tea for the wife as a dowry and marry it to the woman's family.
