What travelers say:
This store is at the exit of Yanjia Courtyard. It is just right to have lunch when you visit Yanjia Courtyard. There are also medals for the Trip.com Food Forest on the wall of the store. Ordered "water-based Yanghua", "squid tofu soup" and "fried bait block." The salmon here is more delicious, the fish meat is slightly sweet, and there is no earthy smell of that kind of fish. "Water-based poplar flowers" is actually a green leafy vegetable, the taste is smooth and refreshing, is a local specialty, it is a must. "Fried bait block" is a bit spicy and the taste is good.

This restaurant is right at the exit of Yan's Courtyard. It's a good place to have lunch after visiting Yan's Courtyard. There is a Ctrip Food Forest medal on the wall of the restaurant. I ordered "Water Yanghua", "Carp Tofu Soup" and "Stir-fried Baikui". The carp here is more delicious, the fish meat is slightly sweet, and there is no earthy smell of fish. "Water Yanghua" is actually a kind of green leafy vegetable with a smooth taste. It is a local specialty and a must-order. "Stir-fried Baikui" is a little spicy, but the taste is still good.
Carnivores feel like a mouse falling into a rice jar. I especially recommend this pot of braised meat. Not only is the quantity large, but the taste is also great. It turns out that Yunnan has such delicious food. I thought only Guangdong could make such delicious food?
I stayed at the Yan Family House in Xizhou Ancient Town. There were many tourists during the day, but it was a very quiet ancient town at night. I slowly experienced and appreciated it. So I stayed for another night. The locals were all Bai people, and they recommended the Sifang Street restaurant for its good quality and low price. I stayed in the ancient town for two nights and had three meals here. I tried almost all the dishes. The crucian carp was so delicious, and there were so many fish roe in this season. The braised meat was great. Every dish deserves a thumbs up.
Xizhou Ancient Town is really not big and there is nothing fun to do. I had a Bai ethnic specialty meal which I am not sure whether it was lunch or dinner. Sifang Street Food Restaurant is a popular restaurant ranked high in Xizhou Ancient Town. The dishes we ordered were served soon and they were quite rich, including scrambled eggs with various flowers, mashed potatoes and pomegranate flowers, braised meat, various wild vegetables mixed with cold salad, and stir-fried meat with sauerkraut.
We ate in the garden. The food was delicious. The boss was very considerate. He was afraid that we would order too much and couldn't finish it, so he kept asking us to order less. The taste was very good. It looked spicy, but it wasn't. The dessert was just the right sweetness.
I read some reviews saying the environment was bad, maybe it has improved. I saw that the dining area was clean and tidy, and the kitchen staff were busy. There was nothing unusual. The boss has been running the restaurant for 20 years and has mastered standard Mandarin. The dishes he recommended were also to our taste. Seeing that my mother and I didn't eat much, we ordered a small portion of braised meat. But the baby loved it and asked for more, so the boss generously added more. Pomegranate flowers are crispy, and azalea flowers are soft and delicious when made into soup. The boss's recommendation allowed us to taste special ingredients, which is also the meaning of travel.
It tastes very homely, but it's still delicious. It's just opposite the Yan Family Courtyard on Sifang Street. I really like the feeling of this shabby little shop. The boss is very talkative and will enthusiastically show you the way. I recommend the braised pork (remember to dip it in sauce), and the fried shrimp is also very fragrant! The boss repeatedly recommended his plum wine, but it actually tasted average. I had it in Dali Ancient Town before and it tasted better~
