At this Yunnan vegetarian restaurant, taste the surprises from a beautiful chef

🍴Ya, a very private restaurant located in Dafang Hutong in the East City. A restaurant with Yunnan cuisine as its DNA. I came here again and discovered that Ya has become a Yunnan vegetarian restaurant! 👩‍🍳The restaurant's chef is a young and beautiful lady who doesn't have a professional culinary background but loves creating food. She uses various ingredients from Yunnan such as sprouts, flowers, and mushrooms to create exquisite culinary artworks that satisfy modern people's different food fantasies. Here, you enjoy both food and art! 📖The spring menu "Spring on the Cliff" is divided into three tributes with a total of 16 dishes. ✅The names of 6 appetizers also display the art of spring: "Rammed Earth" made with cucumber flowers, avocado, wasabi sauce, and crispy bamboo fungus "Shangri-La" combines pomegranate flowers, black truffle, walnut sauce, and highland barley balls "Cockscomb Flower" uses roselle, hydnum repandum, peanut sauce, and seaweed rolls Like a tribute to botanists, "Cliff" pairs dendrobium flowers, shimeji mushrooms, sugar apple sauce, and torch pear with edge oolong roasted tea; Bread basket: ink rose baguette and Sichuan pepper sprout fennel cake "Bite of Spring": spring wild vegetables, small yellow ginger soup & groundsel, white enoki mushrooms, lotus leaf wrapped ancient cake ✅The 4 main courses are more rich in flavor: "Hidden Flower Rainforest": morel mushrooms, tree flowers, mountain su leaves, and chicken mushroom XO sauce paired with pineapple green tangerine pu'er non-alcoholic beer "Blown Ash Dessert": lion's mane mushroom, chanterelle, potato, burdock, lily bulb, persimmon, carrot and celery root "Three Rivers Valley": "Seasoning Plate" features porcini and tiger's paw mushroom skewers with eleven-flavor sauce, like painting with sauce ✅6 dishes focused on staple foods: "Lucky Bag Pot": purple rice noodles, three types of tofu, three colors of wood ear mushrooms and pea shoots combined into Yunnan rice noodles "Spring Silkworm Rice": Yuanyang red rice, broad beans, spring bamboo shoots, broussonetia catkins and ganba mushrooms paired with fragrant lime Yunnan olive juice "Yunnan Cheese": Yunnan milk fan with raspberry gummies using liquid nitrogen "Tofu Pudding": bean curd skin sorbet, soap pod seeds, snow fungus and peach gum "Green Tongue": pistachio, green mint, kiwi and white chocolate popsicle "Three Small Pieces": mung bean cake, summer fruit dark chocolate and maitake cookies, paired with pu'er coffee beans or agarwood leaf matsutake tea 🍽️The tableware isn't randomly matched; each piece is a very simple and natural vessel, customized for different dishes.
