Tips

culture

乳扇 is a Bai (白族) dairy specialty from Dali, Yunnan - sheets of fresh cow or goat milk coagulated with acid whey, then stretched and folded onto bamboo racks in a fan shape (hence 扇 'fan'). Counted among Yunnan's 'eighteen oddities' (云南十八怪: 牛奶做成片片卖 - 'milk is sold in sheets'). Grilled with rose jam is the iconic preparation.
