Is Dai Wei better than Dehong or Banna? This is a topic that the people of Yunnan have been arguing about, and the intensity is no less intense than whether tofu brain should be eaten sweet or salty. But in the eyes of outsiders, no matter where the Dai flavor is rich in ingredients, sour, hot and refreshing, it can be described as a wonderful flower in Yunnan cuisine. Nami Dai Garden is the representative of Dehong Dai Flavor, which was founded in Kunming in 2004, formerly known as Jinshi Dehong Flavor Garden, and opened its first branch in Shenzhen in August 2017. Although it is located in a remote alley, it has only been open for half a year, and it has become famous far and wide, and almost every time you enter the store, you can hear Yunnan old watches speaking dialect or Yunnan Pu dining here.

As we all know, authenticity doesn't necessarily equal deliciousness. But when it comes to taste, almost every dish in Nami Dai Garden is remarkable. Charcoal-grilled pork belly Nami Dai Yuan's most popular dish. The pork belly is marinated before the barbecue, and the taste is full and juicy, and it has a unique flavor when dipped in the special condiments of the Dai family. Grilled fish with lemongrass is also a must-order dish when entering the restaurant. The spiny tilapia is cut in half and grilled over a fire with fragrant lemongrass, where it is crispy and delicious. After eating big fish and meat, you might as well have a platter to relieve your greasy.
