Having this meal at Lugu Lake made me forgive the culinary desert.

Having this meal at Lugu Lake, I've forgiven the supposed food wasteland! My friend always said to bring instant noodles when visiting Lugu Lake. This time, I completely proved him wrong. We found a restaurant right next to Lugu Lake. Sitting by the window, the lake was right in front of us. It felt like being in a painting. It completely overturned my impression of restaurants in tourist areas. And who says Lugu Lake is a food wasteland? I really have to speak up for it! ✅ Wild Honey Pickled Tree Tomatoes: A sweet and sour appetizer. The tree tomatoes were pickled perfectly, and the combination with peach gum created a rich texture. ✅ Shangri-La Black Truffle Roasted Goose The goose skin is crispy and the meat is tender, with a prominent aroma of black truffle. Paired with pickled plums, it's not greasy at all. ✅ Mosuo Fire Pit Roasted Pork Knuckle The pork knuckle is roasted until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dipped in tree tomato sauce, served with pickled vegetables and fried pork skin, it's incredibly flavorful. ✅ Morel Mushroom Stewed Yak Brisket The yak brisket is stewed until tender and flavorful. The morel mushrooms have absorbed the broth, making it fresh, fragrant, and rich. One sip of the soup warms you right up. ✅ Stir-fried Porcini Mushrooms with Zoupi Peppers The porcini mushrooms are smooth and delicious, while Zoupi peppers add aroma and a touch of spiciness. Stir-fried with great wok hei (wok aroma), it's incredibly delicious with rice! ✅ Termitomyces Mushroom Fried Rice The rice is fried until each grain is separate and fluffy! The aroma of termite mushrooms and other mushrooms is irresistible! 📍 Shinoki
