Three Drops of Water

Three Drops of Water

　　It is a banquet of the highest caliber among locals, especially in the Heshun area, typically served when hosting important guests. However, it also encompasses almost all the distinctive flavors of Tengchong. The first drop: dim sum and appetizers, such as dried fruits and cold dishes. The second drop: Eight Big Bowls, mainly featuring Tengchong’s famous and specialty flavors, such as grilled cakes, pocket tofu. The third drop: sweet desserts served after the meal, such as sweet white wine and fruit.

　　Nowadays, it is rare to taste the truly authentic “Three Drops of Water,” and even if available, it has usually been modified. In addition, Guozi (pot stew) is also an important and unique dish in Tengchong’s cuisine. Aside from being served in local homes, you can also enjoy an authentic Guozi at Tengchong hotel restaurants, but it requires about 10 people dining together to finish.
