Signese

Had to look up a couple:

 

脆哨: https://baike.baidu.com/item/脆哨

 

怪噜: https://baike.baidu.com/item/怪噜饭

Excellent 889!  Two of my absolute favourites, and definitely local specialties - I don't anyone outside Guizhou would know what 怪噜饭 is.

 

I used to get 脆哨粉 which is a variant of the very popular local 酸粉.  The 脆哨 refers to the crispy-brittle bits of meat added to the dish.

 

怪噜饭 I used to get from roadside vendors late at night (I'd probably had a beer or two, so the thought of what they were using - especially the oil - didn't trouble me too much) and as far as I could grasp, this was basically fried rice with everything added.  The particularly noticeable additions being a type of bean and the aforementioned 折耳根.

These are also called 香酥, often crispy fried pig skin, small bits of it. A popular addition in noodle places here. These snaps are from lunch yesterday. An extra helping of the crispy toppings costs 8 Yuan. (Far right menu board.) It was a 卤鸡 shop (chicken.)

 

I kind of feel like they could replace all that 中医 stuff under 吃卤鸡的好处 with 非常好吃 and it would be just as useful.

 

You've got me thinking now abcdefg about another type of deep fried meat that I used to get at hot pot places.  You wouldn't necessarily put it in the pot, but would just eat it on the side.  It was absolutely delicious, but fantastically unhealthy.  I'd always want to order a second (or third) plate, but all the females diners wouldn't be so keen.

 

If I think of it, I'll come back.

Haha. I live in Guiyang. Gonna have to visit more restaurants!

I can tell you exactly where to find the restaurant this menu comes from if you'd like.   If it's still there that is...

I’m waiting for a 絲娃娃 post

You asked for it...

 

 

and the offending ingredient up close...

 

This pleases me.

The close up photo looks like 折耳根。

These roots are very popular in Yunnan, especially as a salad 凉拌。 They are an acquired taste and I still don't like them much. This item goes by other names as well according to Baidu.
