Dai people believe that eating sour food is effective in refreshing mind, improving eyesight, helping digest and relieving summer heat and fever. Thus, there are lots of sour dishes in Dai cuisine, like sour steamed meat, sour fried fish with bamboo shoot, sour stewed beef with pawpaw, stewed bean curd with pickled vegetable. Without sour dishes, Dai people will lose their appetite. If you come to Dehong Prefecture, you’d better go to a secluded Dai-style bamboo stilt restaurant for a taste of sour food.
