Fried ersi and braised beef rice at Selemu on Boai Road

Boai Road, Dali Old Town

A Hui halal canteen at the corner of Boai Road and Yu'er Road that Dali people have eaten at since they were kids. Order the fried ersi, chewy rice-cake strands tossed in a hot wok, or braised beef over rice in broth. It's fast, cheap and busiest at lunch.

What locals sayPosts list it among the old-town places locals have eaten at since childhood, not a spot built for tourists.
