Wild mushroom hotpot at Junhai Senlin, with ganba fried rice

Kunming, several branches

Junhai Senlin has served wild mushroom hotpot for about 20 years: a chicken broth with platters of seasonal porcini, termite mushrooms (jizong) and other wild varieties. On the side, order fried rice with ganba, a dark, deeply savory local mushroom. The season runs roughly June to September.

What locals sayLocals see it as a safe, old-school choice rather than a trendy one, and say the ganba fried rice is the one side dish not to skip.
