I love to eat specialty mushrooms and am very skilled in using chopsticks. US Treasury Secretary Yellen eats Yunnan cuisine at Sanlitun. US Treasury Department | Janet Yellen | Yunnan cuisine
According to CCTV News, on the afternoon of July 6, 2023, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen arrived in Beijing by plane. According to the agreement between China and the United States, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will visit China from July 6th to 9th. According to Weibo users and the official Weibo account of the restaurant "Sit and Forget", Yelen's first meal after getting off the plane was at a Yunnan restaurant in Sanlitun, Beijing.
The Weibo image of Tuyuan Restaurant shows that Yelen and his group did not sit in a private room, but rather in the lobby of the restaurant. The Weibo netizen "Pan Pan Mao" happened to have dinner in the restaurant at that time and ran into Yelen. She mentioned that Yelen ordered a lot of Yunnan home dishes, including roasted fish with herbs, peppermint beef rolls, fried potato slices with pickled Chinese cabbage, fried boletus, Dali carved plum chops, etc., and also responded to her "bright smile". The founder of the restaurant also posted on Weibo that Yelen arrived at the restaurant in a dusty manner as soon as she landed. The staff said that she loves to eat Yunnan specialty mushrooms and ordered four just because she saw her hands green.
It is reported that the restaurant is located near the embassy area of Beijing and is a restaurant frequently visited by foreign embassies and accompanying personnel in China. Some netizens speculate that it is the authentic Yunnan cuisine recommended by the US Embassy in China to Yellen. Some netizens have also noticed that Yellen is very skilled in holding chopsticks, perhaps a Chinese food enthusiast.
