Worm Dishes Favored by Beijing White-collar Girls

Worm dishes served in the Yunnan-style restaurants are quite popular lately among white-collar girls in the Chinese capital city Beijing. It is said that every week customers eat nearly fifty kilograms of insects, which are carried here by air from Yunnan, a province bordering with Vietnam. These special dishes contain nutritional components such as protein, amino acids, vitamins and fatty acids, but may not be healthy since the dishes are often fried.
