I get it. I agree, there isn't literally only, exclusively mixian. And actually there are even a few very good mixian joints.
My point was, that the food variety, is very limited, for a place with abundant amounts of available fresh vegetables and produce. It should offer more, than what is in the snack shops these day.
The Kunming 7/11 -style convenience store has half liter, Lao blonde for 7.5 or 8.5 RMB if you need convenience over price.
I think Walmart and Carrefour also have half liters and small black lager in their shelves. But dunno about the price.
I'll let you know, after my next shopping spree.
May I asked, what road you live at?
I know that delicacy road in the West, which has the most Kunmng variety of snacks, =BBQ, stewed starch stuff, and hot plate. Same goes for the one, under the bridge of panlong river at yuantong shan.
They have a lot of shops offering the same stuff, over and over again. BBQ, stewed starch and hot plate, maybe a few deep fried bugs, but that's about it.
But that is no street food, but that's what I mean it's; fried on the hot plate, bbq or boiled starch stuff,and it's all the same boring Kunming snack stuff.
Plus they put a lot of salt and msg, on those roasted thingies, e.g. look at the squid, or the veggies. None of those options you offered are healthy.
They brush an oil vinegar mixture on those things.
But o.k. I hear your Kunming has 4 snack options, that you can find all over China, except the starch and bean flour things. And "sincerely unfortunately' none of them are healthy. Most of the things you mentioned are for the BBQ.
Last questions;
What is the Dai-food snack, they offer?
What are all sorts of cooked pork?
@mickey
What else have you got on your street?
BBQ, noodle/mixian wonton, fried stinky stuff [tofu]...? What other street-food is available? Btw, non are healthy, non are Kunming, or even Yunnan, so they are no different to subway, with the exception that subway is healthy.
No results found.
Sorry this probably belongs into the forum section...But just to clarify and thanks to overrated reviews I went to CC with high expectations to get some delicacies, I wanted to surprise my wife with a delicacy and there was absolutely nothing that Parkson, Metro or Carrefour don't have.I don't like Chorizo so there has to be more than just that to make me give 5 stars.Plus I already gave them 3 stars, for the very positive things I experienced.There are no products that other shops don't offer, except if their products are home made but I didn't see any labels stating it's organic or home made.For the cold cuts I found as well as the cheeses are all (or most) available at other stores.I didn't know that they make sandwiches and I will give that a try especially knowing that Sandra is involved in the making which usually leads to a yummy tummy.But again as delicacy shop it's very unimpressive and as stated before I believe it will get better. So I am not bashing it but trying to help the owners to give some ideas not just applause because I like Sandra's food...which I do.So I recommend to give realistic reviews. 5 stars just because you like one item there will just disappoint potential CC patrons that are not going for Sandwiches or Chorizo.It's a shop with tons of potential and I will come back to try the Sandwich and see what else they will have in future. But giving more than 3 stars for what I saw wouldn't be fair.
I went there and all the fake Ikea (furniture) items were almost twice as much as the originals at Ikea. The fixing guys are good but as mentioned above at least need a week or two to drill 4 holes in the wall.
The little knick knacks are ok and reasonably priced. For real furniture, I wouldn't buy there. Better and cheaper options available. But good for cheap and nice decorations and accessories.
I practiced there for a few weeks but unforntunately I had to stop, due to relocation.
It's a good school but what I didn't like was the Martial Arts blend between traditional kungfu and modern wushu, similar to the Henan one.
But I still like it for the good exercise, staff and classmates.
I am not sure if there are actually some real kungfu monks, so if you are looking for the full martial package, you might get disappointed, as almost anywhere in China.
Be aware that practice is not in the temple but in a kungfu school one block away
That said, it is in my opinion the best choice in Kunming to practice the closest to real martial arts (besides taiji). And it's very reasonably priced.
Anning refinery fined for violation of national environmental laws
发布者31000 US$, Wow, that's a lot of money.
I hope they will manage to keep operation after a massive financial blow, like this.
I'm not concerned about the environmental impact of the plant, the mayor said he will look into it. So nothing, to be concerned about.
Kunming to invest in public electric car fleet
发布者E-cars should be banned, especially in China where most of the power is produced with coal. The main problem of the climate change, carbo-footprint discussion.
Unfortunately no emission, doesn't mean they are clean. Electric cars only pollute other elements.
At the moment e-cars are toys and due to the lack of range, loss of storage capacity and the dirty production of those cars and some of their components.
So unless, the technology advances dramatically, in a very short time and better storage capacity is available, and the production of battery components cleaner and away from, exploiting workers in poor countries and poisoning their water sources. It's just a problem shift, if not making things worse.
They will continue to be just, feel-good cars, but not helping the effort at all.
The future of the car and the cleanest way, is hydrogen cars and hybrids. Although for now, the production of hydrogen is still complicated, and not as clean as it could be, in a few years it will be.
If you want to help, there are investment platforms helping to put money in gas station networks. The main reason, we don't see more of them. The industry is ready, they fixed most of the hiccups. The only thing they need for the customer is a solid refueling stations network.
I also want less cars in the city and certainly smaller vehicles would help. So, for now hybrids are the best solution.
Until the power is produced emission free and the batteries getting better, E-cars are useless and more expensive than a good, efficient and reliable hybrid.
Megatrudge 2014: 400 kilometers across the Gobi
发布者Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's SuperPavel.
What is an "elite" "semi" professional runner. Are you professional or amateur, and where are you elite?
You are definitely a pro in being a condescending, arrogant, 'have-it-all-figured-out'-ism
.
Have you actually read your own articles.
e.g. 'The Turtle Race'
-making fun of people unprepared.
-Leader by default, of course!!! If not Pavel, who else could?
-Slinging people up and down the hills because they don't even know how to push their bikes.
-Saving a girl's life, lone wolf style, of course!
... back to the current Gobi march
If you are a long distance runner you would actually know how to take care of your feet during a race, you could actually finish an Ultra and some day actually become a pro. So maybe that's where the master splits from the novice.
And you wouldn't have to make fun of people that actually prepare proper gear before a 400km race through a desert.
And for this article:
-Dashing off with shoes tight together with dental floss. Swiss cheese socks, I guess next time you will just run with a bikini and flip flops to show those fools how it is done properly.
-You of course, being the only one knowing what he is doing including reading a GPS.
-Running 27hours straight while mocking Chinese runners for not pacing themselves...!
- Leading the flock by superiority. Leading everyone through the dark Gobi night, scaring other runners, pretending to be a wolf!!!
-Whining about ridiculous behaviour, whilst excelling at such, yourself. Plus, putting others in danger?
-You don't care about this Chinese kid taking advantage of your excellence (by the way, it's a race that's what people do in races)...until that guy is close to a TV camera??...Roooight!
And isn't that ridiculous if you don't want to give him his moment in the limelight since he overtook you. Isn't that also pretty bad sportsmanship?
-And then in the end you have to give up because you are too cool to get your feet the proper gear and treatment, due to your philosophy.
-Making fun of other participant's gear and equipment while you actually can't even finish the race.
-Making fun of people whom actually who prepared.
In my humble opinion I think you are Toropov-ing your article a lot. Should be a new word for exaggerating.
To stay faithful to your [questionable] philosophy. The stuff you need for such a race, you rarely win in a race, because it's cheap, easy to get, very easy to carry, and looks too trivial for a prize.
Pavel your stories could be great fun to read, if you would take in a little bit of humility and maybe some respect for others.
And of course if you'd stop getting off about yourself we would find out how others saw and experienced the race.
Please don't forget the times when you started and learned from others, not knowing what you were doing? How would you have reacted to an article of this kind.
So far you sound like a joke to me.
That said, ...respect for trying the Gobi and the other races.
Cheers,
A former 'elite-semi-pro runner' and paratrooper {= the "marchalots"}.
Official proposes reopening Wujiaba Airport
发布者it wouldn't be that weird.
most big cities have 2 or more airports. so it wouldn't be that crazy to consider.
plus most foreign airlines don't even bother considering kunming for specifically the crappy kmg airport. e.g. for it's extraorbitant landing and processing fees, terrible management and for christsake not even having an updated ILS.
a runway in wujiabao would be welcomed at least by me. closer to the city less bad weather and less hassle.
but there is no way that some rich real estate developer will let go of his multi billion RMB project. although i still hope they reopen even if just with one small terminal for cheap carriers.
the way changshui is run it will mainly stay provincial anyway since other international airlines will avoid kmg. coz they got a great and working airport in chengdu. from there they could just code share with local airlines.saves trouble and money.
another chinese success story how to f*** up a whole airport by idiots making idiot decisions. how hard could it be to choose a location for an airport?
Yunnan air routes a hot commodity
发布者Yeah a European directflight would be fantastic, sweet!
But as far as I know (I was told) and spoiler alert....the landing, processing and fuel fees are so gigantic in Yunnan, (of course primarily for foreign airlines) that this guy told me the ticket price would be ridiculously high, after the promotion period.
He estimated that if the airport fees won't be lowered it would still make more sense financially to fly through other 'real' hubs.
Hopefully this stupid and untrue philosophy of, 'charge high - gain high profit' will change someday so that we get the perks of a normalized market. Until then I try to not use the Changshui airport, it's China's worst airport by fay, anyway.
