I just went through and read billdan's reviews....I will admit that the Mexican one is a little ridiculous ..but even that one i agree with(I have given them 3 times to put something worthwhile on a plate,did not happen) The sad truth is the Kunming food situation is weak! Not to say that there is not good stuff( some amazing stuff!!). The local food is dirty, to the point where i am scared to eat at local spots not tried or recommended by someone who knows..And I love ..I mean LOVE street food and Chinese food in general. The western food here is lackluster at best...aside from a couple places doing a couple things right...its a sad showing for a city of this size with the food culture and history we have here... Honestly, I think it comes down to laziness from both parties! Local and expat owned alike...The good news is the market is wide open for someone to do some good work here and blow us away!
Man ..I would do dirty nasty things for a real deal kebab!! There is a place in Seattle that i have dreams about ! Also real Mexican!!! I want to pour salsa all over myself ...There is this cafe in mexico city I dream about too, More like nightmares for this one!! Like every other night!!
Yeah, I have driven around there a few times and have been stopped every time (once or twice) ...but once they see i am a foreigner, all they want to talk about is where i am from and how i have a car(never check my ID or anything). all the time there are really friendly and curious. But we(wife and me) have talked about what they are looking for...I think its drugs(heroin would be my guess), but cant be sure, they seem to wave everybody through ....Maybe they just search if they get a tip??
I am from Seattle and Lake Union(downtown) used to get all the untreated sewage from the city...during the 70s people started to realize that the lake was nasty...they stopped the flow of poo and stuff soon after, But it wasn't till the 90s that it was ok to swim again. This lake is WAY bigger than Lake Union! if it took 20-30 years for the LU to get better, than it will take longer than 1-5 years for Dianchi (unfortunately)
I am glad they are doing it for sure!! But don't get to excited.
This is a place where i was let down ...While the price is great ...even super cheap on the half price day...The pizza itself was like something you would get at a 7-11. While drunk in a last ditch effort to soak up some booze before you pass out. The cheese was the main offender! Service was friendly if not helpful...really was not going to come from behind the counter unless He really had to!
Oreillys is another place i have enjoyed. Prices are fair and the food is tasty! Burger was legit!! fish and chips not bad either. Guy that runs the place seems like a nice dude. ....Only thing that I would say was not on point is the environment.The bar itself looks awesome (maybe even a little too clean). What i mean is, You walk into the bar and all the staff (like 5+) are just standing there starring into space. In the corner there is like an owners crew speaking in french. Our waiter asked us if the food was good like 5 times.hahahah One of these things would not matter but all together makes a bizarre atmosphere. All in all will be back for sure..
A little bored during the holiday...So I feel like reviewing the spots i have ate at so far......First the good, Sals is great! Everything I have had was nice. I have read on this site that people think it is expensive ...I am not one of them. Prices are totally fair for what you get! Not to mention IPA, reason enuff for me to hang out. Also the staff is super nice ...the other day i saw some drunken girl throw a cocktail at the staff ..they just cleaned it up and brought us new drinks(people sitting next to her)..much nicer then I would have been!! hahahah
