The stupidest way to imagine that you are winning an argument is to attack the person who is making it.
@Ifoundthe tuna: thanks for a fairly straight answer. So there are things you like about living in Kunming. So do I, on balance. And there are things that annoy me, as there are everywhere - the behaviour of the chengguan being one. And I have no problem with people bringing these things up. I just very seriously think that a lot of the comments here - everything is rotten etc. - are way, way over the top, and such overthetop comments are insulting, here or anywhere.
Turning discussions to insults of particular people, and having this go on and on and on, is really, really, really boring.
I make no pretensions as to being any kind of connesiour - I can't even seem to spell it tonight - but I can drink the Great Wall at RMB35, in reasonably small doses. I'm not pretending it's really good...but what I really can't handle is the sweet crap.
On yangrou in Kunming: my guess is that a lot of it is goat, and not particularly good goat meat either. In Gansu and xinjiang, on the other hand, the yangrou is REALLY good. However, their is good yangrou - mutton, lamb, from sheep - but you need to know where to find it. Street yangrou kebabs here is okay, but on average you can do better in the northwest - not surprising.
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
