Forums > Food & Drink > Kunming Chinese Food

Erkuai/ersi is not unique to Yunnan (well maybe the name is). I've had sticky chopped up rice cake cooked up elsewhere in China, and better too. Koreans do something similar too, and better also. Granted, this stuff is easier to find in Yunnan.

The chao erkuai here is just smothered in oil and sauce, so it wouldn't matter if they used great erkuai or cardboard. If I had more talent or angst or both, I could do a BillDan style rant, but alas, I'm just a foodie amateur. Bill, where do you get that inspiration!

Another minor enhancement request- in the Dashboard, I'd appreciate adding a "My Replied to Classifieds" Or maybe a confirmation email you saying replied to if that's easier.

Type in "apartments" on the GoK search function.

Then see the listings. Never tried any, so it's not a recommendation.

You could also just stay at any of the hostels I listed in your previous q&a. Upland is brand new and well located near Green Lake.

Winter sucks here. It sucks worse elsewhere in China. Since you'll be retired and not need to work, buy a winter home in Jinhong too.

If you or your wife do need to work to support yourselves, opportunities to ply any trade besides teaching English is minimal in Kunming.

If your hotel dream is based in old town Dali or Lijiang, be prepared to amass $$$$$$$$$rmb.

Uh, how do they know there aren't populations of this or other bats in guizhou, guangxi, guangdong, or hunan that harbor a bat precursor of the human sars virus? Plenty of caves and bats in all of those other provinces. Also, 1% uncertainty is a total failure to explain the transmission mechanism of sars from Yunnan bats to humans? That's a very generous 1%.

Too late for Angkor. Already consumed. Siem Riep never had much character before all the 5 stars showed up, so an even greater influx won't ruin the town. Of course, if a new airport means low cost carriers can fly there too, I'm all for it, after all, I just want a cheap seat!

Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.

If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.

Update:

It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.

Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.

You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.

The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.

Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.

Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.

They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.

Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.

Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.

Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
