Forums > Food & Drink > suggestion on redwine

tigertiger, don't bother answering. mmkunmingteacher's rose colored glasses are so ingrained, that he thinks he is eating lamb when he gets Kunming street meat. Even if he bothered to try a small shop wine and finds out it tastes like fortified grape juice, he'll probably go "awesome, China has great cheap red wine." Seriously, anyone who though Kunming street meat is lamb or a red wine from a small dumpy grocery shop in China is not going to be fortified grape juice probably has no tastebuds or taste.

Sadly thanks to all the knifing attacks that makes the headlines now, we get copy cats. Couple of years ago, it was rampages during school pickup times. Now we have traffic jams and cops at every school during pickups.

Tried the 1st location mmkunmingteacher mentioned a while back. Overated. Just oily pressure fried duck. But the hype is there; long ass line and sells out by 5pm. No sauce or rice wraps came with it either, not that it would of made it taste better. But the smell is very good.

@Peter99

Yeah I agree, Western food availability is quite good given Kunming is a tier 2 city. It honestly adds to the livability of this city. Like most of the expats, I probably eat it only a couple of times a month, but knowing the options are there is nice. As they say, variety is the spice of life.

This is becoming a major draw for locals, nearing the crowds of the auto fair. Traffic around the area was a nightmare though. Also, this fair was open to public (ticket 30rmb).

@bluppfisk

That is if you are lucky and the guard station is off eating lunch or break. Or you can show up at night. Last time I went through on the east entrance, the guards chased me down in a minivan and demanded I pay the 50rmb (now 65) entrance ticket, even though I was just planning on passing through.

No guards care if you are leaving TGL at either entrance, but if you weren't checked entering, then that's good luck.

Yet another 15rmb increase. Though Tiger Leaping is one of the fees I think is well worth it.

The scenery on the East Ring that Geogramatt mentioned is wonderful. You'll need raingear cause your riding with the clouds at one point. Bit spartan on services, so bring some energy bars and extra bottle of water. If your in good shape, you can make the halfway point of 白水台 in a day by bike.

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.
