The lump of meat on a spit was bought from a wholesaler in Lijiang, I was told. The two Turks who actually ran the stand moved to BJ, along with their roaster.

Why not try Xi'an rou jia mou? I've bought it near Cai Da (Finance & Econ. U.) and SW Forestry College? More like a sloppy joe than a standard US burger, but still good.

Otherwise, none of you seem to like White Castles? Small meat patties cooked atop onions?

For sort of Turkish food, the Tian Shan (Xinjiang) restaurant, where Bai Yun Lu and Bai Long Jie meet, always used to be good. Turkish music videos. From the Shi Fan Da Xue bus stop, take bus #55 going north, and get off a few steps from the place.

"I've often wondered why the outdoor areas of Wen Hua Xiang can't have a few tables and chairs so people could sit outside like in most cities that encourage sidewalk cafes. "

Outdoor tables were abolished 5-6 years ago, after complaints from retired professors living upstairs. Too much drunken shouting late at night, it seems.

I wish the Cheng Guan would go away and the street vendors were allowed to stay. If they hinder traffic, well, I wish 90% of the cars would go away, too.

In the 1870s, the city was Yun Nan Fu but it was in the county of Kunming. So Emil Rocher, La province chinoise de Yunnan (Paris, 1880). Caravan Press (connected with Mandarin Bookstore) will publish an English translation soon, by the way.

The beer is good. The food, OK, if you're dying for something Western. Food service is better in the daytime, mamahuhu in the night time.

I haven't stayed in their guesthouse, but I'll guess it's noisy in the night times.

Prague Cafe in Bei Chen Walking Street is Prague III.

There are other branches in Wen Lin Jie and in Lijiang.

I've been a long time customer of the Wen Lin branch.

Both Kunming branches are pleasant places to meet and chat with friends.

The food may not be the cheapest, but the cheapest would be from the street vendors.

I meet and drink coffee with friends at the Wen Lin PC several times weekly, especially since the Yun Joy Cafe is no more.

I've been drinking Beer Lao and coffee here, off and on for some years.

It's always a pleasant place to relax. The food is good as well. Close to cheap hotels and bike rental on Manting Lu, too.
