Also, I get food poisoning much more in China than I do anywhere else on the planet. From the conversations, I've had, most foreigners get food poisoned here once or twice a year minimum. Avoiding food that tastes bad seems like a logical choice, but that's always not always the case.

In Kunming I do tend to end up eating oil, greasy, overly spicy, and sometimes bad food. Sure it's cause I paid for it, cause I'm hungry, cause I don't want order and wait again, and cause sometimes I've come to accept some of the swill the locals call food, and they eat it all fine. (mini billdan rant).

I will admit, in the case of the mushrooms, they were off, but not so bad you would spit them out. They were not so rancid or so foul I couldn't swallow them. And I agree my advice will not ferret out all poisonous mushrooms. It's just a personal anecdote I always use for myself now, especially regarding cooked mushrooms, since the projectile vomit I had made a very distinct memory.

I've asked for dabao at business lunches. Though, I still felt a little shame and pushed it off on my being a Westerner. The food tasted great later on at home though.

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.
