I really enjoyed your post, especially the part about the hand made noodles in Kunming. I’m heading to Kunming in a few days and I would love to find a noodle place like that. Do you remember what part of town it was in or the name of the place?

elizabeth – You luck gal! Living in China must’ve been grand. I like reading Chinese English literally—it’s so much funnier!

the banner outside the bear store reads literally:
“love a panda, and the pandas will give you more love”
less literally, i think it means love pandas and they’ll love you back!

love your blog – the photos of china are making me nostalgic for all the things i ate when i lived there..

Anh - I assure you that I will eat my heart out in Beijing. Hopefully you’ll do the same during your upcoming visit! Mmm, Peking duck!

Su Lin – The Astronomer and I are going back to the handmade noodle joint tonight. I plan on making a video of his masterful techniques. Maybe it will help your home preparations

Foodhoe - There’s just SO much food here that after three full days of eating, I feel like we still haven’t scratched the surface. This country really is a culinary adventure.

Cousin- I love the variety of foods served on a stick too! Most countries seem to just stick meat, but here they add tofu and veggies to the mix which I really appreciate! Kunming seems to be the land of rice noodles. I promise to eat mi and dim sum before this run is over.

Boots - That goat cheese is TOTALLY worth freaking out over! There are some recipes on the ‘net, I think I’ll have to try making it when I return home because I can’t imagine life without it

lirelou - I highly recommend a detour through Kunming! The food is awesome, the people are nice and the pace of life just feels right.

Great post! Was up in Lao Cai two years ago with a gaggle of the wife’s family. Unfortunately, we could not get a re-entry permit within a day, so they refused to cross over into Heiku without us. They took lots of pictures of the border, to show the folks back home in Tam Vu (out of Can Tho), but were more interested in the Chinese goods in Lao Cai’s central market. Your post have given me a great idea for a trip up to Kunming. They didn’t particularly care for Hanoi food, but I’ll bet they find something of interest in Kunming. I’ve greatly enjoyed your blog, so hopefully you’ll be back.

DOOD! That’s my kind of breakfast, morning snack, lunch, early afternoon snack, dinner, and late night snack. I can’t show this post to my husband for fear he’ll blow the rest of our savings on tix to Kunming. Wow. I’m freaking out about the goat cheese, btw…

I like how the Chinese like to put their food on a stick.

Nhu, where’s the mi? You should try to find some panned fried noodles and dim sum.

Sigh…now I’m craving noodles. But however hard I try, those I make at home never match up to the street lovelies…
