@@alanshannon3884 You guys should check out the vlogger called Yan on 'Little Chinese Everywhere' to see the beauty of China outside of the Tier 1 cities.

that noodle is call Lu Mian. It is unique meal in kunming only, and it is the most popular meal for local people. You guys are really tasting the real China, the normal Chinese would have eaten. I am local and i m telling you the other part of China doesn't have this, and the other Chinese will love this. You guys are really going deep into Chinese daily life. Well done! By the way, the chicken pot you had before, doesn't have particular English name for it, it is mixture of many ingredients cooked in the local way. That is supposed to eat with rice. Pour the broth onto the rice and it is delicious

But it's wheat nooodles, not rice noodles they supposed to try.

Let me summarize and analyze it for you. 1. Barbecue: The first skewer you ate was the green onion in the large intestine. I didn't want to tell you at first, but then I thought you've already eaten it, so it's okay to tell you. 2. Chicken: What you ate was braised chicken, and that chicken looks very similar to black-bone chicken. This kind of chicken is different from ordinary chicken, the bones and skin are black, and it tastes similar to ordinary chicken, but Chinese people think that this kind of chicken has higher nutritional value. Chinese people usually eat braised chicken with rice. 3. Noodles: The noodles you ate were not the kind that is unique to Yunnan. The kind that is unique to Yunnan is called cross-bridge rice noodles, which are made of rice and then boiled with very hot soup. What you ate was just ordinary braised noodles that are available all over China. 4. Oysters: The price of that oyster is indeed very cheap, at least cheaper than in Guangdong. 5. Potatoes: The boss should have added houttuynia cordata. Not everyone can accept the taste of houttuynia cordata, but people in southwestern China like to eat it very much, including Yunnan and Guizhou. 6. Mixue: You can ask the staff not to add those small particles and just give you juice.

很棒的拍攝，你們是我最喜歡的博主之一😊

The cuisine of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Xinjiang provinces in China is quite spicy, while Guangdong and Fujian provinces, as well as Jiangsu, Shanghai, and Anhui provinces, prefer light and slightly sweet dishes. Forget Beijing, it's a food desert. The three northeastern provinces are famous in China for their large quantity. The above is a machine translation, I'm not sure if you can understand it.

Alan, thanks for your honest comment on the drink, I myself also don’t like those bits & pieces in a drink. China has such a huge food culture, no one will like everything.

Greeting from Glasgow (George Square, Central station, Queen Street station, Buchanan bus station......😄)

You ate some street food, but I must be honest, it's not very authentic. This is what tourists usually eat. These things are everywhere in China, and the taste and quality are uneven. Every place in China has its own characteristics. Whether it's snacks or big meals, as long as you choose the right restaurant, you will definitely be satisfied, such as Liuzhou snail noodles, Chongqing hot pot, Guangdong morning tea, Jiangxi rice noodles, Inner Mongolia roasted whole lamb, Northeast pot-baked pork, Shanghai steamed dumplings. If you want to find something really delicious in China, just ask the locals what special dishes they have and which store they are from. You will never step on thunder if you go to eat there, or go to Dianping and Xiaohongshu to look for them. Although some of them are promoted by the store, as long as you find real reviews, you will never be disappointed if you go to eat there.

I would eat a few shells a day just to get some of the GAG (glycosamino glycan) from it. But if you eat a lot of shrimps, then it may not be as feasible with all the chewing to eat too many shells.
