the food_ part one

---

...this post is published mostly cause I promised to my super great coworkers back home, to make my point of how different the real chinese food really is... cause many times, when we go out for lunch to a local chinese guy....I might complain...
...so there...I sacrified for you guys, and made a show of myself many times in restaurants here, by taking photos of just ordinary food! Yea...imagine you're in a local home food restaurant and a person starts to take photos of some mashed potatoes!En fajn zabeljen prazen krompir, na primer! Yes! That was me sometimes here in China!

From now on...I'll just enjoy the food, no cameras anymore....untill I meet with my Chef friend! Then hopefully...another post on some cooking follows. Unless something drastic and supertasty happens on the way before that!

There's a lot of special dishes that I left out, the most important being the typical Kunming 'over the bridge' noodles. I'm sorry about that! Just google it!
