Q: Now that its summertime, what is your favorite cold dish?

As much as hot pot is satisfying in winter, I love a lot of the cold dishes here when its hot out. My personal favorite is  凉皮 and the cold cucumber salad. Any others that top your list?

I like a home made dish with fresh tofu, cucumber and carrots, then a sauce made out of olive oil, spicy sichuan chili powder, garlic and a little soy sauce.

 

Also kelp is pretty delicious.

The ice cream. You know those little ice cream stands by the side of the road? Those. China has the best ice cream I've ever tasted in my entire life.

DrMonkey:

WAT ?! You have to try ice-cream in Italy :)

Murrican ice cream bars suck. Italian ice cream sucks.

 

I just really like the ice cream bars in China... all those really nice different flavors, and all the delicious surprises inside of them.

Scandinavian:

Hulk. Italy is an f'ed up corrupt country that has a lot of crap going for it, but try going to Italy and stop anywhere. Mom and pop cafe, gas station, 5 star hotel and order a cup of coffee. It's be the best coffee you've ever had. THAT and ice cream is what Italy does best. Oh and the wines of Brunello kick butt too.

Hulk:

I don't like coffee or wine.

 

But I guess the "Italian Ice Cream" that I bought in the U.S. either wasn't legit, or it actually sucked.

Since osteoporosis is one of my big fears (alongside crossing the street in China) I would currently put White Russians as #1 dish. 

 

Summer food for me would be pretty much the same as winter foods, but with more fresh salads and other uncooked stuff.

Rice fish with pickled vegetable.  It's a weird but delicious food I stumbled on when I was in Shaanxi. The fish is not real fish, but something made from rice milk and frozen in icy water.

many years ago, I had a cold cucumber soup, made by my Mexican friend....and for many years I have tried to duplicate it...never the same it seems......  cucumbers and vinegar and a little salt is all it should be....  I think.....  but damned if I can get it right.

I would like cold ice. Not the ice you get here. I mean ice at minus 14 centigrade. I am sure the ice in the bars here is at minus 0.1 degrees. It's only just cold enough to be defined as frozen water.

Pear juice.
Beer (TBH mainly coz they raise softdrink prices), cold is hard to find.
Cold noodles (4 kuai dinner that doesn't make me sweat, and delicious to boot)
Bing fer (regional Sichuanese drink. plain jelly and molasses sugar with a straw. ice cold refrigerated, though city versions are unchilled and just add ice - lousy)

Food seem to be the only Chinese thing that most expatriates like, maybe because it's the only thing that wasn't wiped out during the cultural revolution, a remnant of the fabled Chinese civilization.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
