Q: Street food: Do you wish your country’s popular street food was available in China ?

Sale of street food is one of the common cultures of all countries. Love it or hate it, but it will be (almost) everywhere.

 

Do you wish your country’s popular street food was available in China ?

 

And Chinese street food kiosks/vendors in your country ?

Yes, meat pies !

 

They can be bought here. I know a guy who found some Aussie brand pies online and bought a shitload. Had one, it was great.

UK streetfood?

 

Over or under cooked hotdogs served on a stale bread roll? No thanks!

 

Though at least in the Uk any mobile food stalls need to have food safety certificates issued by the local government inspectors, unlike here where any old Zhou can rock up and sell rat meat kuo rou.

Shining_brow:

Of course they'd need to have the H&S certificates here... all you have to do is pay for them!

 

And, since it's western food, they can charge more for them (cos, you know how much more unsafe western food is!)

I probably tend to appear to favour anything Scandinavian over anything else from the world, but if there is one thing the frozen wonderland of Scandinavia doesn't do well, it is street food, sure there are awesome food to be eaten, but the joy mostly disappear in sub zero temperatures. Also, I am such a BaoZi fan that I would always pick that over anything else. 

DaphneNJ:

I spent the middle school years in Fairbanks, Alaska. When my parents were on an "let's experience local culture" kick, they  made me try akutaq  AKA "Eskimo ice cream." It was whale blubber and reindeer fat whipped with wild berries. I'm not sure joy would be the right word to describe it, though it did work with the weather. Do you have anything like that in Scandinavia?

Scandinavian:

I have the base opinion that all cultures food are valuable. And if done correctly will be tasty.... but man does it take a lot of beers to wash away the taste of whale blubber. North-West Scandinavia aka Faeroe Islands are crazy about that, and rotting sheeps heads and ... well those people are sick.

Food trucks are becoming trendy here. There's one that sells hoagies (long sandwiches) with names like Phat Lady, Heart Stopper etc. They are filled with French fries (chips) and deep fried mozzarella sticks, plus fried eggs, bacon, steak and other greasy stuff. You probably need to be drunk or hungover to appreciate this kind of food. I'm not sure Chinese people would like them. My husband calls them belly bombers. 

 

I think  real Chinese street food would do well here, especially jianbing and roujiamo. But you only see those in New York, San Francisco etc. The food trucks here that sell Chinese food just have the same old boring items as in a typical American style Chinese restaurant: egg rolls, lo mein, fried rice. I wish they'd think outside the box a little.  There's a Korean taco truck which does very well. People are ready to try new things.

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
