Q: What's the best sandwhich you have had in China?

Did you have it in a restaurant (wahhhhhaaaa...) or did you make it yourself.

If you made it yourself....what could you find here to make it good?

 

I am not talking subway.

 

I need pointers.

Subway is best known, and got it's start from 'submarine' type sandwiches. Maybe not the best sandwich in the world, but pretty darn good, and a nice change if u begin to suffer from Burger-Burnout.  angel

So far, the best I could muster was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Oh, and I used toasted bread, haha.  Haven't really found anything resembling deli meats or cheeses at the local supermarket

I couldn't find any real cheese, so I made grilled cheese sandwiches with ketchup to dip in for my GF. I always had Skippy peanut butter sandwiches. I made her a peanut butter and banana sandwich which she liked.

Are you counting girl sandwiches? Cause they weren't very good.

Use the "cling" variety. Better than Saran-wrap!

There is that Paris themed bakery chain here in Beijing. They have club sandwich that is international competitive. Wait, or I have been here for too long.

I also think one of the greatest things we miss out when here is a real sandwich. It is lost on them what a sandwich really is.

 

If we were too do the same to one of their common dishes. we would just deep fry some rice and think that is what fried rice is. But no, we know its not

 

They dont get the ingredients right, or the proportions. Dont understand that bread is a staple and doesnt need a glaze of sugar.

 

I have had a couple beers, so i will go one step further to extrapolate. Chinese think their food is the best because its like culinary fengshui. But its not. Its good, but its nothing special.

 

To build a sandwich is like a zen rock garden. you can do it any which way, but what is right is inner peace (ie what hits the spot).

 

Viva la Sandwich!!!

Reading this post makes me realize how happy am I for working in a Sheraton. Nothing like entering in the cold kitchen and making your own sandwich.

Something I made myself, and quite simple: peanut butter, bananas, and honey. Of course, the bread was questionable, but passable.

After having tasted lots of truly awful sandwiches here in Beijing last month I finally stumbled upon a French style bakery chain(that actually comes from Korea) called "Tous les Jours" 

 

Those guys really did their homework on how a European bakery should be and everything from the sandwiches to the pastries are delicious!  You can google them and find the store that is closest to you. 

 

Also the StarBucks sandwiches are ok

There is a sandwich shop in Suzhou that is owned by an American expat. It is called Rick's Deli. It has great French bread and imported European cold cuts and cheese. A sandwich and coke is 20 RMB, but I always go double meat.

Best sandwich I tried was here in Kunming. A restaurant owned by a French expat. Chicken and cheese baguette. The bacon and cream cheese panini was pretty good too

Make a good roast beef sandwich at home. But a good sized piece of meat and an oven.

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
