I typically opt for 面条 at noodle joints, or some variation thereof. Usually I'll spring for a Muslim noodle dish as those I find most delicious. I do miss that fantastic Xinjiang place opposite Alan's old place in Beijing, though, as well as the one you took me to in your neighborhood. I wish there was something like that here.

That and the weather (mid-January). First meal I had in Yunnan was mixian at a little hole-in-the-wall just up the road from my hotel, and it was great. The rest of the local food I ate was similarly awesome. In fact, the only bad food I had that week was non-Yunnan food. Oh, and twice since then I've had 过桥米线 outside Yunnan. Once in Dalian, and it was atrocious. Once just a couple of weeks ago here in Beijing but it was alright, but paled in comparison to my memories of culinary bliss down in Yunnan.
