Q: Favourite winter food?

Winter is coming ( i know it's a bit premature) and even though I hate the cold, I love eating comfort food like hot pot, Gamjatang korean soup, xinjiang lamb stew etc. What's your favourite winter food?

Strawberry tanghulu (toffee coated strawberries on a stick). It's my favourite Chinese food in Winter, just like it is in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

Double Whopper

We have found a couple of decent hop pot places, soup is actually soup, and the stuff you get to throw in seems like it is up to spec, now we just need to get rid of the forced way that things must always go, first meat, then some vegetables. Why not just a bit of both all the time.

Almost any kind of soup. Chili is amazing. I also love ham and bean soup, with bread dumplings. Pheasant and cream of mushroom is amazing.  I am from Iowa. So we hunt pheasant. When you eat it, it's after being out in the field when its decently cold, so its a great food for warming up.

Hotpot, or if I'm cooking at home I like a roast with gravy and all the trimmings, or chilli.

I think my favourite Western food would have to be pea soup, but my favourite Chinese winter soup is definitely Wonton Soup. Nommmmm.

Baked Mac n' Cheese. I can't find the ingredients to make it (the supermarkets where I am only carry processed cheese), so I make it when I go back to the U.S. in the summer. It's good all year round, but especially on a cold winter day. Also, Welsh Rarebit is the perfect winter food.

A nice, big bowl of slow-cooked oatmeal (with added cocoa powder). A warm breakfast, and a taste of home (for added nostalgia, I have Ninja Turtles on the TV. Well, on my computer, but I can watch on the TV).

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
