Q: What will be your last dish before you depart from China?
Famous beijing Duck, Kungpao Chicken, Mcdonalds??
Hell no I never eat at McD's. KFC or baijimoa (??). If I'm luck my first meal when I arrive home will be an honest-to-goodness ribeye steak!
Yeh, Beijing duck is pretty great. I think mine would be that one where you wrap a little bit of meat and some veg (I can't remember which veg, it's been so long) into a pancake and stuff it in your face (not really a description of the dish, rather than the way I eat) before hitting on one of the hostesses (and that wasn't even a requisite of the question, I think i'm pissed). But yeh, that, pancake, face, waitress dish would be mine. F***king love those waitresses man.
Here's a list of things I HAD to eat before I left Beijing when I went there for Christmas:
-Mc Donald's (They don't have the spicy chicken filet burger in France)
-Fat Burger
-Jiaozi
-Rou jia mo and liang pi
-Yoshinoya
-Me mom's cuisine
(Not that much Chinese food, now that I look back...)
And the very last dish I ate was something called "Zhen zi mian" or something similar. It's basically noodles in some corn-based porridge, mixed with some sort of Chinese onion that can only be found during winter in Beijing. It is delicious. But the onion-thingies let out a really, REALLY strong smell the next day when you perspire.
Needless to say, it was a terrible idea to eat that before taking the plane.
I don't remember the last meal I had in China, but I know what I want to eat when I get to Taiwan! I'm really hankering for some 仙草冻, especially since it will be the middle of summer when I get there. I saw on a menu that you can get it in bubble tea, which looks awesome. I'd also like some fresh jujubes (红枣), I love that fruit. I'd basically like to eat almost any Chinese food at this point. There are a lot of foods I miss.
I'm positive I will have a large Cantonese dinner at least 3 or 4 times right before I leave. I'm hoping at least one of those times is yum cha for breakfast.
Sushi.....yes real Sushi not that silly Chinese or Korean luncheon meat stuff. A restaurant in Harbin near Center Street makes the best Japanese Sushi I have ever had
I hope baozi, but in reality probably something the mother in law cooks
The answer #3 to question #3:
I can't remember, the night before I went for Korean barbecue. I think the night I left we went for beef steak, 1/4'' of tough over cooked meat about 4'' square. The first thing I had when I came home was hamburgers with a nice bakery bun, fried onions, blue cheese and mushrooms.

it don't like em, so gives em, just a guess, when you want points for a new jacket, what a guy to do?
All of the street foods!
markferrer:
because I want to have diarrhea during the whole 14 hour flight back
Ooh that's tough! A feast with all my favourite chaocai and/or malaxiangguo and/or Yunnan food and/or hot pot.
Since I'm a hippy vegetarian, probably disanxian (fried potato , green pepper and eggplant) or some other boring thing.
My last meal before I left my city was a Uyhgur feast of laghman and samsas.... my actual last meal was some dodgy dumplings at the airport.
My first meal home was an epic mother-made lasagna.
