METRO Cash and Carry is a German-owned "supercenter" that offers wholesale/bulk goods, including many western products.  Chinese customers need to own a business to become a member, but foreigners need only a passport to gain the privilege to shop at METRO.  Credit cards are not accepted at METRO - cash only. 
 

Take bus no 96 east on Yi Er Yi Da Jie, which will become Beijing Lu Extension.  When you pass the Ford dealership on your right, get off at the next stop.  Metro is located behind the KTV on your right hand side.  A taxi to and from the city center should cost about 10-15 RMB.  It usually makes sense to take a taxi home.

This restaurant, located near Yunnan University, may be hidden on a little side street, but that does not deter people from coming in droves to enjoy this special treat.  Every single night there is a line of hungry customers waiting outside the restaurant in order to savor the spicy crab dry hotpot.  By arriving around 7 pm, smaller groups of 4 or less can expect to wait an hour to get seated.  There are more tables that accommodate larger groups, thus they get seated faster (larger groups also obviously earn the restaurant more money).  The restaurant is open later than most Chinese restaurants in Kunming - parties may be seated up until about 10 pm (possibly later on the weekends).  If you enjoy crab and hot spice, you are sure to enjoy this Kunming restaurant.

Feng Zhu Jie is a side street that parallels Jianshi Lu and Dong Feng Xi Lu.  Walk west along Wenlin Jie. After one block past the cinema one block turn left on Feng Zhu Jie and it is the second driveway on the left.  If you go around dinner time, you cannot miss the crowd of people waiting outside.

The French Café serves both western and Chinese food, including a list of French options that cannot be found elsewhere in Kunming.  However, the food is not all that spectacular, and the service could easily improve.  There are better options in Kunming when it comes to cafes, but when those options tire, a sandwich or a crepe at French Café is not a bad idea.  The French Café also offers free wi-fi internet to customers and is a popular spot to hang out and have a beer or two in the evenings.

French Café is located on Wenlin Jie just east of Wenhua Xiang near Yunnan University.  Bus number 1 will get you pretty close if you get off at Wenlin Dao.
