  • Illegal 'gutter oil' operation casts shadow on Kunming food safety
    

    Therefore, next time that you visit a restaurant on Wenlin Jie (and elsewhere) and go to the WC, you'll see a sign that says, "Please, only use for #1, not #2."

    And who actually reads it?!

  • ASEAN diplomats traveling to Kunming
    

    It is interesting to note that, "The group will be traveling on the R3E highway that runs 1,807 kilometers and completed a highway link between Kunming and Bangkok via northern Laos when it was finished in 2008."

    Then, states, "The group departed yesterday from Chiang Rai and crossed the Mekong River by ferry to Houey Xay, Laos. Their itinerary then calls for them to travel by bus from Houey Xay to Luang Nam Tha in far northern Laos before driving by car to Jinghong in Yunnan and flying to Kunming."

    Is there a R3E highway, or are we being subjected to propaganda?

    Now you know why there are signs in one or two restaurants on Wenlin Jie saying, "Please use the WC for #1 and NOT #2."

    @Dinkus: There are many restaurants on this Website. Nevertheless, more would be welcome. Therefore, why don't you spend a moment going to the 'Restaurants' page and placing your "amazing" finds there.

    Today, having left Kunming, I am unable to provide an actual business name, but with decades of years in publishing, I was always impressed by the quality of many "run-of-the-mill places" in Kunming. Of course, for a high-end magazine, calibrated colour levels, etc., are important, but (standard size) business cards?

    You've hit the nail on the head. 'Conscious', that's the word I was looking for - some have it, some don't.

  • Kunming > Cacaja Indian Restaurant
    印度菜菜

    This restaurant is totally overwhelmed whenever the 4th floor is opened ... especially at weekends.

    The kitchen is too small, and the kitchen staff too inexperienced. As others have said, it isn't difficult to learn that an 'appetizer' is a 'starter' and should be served before the main course.

    To explain that the kitchen is "Too busy" should mean. 'CLOSE THE TOP FLOOR!'

    The owner must recruit more staff from India, and spend more time at the restaurant (He hasn't been here here for three months).

    Poor service, certainly. Exagerated ego, probably.

    'American' breakfast with Yunnan tea ... No thank you!
    I yearn for fresh bread somewhere.

  • Kunming > Yunnan University Hotel
    云大宾馆

    I am considering a visit to Kunming soon.
    This information confuses me. There is another hotel on the opposite side of the street (opposite the university's West Gate) that is also called (as far as I remember) Yunnan University Hotel.
    It is much less expensive.
    Hotel reviews are much needed.
