I don't mind your general defend China vagueness and ambiguity in useless mixian debates or politics threads, but this is about a child with a life threatening nut allergy.
So Alien, which of the local cooking oil brands can you guarantee weren't cross contaminated by being processed in the same strorage, milling, and packaging area as peanut, soy, or walnuts? And are you ready to bet a child's trip to the hospital on it?
DO NOT USE THE LOCAL COOKING OIL. Yes, we have local corn, rapeseed, and canola oils, but there will be no regards as to whether they processed soy or peanuts on the same line.
We have plenty of Western owned cafes and restaurants whom might be able to cater to you. BUT you'd have to be sure the owners are in, as again, local staff just wouldn't be able to keep in mind the 100% no cross contamination with nuts or blended oil. As to cooking, you can buy fresh produce and meat in local markets. I would go to Carrefour and try to find an imported olive oil you trust. Or bring your own cooking oil.
This isn't like the West. Very few things are labeled allergy sensitive and even if they are, you'd be crazy to trust Chinese manufacturers to make anything gluten or peanut/nut free that wasn't cross processed somewhere which had gluten or nuts. As to restaurants, they sometimes don't even get an order to make a dish vegetarian correctly, so not sure I'd bet a child's life on the cook or oils here. Better bring a few epipens. There is very little awareness about peanut allergy, so noone will take any amount of regards to safety about cross contamination with nuts or blended peanut cooking oil.
Blow a months salary on seafood before leaving Fuzhou. Other than that, Kunming is a nicer city and climate. No shortage of unis in this town or the nearby new town, so really doubt you can't find a placement.
No results found.
Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
Sichuan water release devastates parts of northwest Yunnan
发布者I rode across that bridge. It's going to be a pain to rebuild since it's isolated from any other infrastructure. Also, pretty sure there isn't a detour besides backtracking many hours.
