Does anyone know where to find REAL mayonnaise here? I'm looking for hellmans or something, not that keypie stuff they have.

Thank you :-)

Metro?

Wicker Basket in Bei Chen - - also Paul's

Metro used to carry Hellmans but only carries Keypie now. I think the same is true for Pauls. I think Tao Bao might be your only option other than buying online in the US and having it shipped here.

Your best bet is to make fresh mayo yourself. Even Hellmans is awful in comparison and you can all the ingredients in Kunming:

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

1 large egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 cup oil, peanut or corn
1 to 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Preparation:

Place everything but the oil and lemon juice in the blender or processor container. Process 5 seconds in the blender; 15 seconds in the processor. With the motor running, add the oil, first in a drizzle, then in a thin, steady stream. When all the oil has been added, stop the motor and taste. Add lemon juice to your taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin with hot water or lemon juice. If too thin, process a little longer.

Yield: 1-1/4 cups

I've never tried making it before, thats a good idea.
