Forums > Food & Drink > Consider making your own bread, it's fun.

Metro only seemed to have the fiber thing and everything else was mianbaofen. When you contrast bread flour and wheat flour, I assume you mean whole wheat as the latter and simple wheat flour as the former?

I'm actually trying to make baguettes - by hand. No space for equipment.

Hm, I went with 1tsp of yeast rather than 2tsp because of high altitude but I'm not seeing much rising going on. Also, where do you get the Western flour? I decided to go ahead with the Wheat Dietary Fiber you mentioned..

Since Metro is apparently asking for membership cards now, are there other places I can get yeast from? And also, since it is a living organism, could I just breed my own yeast once I start running out?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Trivia/Pub Quiz is back at Muyu

Muyu is hiding just before the downhill starts on Wenlin Jie, on the northern side. Enter the gate, and cross the parking lot in northwestern direction. That's where Muyu is. It should be in the listings. (木鱼 www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/32956/mu_yu_studio)

As this is a community run event, changing the date is possible. But of course it would take the next organiser to change the date and ensuring that the room is booked, GoKunming is informed and enough people show up.

sounds like a desperate attempt to boost the economy rather than fulfilling a really necessary need. Yunnan's roads are not of such poor quality. Well let's hope it works, whichever the target.

On my cycling tour through Yunnan into South-East-Asia, I've stopped regularly at Mei Mei for a bit and a lot of drinks.

The service is friendly, the location is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm over the moon about their brownies (served with ice cream) and coffee. Though I've not had everything on the menu, I was pretty impressed with the dishes I ordered.

Don't bother with Mekong café. Mei Mei is as good a place to rest, at night or in the afternoon and has the better food.

This was my first stop in Jinghong when I was cycling down south. I was hungry and in need of calories, so I ordered up the biggest burger on the menu: the imperial with added cheese.

I was sorely disappointed to see the sad pile of gooey beef and bread arrive, covered in half-melted cheese and not much bigger than two McDonald's cheeseburgers stacked on top of each other.

The best thing about this place are tourist informations, for everything else I suggest Meimei nextdoor or Wangtianshu a bit further in town.

Good noodles (well perhaps most Chinese places can pull off a Chinese dish properly). Excellent selection of beer, including my favourite Orval. Beer is chilled to the right temperature indicated on the label. Friendly and good-smiling staff. Fair-priced. Terrace in the sun.

Only complaint? Not enough matching glasses to serve those delicious beers in. See, if that's the only complaint, it's a 5-star review!

Why can't other places be as good?

If I go back, it won't be for the lazy service or the bland spaghetti bolognese. The cosiness and selection of beers could and the game aspect will be the only reasons to go back. Really some places should just try ro be what they are: cafés, not restaurants.

Though happy with the friendly service, I'm not too impressed with the food quality vs. price ratio. Also, the vietnamese coffee comes without condenses milk as it would be served in Vietnam or next door, in vintage.
