Thanks for everyone coming last night, that was a lot of fun - I believe Muyu was also happy with the amount of people that turned up on such a cold and rainy day!
Since the whole place was packed, we'd like to ask to come exactly at 8 pm if you want to participate. It makes it easier to arrange seating for everyone without disturbing the progress of the quiz, and you can avoid your teams getting too big.
A lot of markets carry it and for 20 RMB I get a chunk that lasts me the entire week. Mine, unlike Barbara's, didn't come sealed though.
Aside from the market on 红山南, the markets at 北京路×圆通街 and in the art district off 滇缅大道 are places where I've most definitely seen it. Also would be surprised if it can't be found in the market on 螺蜂街×华山东路.
yankee, no the plumber is property of sinoland real estate services and I put him back nicely where I found him. I can PM you his number though. Use with care and don't mention me :)
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!
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.
