You can also buy the cheap ones in the bird & flower market near Zhengyi Fashion Mall. They aren't good, but they will do the job.

@gaoxing....

Wow, has it really been four years since you burned your way across GoKunming. I remember your rants about starving to death because of the food. Those were some funny rants. Welcome back to Asia.

I have the best one ever. Two nights ago, I was on the 4th floor of the building over the Pizza Hut & Starbucks at Nanya, and there was a sign for a coffee company up there. The sign was advertising a special "Cat Shit Coffee gift box".

I don't know the date, but it is true. BK is coming to KMG. There are two locations. There is one downtown in the Golden Eagle mall on the 3rd or 4th floor above H&M, and a buddy of mine said there was one opening in the mall across from Carrefour on Beijing Rd. I personally saw the one in the Golden Eagle mall. I looked inside the door, and the counter was mostly constructed, and workers were working on the rest of the restaurant.

@Encrypted "Healthiest in the world" please give me a break. I won't argue with you that BK is unhealthy because it is, but it isn't any less unhealthy as smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day while eating pieces of pig fat swimming in pig lard. China has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the world, and it has nothing at all to do with BK.

As I consider the increase of diabetes in China there is only one clear reason. If fast food was the culprit, the USA would certainly have more than 11.6% of its population diagnosed with diabetes. More and more Chinese are eating KFC, Pizza Hut, and McDonalds; however, the amount of people consuming food from these establishments is still a very small percent compared to the entire population. Therefore, you can probably blame some of the obesity problem on these joints; however, you can't blame the rapid increase of diabetes on them.

Instead, it is clear to me that alcohol a tobacco use is the clear reason there has been a rapid increase of diabetes in China. China has more smokers than any other country in the world—by a long shot. Americans eat way more fast food than Chinese, but tobacco in the USA is a fragment of what is used in China. Unlike those who consume fast food in China, citizens from all socioeconomic statuses smoke in China. Smoking is the common link.

My wife and I have been a to Magiano's twice in the past few months, and we have been super pleased both times.

Last night, we ordered pizza (it came with freshly graded parmesan cheese), pasta, & a risotto dish. All three were excellent. Besides great food, we were served freshly baked bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for free. To top it off, the owner brought us a small piece of American ribeye to taste for free.

The wait staff was very attentive, and every time my water glass was empty, they were over to our table in just a few seconds to fill it.

We were able to eat for a little more than 200rmb. This might sound expensive to some; however, I thought it was a great deal considering we got bread and three dishes. We will certainly be giving them our business again.

I am not familiar with Hongshan Dong Lu. What area of town is this, and what is it near.

My wife and I would love to come try your restaurant.
