Forums > Living in Kunming > Do you cook in Kunming? What do you cook?

I feel uninspired when I cook in China. It's just fried rice, dumplings or noodles. I'm too scared to buy meat—- and I'm more of a free-range person—- hence a move to a vegetarian lifestyle now... I'd eat meat if it was safe and 'happy meat'. But I hear bad things.

I have no (real) oven, and a lack of variety at the supermarket has got me really uninspired.

No more cakes, cookies, lasagna, Shepherd's pie, pasta with cheese, roast chicken w gravy...

There has got to be a way. Any suggestions? I love cooking.

By the way, I understand in China you can't drink tap water... (when I first arrived I drank it and didn't die...) but—- is it safe in KM to just boil it for cooking? I assume so. Still a bit scared of what I eat here sometimes :s -(Horror stories)-

Forums > Living in Kunming > Buying plants in Kunming?

I would love to start an amazing tropical garden... orchids and whatever other amazing plants I can find. Maybe an indoor hanging garden wall?

Any idea where I can find them? Is there a garden city?

I currently live in phone city... Wuhua by Tuodong Stadium. Thank you!

Forums > Food & Drink > A good hamburger?

Egg and beetroot in the burger is kiwi style!!! That's how we do burgers! Main man there is from grey lynn in auckland bro, a real kiwi, he knows his stuff :) Americans just have so boring ones, quite plain I think.

Anyway, every one has different tastes, I'm used to a big juicy kiwi burger, try it if u like new Zealand food but don't want to go on a 25? Hr plane ride

I tried not to cry when I went there. 200 dogs trapped... there were about 50-60 dogs in one dark room, the door was closed and the place reeked. Please, please if you live in Kunming and want to buy a dog, please save one of these dogs. If you need more information on how to get there, I will give you the phone numbers.

Positive comment: Good on him. I hope he can make a difference. :-) It's a shame the wild elephant population is dwindling in China, and I hope something can be done. I'm glad there's a park to protect them.

They refuse to send electronic instruments... And made many excuses, e.g., it will break, so we can't send it. Whatever you want to send may get rejected, better to call first

Tangy, peppery flavours, do not miss the mango juice and the mango pancakes!

This zoo gave me an insight into how this country views endangered animals. Watch tigers pace back and forth in concrete cages, wolves shivering in the corner behind bars, and zebras looking for a feed. Yes, you can feed the animals whatever you have in your pockets apparently. If that's not enough, purchase a dying turtle to hang around your neck while you eat a caged chicken burger from McDonalds. Oh but the peacocks have lots of grass and space to walk. It was refreshing to see.
