Forums > Living in Kunming > No More Plastic Bags!

Wow, well there you go. The system fails because of people afraid of small change and bringing bags to take out restaurants. If this is how most people feel, the state of the world makes that much more sense to me now. Thanks for the 'toolish' insight.

I understand where all of your pessimism stems from, but come on now... embrace this new law instead of anticipating its failure. It's a pretty amazing thing to be discussed at such a high level of government let alone make a law like this. I'm presently in Dali and even the smallest of xiao mai bu on the outside of town are not giving out plastic bags. I consider that a relative success no matter what the future holds for this law.

Hey Jared, sorry you had a bad milkshake. We try to make sure that our workers understand that our milkshakes need to be thick as possible. But things obviously don't always go as we hope. If you get a milkshake at Salvador's again, make sure that you tell them no milk, or as little as possible. Cheers

Thank you for all the helpful comments. As far as a smoking and a non-smoking section goes, we have pondered the idea; but I fear that our space is too small and cramped. And I wonder if it might only add to the confusion for those not used to the idea of smoking bans.

Last year I would have said (and did say) that a smoking ban in the restaurant would not work. But a lot has changed since then. Even the cheap cross-country buses have gone no smoking and husbands with pregnant wives have learned the lesson to puff outside the house to spare their child's health.

Beijing will ban public smoking before the Olympics (afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5h_87fj70TlsV8mkXTKbPtdEOLAcg) and Shanghai will ban smoking by 2010 (www.chinacsr.com/[...] Why not get ahead of the game, as it will eventually be the same in Kunming?

Anyway, its a difficult subject from a business standpoint, so I'm hoping that some of you smokers out there who strongly disagree with a smoking ban will make their points. Much obliged.

For those who don't already know, as of yesterday restaurants in Kunming are opening up. Salvador's Coffee House and Mosaic Bistro are both currently open from 10 am to 9 pm. As staff return to Kunming, we might soon be able to get back to full operating hours. There are some rules that we must currently follow including...

1. must scan in QR code
2. must scan temperature
3. must wear mask when not eating or drinking
4. must limit seating at tables and tables must be at least 1 meter apart

Hopefully the slow recovery towards normalcy will be seen again next month in the rest of the world.

I'm leaving this review for one of my staff. She just return from Dali and fell in love with this little restaurant in Dali. Very nice owners cooking up delicious and healthy Chinese cuisine with an open kitchen and local "organic" ingredients. I'll have to try it out myself next time.

If you're looking for a slightly higher end place serving local foods in a nice outdoor atmosphere, you'll dig this place

I'm disappointed in myself for even considering giving this place another chance. I wanted to give my 4-month old a chance to see some live animals and I was sure that there was no way that the Kunming Zoo was as bad as it was 15 years ago. Somehow it was worse. It's disgraceful that with all of the changes that this city has undergone in the last two decades that this zoo still lacks any sense of decency or morality.

At nailer and tallamerican, I'm sorry to hear about your recent experiences. We wash everything with purified water and make all of our food fresh daily from whole ingredients in order to avoid any problems. We will review our procedures to assure that we continue to provide the safest and healthiest menu options possible. I hope you'll give us another try and I'd be happy to buy you a coffee if you are around any morning.

@GoKunming, it would be nice if there was a zero star option for reviews so that business owners can contribute without having to rate ourselves. I kind of feel like a d-bag giving myself stars 1-5. For some reason I settled on 4 as the least douchey ;).
