Forums > Food & Drink > Pizza with decent sauce

A lot depends on what you are used to. If you grew up on PapaJ and Pizza Shack, then Pizzas in Italy would disappoint.

In GZ they think food in the rest of China is crap. Personally, I was brought up on food that is more akin to HK style. I also love going to HK as I can eat out without worrying that ecoli and/or salmonella are essential ingredients.
My Chinese family think that no dish is complete without numb nuts (huajiao) and chilli.

There are catering suppliers and the stuff is food grade. But we are talking about catering fitters, who will sell you a whole kitchen.
Having said that, the regulations here are a bit hit'n'miss, as are inspections.

What exactly do you want it for? There are at least a couple of us on here who could suggest viable solutions.

Perhaps the classifieds on an expat website is a magnet for a certain type of girl.
I agree about maturity. This is not just about age, but milage.
There is also a lot to be said for divorcees. They have a clearer idea of what they want/more specifically what they don't want, and they are under fewer illusions. They are also more likely to be financially and otherwise independent.
They may also have been a trophy that was dropped and replaced by something new and shiny, and they don't want to marry the same kind of man again.

Update in the news today. Two related stories.
First, a group of young volunteers are combing the streets, looking for stolen bikes, and then returning them. Some are even locked with cable locks and chains, but the volunteers carry large bold croppers to cut the chains.
Second, police have apparently jailed 3 people for stealing these bikes. I think one person got 11 days and the other person 5 days.

Yes, but it also depends on suitable systems and policies, at both the national, local and school levels. At school level it also applies to the policies within both public and private sector schools, and is also true for special programs.

I currently work in a program, where for the first 2/3 of Gao Yi, we spend 80% of our time managing 10% of the students, most of whom are not usually there in Gao Er; and these kids are not disadvantaged, they are just dis[insert adjective here].

Of course its not a flat table. Stop being so bloody PC. Social mobility is a relevant social goal.

No child left behind is not about the competitive society. Many of the 20% of under achievers are not disadvantaged by social background, many have lower intelligence, or really don't care.
The 20% who could achieve a lot more includes many of the smart kids who are socially disadvantaged, but the crap schools in the poor neighborhoods lack the resources for them to excel. When they do get more money, they have to spend it on under achievers. Helping students who would otherwise get an E, to get a D is not going to change their life prospects. Helping the smart kids from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve their full potential is going to change lives.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
