Ifoundthetuna - but then, if the baby grows up here, and although it seems he is the child of 'westerners', he won't have to have a typical western digestive system. Why not ask Chinese parents what they feed their babies?
I think Paul's Shop on Wenhuaxiang has them.
There's a small bakery/breakfast place in Dali, called (Somebody's) Kitchen), that serves real German frankfurters (or, anyway, they seem to be), which are way better than most hot dog sausages from elsewhere.
Yankkee00: I take it that by 'someone...locally' you really mean 'a westerner living in Kunming' - by 'an expat in Beijing' you mean 'a westerner in Beijing', and that your logic rests on the idea that 'westerners', known or unknown and regardless of their experience or lack of it, are more likely to make sausages 'safer and better' than Chinese are - is this the correct interpretation?
My recommendation for Tomann's sausages is because I like them, and because the type of sausage he makes is not made locally by anyone else, and can't be found in the market (unless one goes to Metro or someplace for imports), as far as I know.
Mister H, many of the folks you've seen in the area of the Wicker Basket - probably most - are from North America, live in or near Chunyuanxiaoqu, and are here in connection with teaching (KIA, Protestant Christian education), Protestant Christian charity and/or Protestant Christian evangelistic efforts (properly subdued, for the most part). A lot of the things many of them do (e.g.: prosthetic limbs for folks who got the natural ones blown off near the Vietnamese border from leftover ordinance etc. from the 1979 war) are hard to object to, and are motivated by sincere Christian attitudes and teachings - tho I'm not offering blanket excuses for just any kind of evangelical effort.
Farady, to be fair, I really don't think it's their salaries that brings them here, although the salaries are admittedly a bit higher than what is needed to live in Kunming.
No results found.
Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.
As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.
Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.
Too bourgeois.
Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
