These gutter oil claims are always on my mind when eating in Kunming so thought I'd check it out and read the article they have on this site now I know how big it is, wish I'd not checked lol
These quotes are all from about a year ago relating to a case but still the situation couldn't of changed that much :(
1)
'the company allegedly sold 32,000 tons of 'cooking oil' in Yunnan — much of it consisting of industrial and commercial waste'
2}
'CCTV reporters estimate the amount of these products sold was enough to supply 1.5 million consumers with cooking oil for a year'
3)
'According to the CCTV report, Chinese police have investigated 1.3 million cases of gutter oil production in 250,000 illegal factories over the last 18 months'
Big business gutter oil I'm guessing.....

Posted byWell if you looking for British food at culinary event you'll be pretty disappointed as I ended up lol
It was the same usual buffet (good as normal) but with a few British selections added and these wasn't the real deal either! Fish & chips were one, consisted of thinly cut pieces of potato plus little bits of cod in soggy batter, deserts were the only good thing with blackberry crumble and bread pudding tasting quite good :) but still more Chinese and Indian selections than British.
All in all a good buffet as usual but not a British culinary buffet by no stretch!
Oh well, still stuffed lol

Posted byThat 368rmb price has always been the same at the hotel for the buffet whether or not they doing the British promotion, still go once a month as they do a proper moneys worth variety and selection of foods & drinks, got to treat yourself every now and then lol.
Be checking the British one tonight so let you know how it went regarding food quality, in other words was it the real deal, not chinglish grub lol
