Forums > Food & Drink > Cheese! Where?

We buy New Zealand Anchor cheddar cheese in bulk. It's the export quality and I think is more tasty than what you would get in NZ. We, Slice of Heaven, will happily slice off (about) as much as you need and sell it to you at 120rmb a kilogram. This sounds about the same or less than Wallmart, Metro or C.4.

I thought he was older, maybe 40. Long thin face and longish thick hair. But I did notice his too big for him black or very dark jacket. Either way, Kunming is full of these opportunistic very sharp tea leafs and the moral is: if you value it keep it close, and preferably, well out of sight.

Slice of Heaven opens at 8.30 for breakfast. 5-6am? Sorry, I can't help you but I do recommend buying a kettle and toaster.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Where can I buy some good milk?

I agree. I guess it's because it's reconstituted. Metro, Walmart and Carrefour sell imported UHT milk. It's expensive. On the plus side if you buy the small tetrapacks packed in a carton, the unopened tetrapacks are good for months.

Forums > Food & Drink > Consider making your own bread, it's fun.

Sorry guys. I'd no intention of being patronising. I was however overlooking the fact that much of this discussion is about bread making machines and I do agree with you that if what is coming out at the end of the process is not suiting you, you will have to fiddle with the ingredients to get the results you're after. I have also assumed that my taste in bread is the same as everyone else's.

Slice of Heaven is open over the Chinese New Year. You may have seen this information hidden among the long list of restaurants that are closed. Slice of Heaven, however is not a restaurant. It is a cafe, bakery and wine bar and as such will be serving over fresh baked foods, great coffees and wines over the Chinese New Year.

I've known Karine for some time now and she is a true inspiration. She is right up there as one of the main reasons I decided on having a cafe/bakery here in Kunming. Her enthusiasm for great food, her energy, her 'can do' attitude and her generous spirit are infectious. Thank you Karine, may you keep on insiring others to fulfil their dreams.

The 115 bus, pick it up outside the Normal University on Jian She Lu, will also get you there. We went there in spring and thought it was lovely/

Lao Fa. We all look forward to you opening a bar so we can come and pass judgement. Kris cooks everything with love and both Alex and Kris are great hosts but the first month or so in any business are hideously difficult. Please review again in six months after these hard working guys get their training wheels off.

Great place to find high end stuff beyond most budgets such as down quilts, cashmere scarves and sweaters, very good coats and jackets and leather goods. Often in barely worn condition. You will have to search. I got a Brooks Bros shirt for 10 kuai! Do bargain. I think this is where the charity bins of clothing end up. I've seen huge bales of compressed clothing in some of the stores.

Hearts & Hands had a table at the Xmas market at Slice of Heaven recently. Their Xmas themed ornaments, toys and gifts were well made, very resonably priced and popular with our customers. We noticed they had some nice aprons and we asked them to make some for our staff in another colour. They arrived a week later, stylishly and professionally made and at a price to make the local street tailor anxious. They're right next to the Wicker Basket over on the West Second Ring Road.

Heller, you're right. That is too much for bread. Call that another one of my many senior moments. But we did think the price was too low. The bread is 15 yuan for a baguette and 8 for the foccaccia. We think that is reasonable. What do you think?

I'm a long term fan of Prague Cafe, both Beichen and Wen Lin Jie. It's clean, bright, has some of the friendliest staff in town, great coffee and, their pasta primavera beats all. Just reading a review of Aiyaryarr's makes me want to scream, "Aiyaryarr!!!" Where do you think you are? This is Kunming, in the middle of China, not London, New York, Paris. People here opening cafes, bars, restaurants are not Michelin Star chefs, just people. They love Kunming, food, people, good coffee and want to share that. Instead of blahing off, why don't you either open a cafe of your own and expose yourself to the same criticism you level at others go back to Paris, New York, Mummy, wherever.
