Slice of Heaven on Hong Shan Dong Lu does not allow its customers to smoke in the cafe, nor does Mazagran on Wen Lin Jie or any of the Wicker Baskets' stores.
Oh dear, Manifico, I really didn't think our pizzas were that bad. But cheer up. They're only 20 kuai on Fridays between 7 and 9 pm
Okay, BillDan, you made me laugh but still, I have to wonder why are you here in Kunming? I thought Kunming was a place peope came to because they wanted to try new things and have a bit of an adventure, not the perfect panini. As I see it we're really lucky to have so many people willing to face your kind of scorn, put up their money and work hard to make the cafes and restaurants in Kunming as good as they are.
Slice of Heaven has regular wine tasting events. The next will be on the third Saturday of May, the 19th, when we will try out some reasonably priced Australian and Chilean suavignon blanc and cabernet/ merlot wines. Any other Saturday we always heavily discount one of our wines so that you can enjoy a bottle of wine with your meal. You're welcome to be part of our ventures and/or organise your own event at our cafe.
Looking for decent reasonably priced wine?
So are we.
This week we will discount all our Chilean sauvignon blanc wines. These wines will be available on Saturday 6pm + for 60 rmb a bottle. One is an old favourite and the other of is new so we look forward to hearing your comments/
Also on April 21, 7pm, we're having a tasting of wines from Sapore Italia, the Italian food and wine importer. Francesca will introduce the wines and they will be specially priced for the evening. Of course we'll put out some tapas style foods to complement the wines. A great opportunity to find out about some new wines.

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.
Around Town: Spring Festival business schedules
Posted bySlice 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.
Battered women's shelter opens in Kunming
Posted byBattered is an adjective best applied to fish. Violently abused seems more accurate to me.
Interview: Karine Kaffrell
Posted byI'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.
