Ground cinnamon can be found in small quantities at Paul's, Wen Hua Xiang, and in big plastic bottles or bags at out at Metro, Bei Chen. Happy Christmas baking.
Just yesterday I saw a recipe that begged to be tried. It's got three big plusses. First it doesn't use any eggs or egg custard base, second the recipe claims it isn't icy and third, an ice cream churn isn't needed. For me a fourth bonus is that it uses one of Pooh Bear's and my favourite foods.
Downside? You must have an electric beater (200 kuai on Taobao) or a full relay team of strong arms.
1 litre cream (don't waste your time with N***** cream or any of the creams that are less than 40 kuai a litre. they never whip properly.)
1 can condensed milk
Vanilla or any other flavour.
Beat everything together and freeze in a covered container.
I tried it and my verdict is that it's good, a little icy, the condensed milk flavour is less obvious than I thought it would be. Good with an apple pie, fruit or dessert but I'm not sure I'd want to eat a tub of it by itself. Nobody could accuse it of tasting like a frozen milk dessert.
Have you tried the second hand clothing market in the north west? It's close to the Communication College, on the third floor of the building selling cars.
The market on Hong Shan Nan Lu has it at about 70 kuai a kg. It's at the entrance, on the left above the grinning goat's head, below it's leg and next to it's liver. Fortunately the goat's cheese arrives sealed in big vacuum packs. Still a lot cheaper than imported cheese.
We don't do a regular Sunday roast anymore but we're happy to

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.

Please, someone. Tell me I'm all wrong.
