Forums > Food & Drink > Changes at As You Like. Feedback wanted.

We are increasing the amount of local organic produce we use in our cafe.

This week we will start buying organic eggs and milk. To allow this change we will increase the price of some of our dishes. We hope you find these increases reasonable.

We are also considering changing our opening hours. We currently open Tuesday to Sunday between 11:00 and 22:30

We are either going to open:

a.) Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 22:30

or

b.) 7 days a week 11:00 - 22:30

Which would you prefer?

Forums > Food & Drink > Bread in Kunming

The soft fluffy bread you get at supermarkets and most large bakeries is about as far from real bread as you can get; it is a shame that it has become the standard by which most people measure the bread they buy.

This is how it is manufactured:

At a handful of small bakeries in kunming bread is still made properly using only flour, water, salt and yeast. If you live near one, you'd be mad not to use it.

At As You Like we buy locally produced, stone ground flour and make all our bread by hand. Bread that has been cared for at every stage of the process is better bread, no question.

Bicycle?

I brought mine without incurring any charges at all. I had very little other stuff and just whipped all the bits off my frame and stuck them in my bag. Frame got a bit of protection from some cardboard and stuff.

I had some Bamboo rat on a trip down to Banna over the holiday. It made a delicious broth, though I reckon they'd caught a racing rat because there wasn't much meat to speak of.

I've been eating here regularly for a year now and my opinion of it keeps getting better. The staff and owners are lovely welcoming people, and the food is excellent.

It's the only Chinese restaurant in Kunming where I can be confident that I'm not ingesting large amounts of agricultural poison along with my food.

Go there. Often.

I'm afraid that I'm the problem. I'm not the boss, but I bake the bread.

I'm quite inconsistent and unreliable.

The thing is, I don't do the same things everyday and get the bread out at the same time everyday. I understand the danger in this, but I can't stop trying new things. Often, those experiments fail, or go slower than I hoped. But I am learning from them.

I'm trying to organise something so that hopefully, soon, things will settle into a routine.

Please bear with me.

Hard to think of a reason not to give Dune a five star review. The owners are very friendly and provide excellent service, as do the staff.

The noodles are decent, and give one a good impression of the kitchen; I won't be afraid to sample other dishes on the menu.

The main event though is the beer selection, which is one of the best in town.
A great spot to sit in the afternoon sun sipping a good beer.

I am a great lover of Indian food, so it is with a heavy heart that I see people here rate this place. In short, the food is very bad. To sell it as "authentic Indian cuisine" is poor.

Last time I went I wrote a note offering to teach the chefs some recipes that I know are very good. I saw the staff throw my note in a bin. Not cool.
