Q: Good bread - where to buy?

Can you please let me know where to buy good bread in Beijing? Chaoyang district? I mean western bread, rye, dark bread... not that Chinese sweet milky thing...

Try April Gourmet stuff. I often get their baguettes (for 7/10 yuan), sometimes pita bread, though it's rather pricey (~30 yuan)

I don't know if every city in China gets the same bread, I like a heavy bread, in China I love a little loaf kinda like egg bread only sweeter that has almonds on it. Bakeries have some breads that are OK, have to try a few to find what you like.

Only one sure way for real one (looking at Your nick - I suppose Polish?) is to bake, but there are not too many hi temperature ovens here...

Ask some friend to send You bread-machine, or but one in HK if You plan to be there.
I used one few years ago, and it was OK. 

In China You can buy yeast and flour, also with sugar and salt there is no problem Wink

Yeah, baking is an option. Though I am still looking for a place that can sell really good bread. I heard about the Russian stores at Dongzhimen, maybe will try there.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
