Q: Great (non-Chinese) restaurants

Simple - what's the best (non-Chinese) restaurant you've been to here?

 

Or, make it culture specific if you can...

 

For me, Indian in Taj Mahal (either branch) in Nanjing! Closely followed by an Indian restaurant in Wenzhou.

 

I can't really comment on Thai food, as I haven't found any really good ones here in China (even in the local - "winner of best Thai restaurant award" here in Hangzhou...).

 

Guangzhou rocks for some good Turkish and Middle East food.

 

Hangzhou and Shanghai have a great couple of US steak & burger joints, called Slim's (and with some steaks at 300+RMB, they'd better be good... and are!)

 

There are a couple of Greek restaurants (Taverna) in Shanghai, and while I liked going there and enjoyed the food, it wasn't as good as some places back home :(

 

 

Do you have any recommendations for anywhere?

Xiaobei in Guangzhou for Muslim food. Fantastic

 

I have never had a bad Indian meal here. But they are few and far between.

 

Still looking for a decent sandwich Sad

 

Hotwater:

Problem with Indian food here is that it is "watered down". A Vindaloo should be HOT. Here it is medium, even when you tell them you want HOT!

iWolf:

Tsim Sha Tsui is the place to go for a decent curry.

 

Sadly, I can never find one that does and 'authentic' English - curry and chips

Taj Mahal in Nanjing tastes like what I imagine rotten dog food would taste like.

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
