Q: Have you ever suspected a restaurant of serving you fake meat?

I went to a hot pot restaurant recently and ordered beef.  A plate of bright pink "meat' rolls arrived with no speck of fat. It looked completely fake and artificial and unlike any beef I've ever seen. The Chinese companion I was with immediately refused it and urged us to leave the restaurant at once. And that was the end of it. Have you ever had a close encounter with fake meat and if so, what if anything did you do about it?

I've had a couple of cases (3 or 4) where it was impossible to tell what animal the meat came from based on taste, texture or appearance. I think it's been beef, or has been supposed to be beef in all encounters I've had.

 

But e.g. the stuff on top of Pizza Hut's pizzas can be difficult to identify. Probably a great deal rat-turds on there.

if i can't identify the animal the meat comes from - usually through seeing the bones - i don't order it.

 Have you ever wondered why steak looks like the sole of a Nike? I'm sure the restaurants recycle the bones you get in your meal, there's no meat on them. Fake meat probably, but it's the other stuff, all uneatable for my tastes, chicken feet, pig ears, veins, rat, cat, dog assholes that worry me.

 Eat like the Chinese, rice or noodle.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
