I bought an oven last week Smile

 

Before that, I used to fry and steam (in the rice-cooker) - pretty much the same sort of meals as back home. With the occasional use of the wok or saucepan for something more exotic.

The problem was less cooking utensils as ingredients... took me months to get basil and sage! Or butter!! (I was in a T2 city with only 1 Walmart.. which wasn't that close).

We have a dung oven. It's made out of poo. 

 

But before we got that we ate a lot of noodles. But some of that spicy pepper sauce in it and you'll be in business.

Cereal with fruit and toast  - they make a raisin bread here that's delish.

Fried potato and chicken wings done in the MW.

Stir fry in the Wok.

Steamed rice.

Fried rice mixed with pork and lots of fresh vegetables.

French toast.

Hot dogs.

Spaghetti Bolognese.

Instant noodles with buttered, dry, salted crackers

Toasted sandwiches.

BBQ Chicken breast marinated with chips and salad.

Restaurants for Korean BBQ and assorted Chinese dishes.

But I am still buying an oven so I can have a roast meal - lamb, pork and chicken.

Rock on!!

I have figured out a way to make my wok into an oven so that I can make roast beef dinner. I have boughten a BBQ which is nice for a change... But, who says that people don't have an over? I have friends that have ovens, they just bought them so that they can bake bread, cookies, cakes, etc.

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
