Q: Is there any way of telling if a restaurant uses gutter oil?

Like is there a funny taste or does it look darker?

No you can't taste it and the texture is unnoticeable. If you could taste it there would be no customers in the first place. Could you imagine tasting it and people still coming back for more. Use your head Big Red!

I've always wondered this. To me it seems that oil with a watery appearance could well be gutter oil. I've seen food at those cheap 10 kuai whole in the wall places that are just drenched in this watery oil-like substance.

One of your friends will tell you when they visit you in the hospital or at your funeral.

There is probably no way to be sure, outside of seeing the source as it arrives. Like most things in China, there is no "immediate" negative health consequences, but wait until 20 years from now, everyone will be wondering what caused the mass extinction!

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
