Working as a cook for a spell

Saturday, 14 November 2009 2:26 P GMT+08
I decided many years ago that I wasn’t going to survive in China unless I was willing to do something utterly ridiculous every now and again.

Liuzhou hasn't hung back in its recently announced promise to exploit the river to develop tourism.

Cheesed Off

Saturday, 22 August 2009 12:55 P GMT+08
The only thing we have not discovered and will not eat is cheese. The Mongols could not persuade us to eat cheese, and the Europeans do not have a greater chance of doing so. - Lin Yutang, MyCountry and My People, 1935

A Fishy Tale

Saturday, 21 March 2009 12:57 P GMT+08
Yesterday evening at 6 pm, Liuzhou resident Mr Mo was about to pack up and go home after a frustrating fishing in the Liujiang, the river which runs through the heart of Liuzhou.

Bang Bang Bang!

The locals had so much fun three weeks ago blowing up the People's Hospital, that they decided to blow up another building.

Gone!

I am devastated to learn of the death of my favourite Liuzhou restaurant.

Frozen Fish - Tilapia Trauma

Wednesday, 7 January 2009 5:23 P GMT+08
One of the things I miss around here is good fish. Not that we don't have any fish, but most of the fish are freshwater breeds which simply don't taste as good, or require pepping up with strong flavours.

Wedding Noodles

I call them "train noodles". Because, I usually only eat them on trains - as does everyone else. Instant noodles.

Duck Hunting

Tuesday, 23 September 2008 6:04 P GMT+08
At the weekend, I took myself off to Nanning, the capital of Guangxi. It?s about three hours down the road by bus. En route, we cross the Tropic of Cancer ? yes it?s marked on the highway. The reason for my journey was twofold ? to see my dearest fri

Alcohol Abuse

Friday, 29 August 2008 2:25 P GMT+08
Disaster. My beer supply for the weekend was on its way when the idiot driving the truck had a collision with another truck going in the opposite direction. Both drivers were trapped and had to be rescued by the local rescuers.

AIDS Kebabs 2

Thursday, 24 April 2008 2:21 P GMT+08
More than a month after China Mobile sent out an SMS warning people of AIDS / HIV laced kebabs (see here), the Xinjiang government have finally woken up after whatever banquet they were at and decided to issue a statement.

Noodle Sense

Wednesday, 23 April 2008 1:38 P GMT+08
Following on from my recent post entitled "Noodle Nonsense", I am delighted to bring you the news that, despite the animosity between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, they are occasionally able to come together.

Faux Food

Sunday, 20 April 2008 10:10 A GMT+08
I had an interesting meal a few days ago. I am a dedicated carnivore and tend to regard vegetarians with deep suspicion.

Noodle Nonsense

Friday, 11 April 2008 1:31 P GMT+08
There I was eating my Chicken Giblets Fried Noodles when I got to thinking about the noodle chopstick problem.

AIDS Kebabs

Saturday, 15 March 2008 10:00 P GMT+08
This is utterly bizarre. My cell phone service provider, China Mobile, sends out daily news digests by SMS. Yesterday they send me a most unusual and somewhat sinister story.

70s Commune Bar Culture Study Centre

Sunday, 2 March 2008 4:16 P GMT+08
I?ve never been one for Liuzhou?s bars. Most of them are overpriced hell holes playing loud dance music and selling bad drinks to drunken 15 year olds. Or drunken 30 year olds acting like drunken 15 year olds. So, last night, when I was invited out f

I'm in shock. I had to have a lie down. I received some terrible news.

Cabbage Tolls

It is impossible to travel by road in China without running into one of these every few miles.
