Where Can I find it- What I found and where I found it.

[Pineau]

As you can guess from the name a general thread for folks in China looking for something from back home and others that have found something interesting and where they found it....

ARBY'S Roast beef on a soggy sesame seed bun overloaded with sauce that drips between your fingers and down your arms.  Havnt found it yet.'

Found two bottles of mountain dew in Beijing Olympic center. I scored a case in the alley behind the Hanting hotel in Shenyang. I occasionally see them in Guangzhou but not often.  Mountain dew here is in bottles shaped like old long neck budwieser bottles except they are florscesent green and plastic.


You can get something that resembles steak and potatoes at MEXI WEST Steak House in Guangzhou. http:www.mexicomgz.cn.

No Jiffy Peanut butter yet.

I have found a place that sells  HP Sauce. Now that is the one thing that really makes a Bacon or an Egg Sandwich

Mind you at 4.5 US dollars a small  bottle it means only the slightest hint of the contents of this very small bottle gets into the sandwich.  Agh but its the thought that counts.

You can buy a used bottle of HP sauce on Amazon for $3.48.

On my Trip's , I have yet to see a Panta Express Place  . One thing I was glad to see in Shanghai was the German Restaurant and real Bratwurst and Sauerkraut .. of course the great Beer was missing though .

[Paul Todd]

Arnold if your ever in Baoding they have opened up a new "German"  beirkeller here called " Golden Hans". Honestly I'm not making this up. My wife and I went there last week to have a look. All the waitresses are dressed up like big German women if you know what I mean but they don't have the goods to carry it off! Tight lace bodices,headscarf's to match, and full length dresses, the whole works. The food is a sort of barbecue style but they do brew there own wheat beer which surprisingly enough is not bad at all!

[Arnold]

Paul , I would love to visit Baoding some day .. as I like to meet up with you and your lovely Wife and besides my other Sister ( MIN ) lives there . I can give you here address and you can say Hello for me . haha

German Restaurants never make it here in Southern Cal for very long anymore . As no new Germans are coming as of late and American's don't really care too much about their Food . Beer alone is not going to keep them open . About 100 miles away from my house there is Alpine Village ( Torrance ) that I visit now and then .

Arnold , you make it sound so hard , simply covert half of your workshop into a German beer house and while their V dubbs are being serviced they can enjoy some German food , ha ha .

Sounds like a good place. Baoding. I will have to go there.  I hope they have Brats in beer.

There is an Irish Pub in Beijing not far from Tianamin and close to the train station. Call Mally Malones. Live band and singers.

Ireland's contribution to world culture, Irish bars in every major city!!

[Paul Todd]

And a fine contribution it is too The world would be a much sadder place without Guinness in it!

[Rhonald]

I coudn't agree more Paul with your observation, because when I lick Guinness, I suddenly feel like a Jedi Master ready to take on the world 

THE PUNISHER STIKES AGAIN

I found a supermarket called CARREFOUR. There are 3 of them in Guangzhou. You can find them on the net. They are sort of like wal-mart.  They carry some American foods ..I FOUND CORNFLAKES AND CHERRIOS  woo! Also across the courtyard is a Papa Jon's Pizzarea ,much better than pizza hut but more expensive. The Pizzas are actually the same size as the  ones in the states.

Carrefour is a french supermarket.  They're supposed to be on the higher end of things but still quite good (they are in a number of countries in Asia).  I've never been in one before but they have a good rep.

Mike, just think, you get to introduce your wife to Walmart.
