One of the dishes I tried was a Lamb stew which was really nice. I’ve never been to Africa so I don’t really now much about African food, but I’d be happy to put you in touch with Carlos if you’re interested.
Hi Ray,
They’re still in their soft opening stage at the moment so the menu is changing a lot. I’ve eaten there 3 times and been impressed with the food so far. The owner Carlos is from Guinea, but the menu has a mixture of foods from various African countries. I’d definitely recommend checking it out, and you’re welcome to come along tonight if you’re free.
Hello Kavin,
Yes, they can tailor coats. The next event could be in February or March. They are based in Beijing.
The South has the highest concentration of expats, but the Center and West are pretty good too. If you’re on the metro line in the west that will make transport easier.
No problem. Thanks for the support!
Yeah, they do pea coats and other styles, I probably should have promoted that more!
Thanks to everyone who came along yesterday to the fourth Tailor Made Chengdu Event. The tailors took orders for over 30 Suits, 65 shirts and several winter coats during the day. All orders should be delivered to Chengdu in about 10-15 days time.
We’ll definitely be doing this event again in the near future, so if you didn’t get a chance to come along this time, but are interested in attending in the future let me know and I’ll make sure I keep you informed.
Over 50 people registered to see the Beijing tailors tomorrow. We’ll be working from 9am-8pm to meet demand.
Venue confirmed as 2nd Floor, The Ascott, Raffles City. (Sichuan Gynasium Subway stop)
I have confirmed times with everyone registered to attend tomorrow. If you want to come along but haven’t contacted me yet please get in touch asap on 13880577514 or Wechat: UKMichael
You might have trouble with customs when you arrive in your home country, most countries are pretty sensitive about seeds/saplings. I think partly because of disease but also because of different strains of weeds/GM-modified varieties etc.
I agree that flower town might have what you need, I know Auchan also has some seeds in their small gardening section too.
Thanks to everyone who came along on Tuesday. Another fun and interesting night for everyone joined us. I’m always too lazy to count, but there were at least 100 people there at the peak of the evening.
We had a fantastic photographer called KB join us this month, you can find all the photos from the event here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/108103101@N02/
KB is a Malaysian working in Chengdu. He does photography and video for all kinds of applications. If you’re impressed with his work you can check out his wesite here or contact through me.
We’re hosting Chengdu Business Connection’s Monthly mixer on the second Tuesday of every month, so put us down on your calender and we look forward to seeing you next month!
I heard about this before. Maybe you could convince them to do a ‘Laowai Combo’? Carrots, onions, eggplant, cucumber, spinach etc.
If you have a Merchant’s Bank card you can use this to pay at most cinemas (Wanda, Wangfujing, raffles, galleria, all the big malls) and the price is only 30 or 35 yuan.
We’ve already got about 20 people signed up for the 24th. If anyone else on the forum is interested in getting some suits or shirts tailor-made then please get in touch as soon as possible to confirm your place.
Woodwerd, definitely possible I think. Although I think expats with at least average Chinese skills stand a better chance.
Looking forward to seeing lots of CL forum people at the Pug tonight! If you get lost feel free to call me: 13880577514
Hope to see lots of CL forum members again here on Tuesday.

Viki and Belle,
I think I speak for most foreigners who choose to live in Chengdu when I say: I like the food, I like the people and I like living here!
The best thing to do if you come across foreigners complaining is ignore them, the same way most foreigners ignore the things they don’t like here. Everywhere has its advantages and disadvantages, negative people will complain when they are in China, at home or anywhere!
I’m from the UK and I often meet Chinese people who have lived there and don’t like it! There’s really no need to be offended. Some people just don’t understand the the joy of living in a new, different and foreign place.
Anyway, if you want to meet some positive, china-loving and cool people in Chengdu, both Chinese and from many other countries. We have a free monthly networking event here in Chengdu, details here: https://www.chengduliving.com/forum/topic/tuesday-november-12th-chengdu-business-connection-monthly-networking-mixer/ You’re welcome to join!
