FOOD NEWS "Many's the long
night I've dreamed of cheese - toasted, mostly"

The restaurant is in Gongyuan Lu at the junction with Longcheng Road (where they are digging the underground shopping mall). It is on the second floor above the telephone shop. See map. This must be bad news for the people at Cafe Blooming, Liuzhou's only other source of real pizza. Hope they can survive, but their location and lack of corporate status doesn't help. 24th April 1008 |

To my amazement the Little Sheep Restaurant beside Wenhui Bridge has disappeared and a Cantonese restaurant appeared in its place. Little Sheep is one of China's most successful catering business with hundreds of branches across China, but also with branches in the USA, Australia and Canada. It was also extremely popular in Liuzhou. You had to book at weekends. If anyone has any idea if they have moved to another location or whatever, please contact me. I have emailed their head office, but still await a reply. UPDATE: I have now received a reply from Xiao Fei Yang (Little Sheep) which confirms the closure of the Liuzhou Branch. Apparently the lease on the premises expired and they decided not to renew. They advise me that the nearest branch is now in Nanning. They also say that they believe Little Sheep could re-appear in Liuzhou in the near future. updated 4th October 2007 |

KFC withdraws products in Sudan-I scare All 1,200 KFC outlets in China, including the two in Liuzhou have withdrawn New Orleans roast chicken wings and chicken burgers after finding that they contained the carcinogenic dye Sudan-I . This is only the latest find in China, with Heinz products being totally withdrawn in Beijing. Fuller details can be found in the various stories here. 20th March 2005 |

One of Liuzhou's most popular restaurants (both with the Laowai and the locals), the Xi'an Restaurant, has gone, only to be replaced with a new joint calling itself Taipei "OX" Beef Restaurant. They have not one, but two flash signs on the wall outside proudly offering "Westerl Food, Beef Hteak, Coffee and Simple" I give up! I surrender! Call Amnesty immediately! If anyone is brave enough to visit, please let me know. If their westerl cooking is as good as their westerl spelling, I need to know. As for the Xi'an Restaurant, I am fairly convinced (wishful thinking?) that they will pop up somewhere else eventually. They have been in Liuzhou for years and the place was always popular. I can't believe they have just given up! Dinner on me to the first person to track them down! (Well, a bowl of noodles anyway!) 4th October 2004 |
