Q: where to get bagels and cream cheese or macaroni&cheese in beijing

Really craving a  bagel with cream cheese.  Or some mac n cheese.

 

I live near the bottom of line 5 (songjiazhuang) so ideally somewhere not too far out of the way.

You can find these items at pretty much any western grocery store in the city (excluding carfour; I'm not sure about metro)

 

My go-to spots are Jenny Lou's and April Gourmet. There are quite a few of these locations in Beijing, but unfortunately they are all pretty much in the CBD, Sanlitun and Shunyi areas, so it looks like you'll have to make a trek out to get them.

Hope that helps.

Thanks that helped a lot. Went to April's gourmet today.  Can't belive I've lived here this long and didn't know about it.  I always went to walmart/carefour/sams club for my foreign needs and was always a bit dissapointed.  I was very suprised to see the awesome selection Aprils had today.

 

:

yeah, I've become a sort of unofficial spokesperson for those two stores. I think a quarter of my paycheck went to them last year (mostly on 30-50 RMB French wines).

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
