[quote=BARONTWANGLE,324834]Dave - If you want to impress, then you need to do something western which she probably hasn't tried before. However, if you are limited to a pan on a stove then it clearly cuts down your options drastically. How about a nice salmon steak pan friend in garlic butter, served with some mash potato, caramelised onions, and sugar snap peas. You can easily get all those things in a big supermarket, and all can be done on the stove. You need to steer clear of strange things like cheese, and don't put too much butter in the mash, as most Chinese need to acquire the taste for such things first. If you can get an oven, then something like Fisherman's Pie is easy to do with local ingredients - just don't use contaminated milk! Also, if your lady likes wine, bring a bottle with you as it's not easy to get good stuff here. For desert you can do something like a mango sorbet. All my Chinese girlfriends seem to love it, and it's easy to make (as long as you have a freezer!). Mangoes won't be in season actually, so maybe try peach instead. Or you could try a thick chocolate mousse made with eggs, cornflour, and milk. I have a great recipe which is easy to make in a pan, but you will have to get good quality chocolate to make it. No Chinese made chocolate is good enough - really needs to be swiss. You can get Lindt in Watsons sometimes.[/quote]
