What kinds of organic, vegetarian and allergy-friendly foods are available, such as organic produce, gluten-free products, meat substitutes for vegetarians, etc?
Not many. Most Chinese food has some meat component. IF you are a vegetarian get ready to eat a lot of rice and green vegetables, or cook at home. - Aug 2011
Food safety is an issue to be aware of. For the vital items, sticking to highest quality brands is worth it, since sometimes, quality/safety is lost in the rush to put out cheaper products. Fake cigarettes/alcohol (and many other things) are constantly an issue. - Dec 2010
