Try Looking for your nearest Peters Tex Mex branch but there are still plenty of other western themed restaurants in Chengdu that will do a takeaway even if it's only Macdonalds. Since covid and the mass departure of the Western expats, the limited offerings of Western foods have all but dissapeared from the shops and I rely on buying spices from Tabao.

Hi @Andyhack22


First of all, I hope your wife recovers quickly.


For proper Western/imported groceries (cheese, bread, yogurt, cereals, snacks, etc.), go to the Ol茅 supermarket inside Chengdu IFS Taikoo Li on Chunxi Road.


It鈥檚 the best option in the city for this 鈥� much better than regular supermarkets. Just Didi to 鈥淚FS鈥� or 鈥淥le Taikoo Li鈥�.


There鈥檚 also one in MixC mall. Walmart has a decent imported section too if that鈥檚 easier.


You can often order via Meituan for hospital delivery if they allow it.
