I love spicy food. That is a well-known fact. Since I was a kid I’ve been addicted to spicy food like crazy. Life without it? Nightmare!
Lewi loves spicy food. That is a well-known fact as well. And you cannot imagine how happy I was to find out that.
So basically we two are spicy food addicts. Call that a great couple!
Before Lewi met me, he had no idea about Sichuan food. I’m so sad for him. Haha. :P Anyway, as soon as he tried Sichuan food, he fell in love with it.
So what’s a dream place for us to eat? Without any doubt – Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.
When Lewi was in China in December last year, we went to Chengdu. :D
The first night, we went to Yu Lin Road for Lao Ma Tou Hot Pot. It was soooooo spicy and yummy. It was so freaking cold in Chengdu at night but the hot pot definitely took the coldness away. The best hot pot and also the most spicy hot pot I’ve ever had.
This is Jing Li. It is a Chinese-style and cultural place full of shops, cafes and restaurants. I can’t say that I’m very impressed but it was nice to walk around on a lazy afternoon.
We saw someone writing names and words in a small glass so we bought two. Pretty Chiense style. One for ourselves and one for Lewi’s parents. =)
In a small bar in Jing Li. Had some Whisky to warm up. It was not nice price though. Don’t drink or eat in Jing Li!
And of course we went to Long Chao Shou on Chun Xi Road (the busiest and most famous street in Chengdu).
Steamed Beef. Spicy :D Yummmmmm. We loved it.
Dumplings In Hot & Sour Soup. Om nom nom nom. Looking at the picture now is killing me!
Had a nice walk in Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi (Kuan Zhai Lanes). Nice place. A lot of restaurants, cafes and bars there. Very Chinese style.
In a small restaurant in Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi. Had some Martini there. Nice atmosphere and deco, drink was OK.
BTW, I love 5D Mark II. Great camera indeed! Nice for any portraits.
We also went to Chengdu Impressions as Lewi’s favourite dish in Sichuan food is probably Kung Pao Chicken. Sadly that photo is blurry. :(
Pork Slices In Garlic & Spicy Sauce.
Beef In Spicy Broth. So so so great with steamed rice!
If you are a westerner and you cannot just eat Chinese food every single day and your stomach requires western food for breakfast, I think you should go and check out Peters Tex Mex near Sichuan University. It is a pretty popular place.
Large Frozen Margarita.
Very nice deco inside. So warm. Especially when it is freezing and windy outside, you just walk in and you feel all warmed up.
Yummy Potato Skin.
Their Corn Chips.
Beef Fajita. Sizzling!
Our last supper in Chengdu. Spicy Beef Noodles. 5 RMB. From a unknown small restaurant. So delicious. Satisfied.
