In the video we ate deep fried string beans (干煸四季豆), Kung Pao chicken (宫保鸡丁), twice cooked pork slices (回锅肉), and Szechuan hotpot (四川火锅) . My favorite was the hotpot. It had a spicy-sour taste that was so good after a long day without eating. The deep fried string beans were alright. Kung Pao chicken is what the Chinese always think foreigners will love and sure enough, as foreigners,we did. As for the twice cooked pork slices, you can't go wrong ordering that.

Szechuan Food
I made a short video on some of the foods I have come across in Sichuan province. Sichuanese food otherwise known as Szechuan food is known for being very flavorful and spicy. Actually the famous Kung Pao Chicken is a Szechuan food which is featured in the short video I made. The foods in the video were eaten when we were in Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan province. In China there are basically two types of fast food, western and Chinese. If it is Chinese fast food there is a 90% chance that it will be related to Szechuan food. Take a look at the video and let me know what you think.

The food looks fantastic and I'm really loving the rice in a huge wooden bucket!
ReplyDeleteI still have to watch the video, once my computer is adjusted. But I have heard of Szechuan food and I had no idea it was considered a Chinese fast food. That's pretty interesting. No wonder it's so tasty. hehe
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the hotpot, sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteThe hot pot sounds great! Did it have 2 kind of base soup stock?
ReplyDeleteMark: Yeah the buckets were pretty cool. Didn't see too much of that up north in Beijing.
ReplyDeleteMary: It's more like out of all the Chinese fast-food places that exist... Szechuan seems to be the most popular.
Ryan: The hotpot was delicious!
John: Actually you can choose from a number of different soup bases. But yes usually there are two.
I enjoyed the vid. I discovered this blog through TBEX. I have been to China a few times but never ventured out like you did. The food in China was not delicious...haha...I much prefer Chinese food in Japan.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be in China in two weeks and start sampling all of the fabulous food!
