shanghai: Sichuan Citizen

for all you spicy food lovers.

we ate contemporary sichuan cuisine during our visit to shanghai last week.

you can hardly tell what each dish is, because its covered in hot peppers!!! i suffered quite a bit.

this was deep fried spicy chicken.

this dish is called “water boiled fish.” with tons of spicy oils, red peppers, and sichuan peppercorns- bite into one of these on accident and your mouth will be numbed for a good ten minutes.. which i did. they serve coconut milk, which helps cool + counter the effect of the “ma-la” numbness.

mini bread/bun bowls to fill..

so much heat in one sitting!!
