I have been back several times feeding my addiction to the Fish Filet with Napa Cabbage and Spicy Chili Sauce and have increased my spice tolerance as a result. This was good as last night I forced myself to try something different. I went with the Chengdu Fish Filet w. Pickled Green (F09 on the dine-in menu). It is marked with one chili but should really have two chilis – it was spicy! And there was nothing I could see to make it spicy (no chilis floating around) – my desultory research suggests white pepper was the spice agent. It was also pleasantly sour/astringent due to the pickled greens and contained tons of fish as well as tofu and glass noodles. Absolutely delicious.
I also ordered Minced Pork w. Sichuan Long Green Beans which they were very concerned I understood was made with pickled green beans, not fresh. It too was fabulous and also pleasantly sour/astringent from the pickled beans.
I will definitely order both again but not together as they were both quite lean as well as astringent and needed something a bit fattier and without astringency to balance them. Thinking the delectable Sichuan Double Cooked Bacon with the Cheng Du Fish and maybe my beloved Fish Filet with Napa Cabbage etc with the minced pork dish. And my leftovers will make a bunch of great lunches!!
