cuisine is a hot pot. There are many " 火鍋”(means " fire pot" )
restaurants in Chengdu. There is a pot in the middle of table and you
put whatever you choose such as meat, chicken, fish and
vegetable,(literally, whatever!) into boiling broth and you eat as
they cook.
You can choose a broth base, hot chili pepper, chicken, beef, and fish
head, etc. We ordered “Red pepper oil" and white base. We have young
children so kids eat white broth base, which is not hot. As you can
see, "Red pepper oil" is beef base broth with very spicy chili oil and
hot pepper floating! We ordered slice beef, sausage, backchoy, Chinese
cabbage, mushrooms, ground shrimp, etc.
The restaurant is famous for its show as well as its hotpot. Sichuan
is known of the opera. And one of the operas has "face changing "
man. We could enjoy this wonderful face changing man while we were
eating the hot pot. Jay could see the man who changed his faces many
times in front of him. But we don't know how the man did!! Literally
the man could change his face/masks while you are blinking! I heard
it's a national secret and our Chinese friend who took us there even
didn't know how to do!! It's simply entertaining!!

ReplyDeleteReally? Where did you see that?
Jude - How did the food taste (hot pot)? Did you get to pet any animals at the zoo?
I didn't try hot broth, just a mild white broth. The food tastes very good. I ate a lot of beef that night and the beef was very soft. No, I didn't pet them.
Pearl - Have you learned any Chinese yet?
I am learning Chinese every day at school. I know very little Chinese.
Asher - Do you know how to do it (face changing)?
No, nobody knows!
Amelia - do you like it (face changing opera)?
I liked it very much.
