We bought a car but can't legally drive it yet so we're looking for a driver. We did, however, drive it a short way to a great restaurant that serves a lot of Sichuan food. Sichuan is the province of China that is reknowned for its spicy food as you can see! We ordered chicken with chiles, lemon chicken, beef and green beans, beans with spices, steamed rolls, spring rolls, and fried potatoes with chiles and coriander. The chicken and chiles and beef/green beans were pretty spicy. The lemon chicken was wonderful--very sweet. The chunks of watermelon coated with the lemon glaze tasted like Jolly Rancher candies. For dessert we had toffee apples--apples fried in a thin breading and drenched with a caramel sugar--you speared one and lifted it out, dripping with hot sugar and dropped it into a bowl of cold water to freeze the sugar. Absolutely decadent--and delicious!
Our kids were never fond of Chinese food, so we're working on trying lots of different things so they can find things they like. Ava loved the lemon chicken, Noah the beef and beans, and Cameron the chicken and chiles. Making the dinner a big success! Mark and I thought everything was fantastic, including he price. about $35, including the drinks!
