Food adventure in Chengdu, China

I have to confess that I didn't plan a trip like this at first. However, things always change. The first day I visited Qingcheng mountain. Basically, I intended to climb to the top and take a cable way back to the gate. Unfortunately, I didn't know the that was being fixed until I reached the top. So I had no choice but walked down to the sea level. My legs were so wasted after 6 hours non-stop climbing with my 20kg photography equipment. This turned my trip into a food adventure, coz I couldn't really walk for a long distance in the rest of the days in Chengdu. Here we go!

(1) Sichuan hot pot

I met my friend Rui in the city centre. He is my classmate in Manchester, a local Sichuan guy. So where he took me to must be the more authentic one. 

It's sooooooo good! Compared with its taste, the massive spices in it are not big deals.

(2) Normal Noodles.

This is my breakfast. I definitely asked for a bowl of boiled noodles. And they gave me this. I almost cried when I saw it at first.

（3）Another breakfast

I apologize my unprofessional behavior. too lazy to get this pic right. The thing looks like bread is called 锅盔. there are beef in it. It goes the best with the thing on the bottom, named 肥肠粉. It's kind of rice noodles and something you don't really wanna know.

（4）伤心凉粉

Donno how to translate it. People gave the thing this name because it's really spicy and makes people cry. I didn't feel the same way.

(5) Lazy afternoon tea

（6）夫妻肺片

The Chinese name includes liver, but actually there is no that part of meat in it.

(7) Sichuan famous snacks

担担面，龙抄手 and 钟水饺。For me, they are spicy but sweet noodles, dumplings and dumplings, respectively.

(8) Sichuan rost fish

It's not really rosted.

(9) 三大炮

Rice snack with brown suger. When people are making this, they always make the noise like a bomb.

In sum, It's weird that I didn't feel sichuan food is spicy for my, despite I have no tolerance for chilli. Perhaps, I'm too old to feel it. Scarlett, come to china. Food here can cheer you up.

Aftermath

A bit bored after finishing my internship in China daily. Became a nerdy boy who wouldn't even go out of his home for one week again. Keep learning some financial stuff without any efficiency. Sigh, time for travelling again. The destination will be Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan province of china WITH MY CAMERA!

This is what I'm doing right now. Wanna have some gin?

Should have posted this blog three weeks ago. But since I've been busy with job hunting, I think it's ok to talk about my trip now.

I don't feel like posting too many pics, despite I have some. I wasn't allowed to take my Cannon with me, because it's too professional. That makes sense for a misery country. But it turns out I have no interest using my mom's tiny camera. Here is the one I reckon can show the impressive side of the capital city of North korea. Maybe I'll be assassinated by some spies by posting bad views.

In general, some big city views are quite nice. And I didn't even lose any weight after 4 days trip. The food is tasty there, especially the spice source. I heard that they can be arranged into companies when they finish uni. They may save a lot of energy on job hunting. I should be jealous on this part. Anyway, it was a great adventure though. At least I've been North korea in my life and saw early 1980s view before I was born in china.

Well, this week, I'm gonna know the arrangement of my job and all the things before next year will be solid. Good luck for you all!
