China Tour pt 3

This was the day before the 60th anniversary of China's independence, everyone was on holiday and the streets were packed... after the show we went to eat a Chengdu Hot Pot- basically a big bowl of boiling soup in the middle of the table that you dip anything and everything in, Zani's 1/2 Filipino so the pigs brain wasn't an issue. Everything is served under a mountain of Chili, you really dont know about hot food til youve eaten in Szechuan region. Aprt form the chili, garlic, and peppers, they have these Szechuan peppers that leave your mouth numb with a pepperminty aftertaste. They're illegal to bring into the States. NN
