18/05/2025: Excellent food spicy and tasty
Reasonable price
Perfect if you had enough of pastas and pizzas
14/05/2025: A Chinese restaurant near Milano Centrale Station, leaving Italy the next day, but eating enough Italian food to decide on Chinese food for dinner. I ate so satisfyingly that I gained a lot of energy.
Chongqing food refers to food from Chongqing, one of the four major municipalities in China. It is not as well known as Shandong, Guangdong, and Sichuan cuisine, but Chongqing is the birthplace of the famous Mala hotpot.
However, I did not order hotpot that day, and I looked through the menu carefully and ordered whatever caught my eye. Pickled cucumbers, which are a side dish and can also be enjoyed with alcohol, came out first, and I liked how they were filled to the brim.
Cucumbers were soaked in the vinegar, and they were really crunchy and refreshing, and the sourness was so strong that it made my head hurt. Instead, a few drops of chili oil were added to balance out the spicy flavor.
The beef fried rice that followed was actually made with veal, not beef, but that wasn't important. It was just good because the rice grains were chewy. It was really well-fried and settled perfectly on my tongue.
The liver was not salty like European food, but it was savory and savory as if it had been made with lard, so it wasn't unpleasant. As is the case with most Chinese fried rice, it was a drinking snack and it tasted even better when served with other dishes.
The pork belly that I ordered, Hui Guo Rou (raw meat), had good meat quality, a lot of meat, and it was so savory that it stuck to my mouth. Not only the pork belly, but also the vegetables such as green onions and onions had a good oily and smoky flavor.
Honestly, I thought it would be somewhat suited to the tastes of locals, but it wasn't at all, so I was surprised. It was more than enough for a Chinese restaurant in Korea.
I remember the last one, Lazji, being the spiciest, but it wasn't too spicy unless you chewed the fried chili peppers. As I ate, I felt my lips getting numb, and the chicken was salty.
The chicken was cut into small pieces and fried, and it had a crunchy texture that disappeared quickly in my mouth, and then a spicy flavor came up. It was not strong, but it was addictive and went well with beer.
Although I couldn't communicate well, the staff were so kind that I had a more enjoyable meal, and the price was very reasonable. I heard that a lot of Koreans come here, and it was funny that the staff knew all about bomb shots.
