(Lyrics - Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen)
Order spicy pot
Tasted good with the chilies
It moved a million senses in style!
Oh Bobites cried
Sang along, who'd blame me
I ate
(You ate up)
So full
(So full up)
Now I must eat more than ever
(Chengdu Delight)
Toora loora toora loo rye ay
And we can sing just like Bo Bites does
Chengdu Delight, oh I Yelp what I mean
At this moment, you mean everything
With garlic spinach, my thoughts I confess
Mellow on Spicy!
Ah Chengdu Delight!
At first sight from outside this place didn't seem to uplifting....especially next to a Little Caesars Pizza joint; I'm not judging here cause I'll eat the hell out of a Little Caesars pizza!
Once I walked in things got a little different. I totally dig the water fountain bridge upfront and the grand piano in the main room. Decors on the wall are sparse and could improve while the red lanterns is a must. I hope the keep this up and make sure they dust!
My friends and I started with some Pork Pancakes and continued with ordering the Garlic Spinach, and Spicy Fish Filet. I went for the Spicy Hot Pot. The Pork Pancakes were okay; It reminded me of the soupy dumplings because the pork inside was like a soupy meat within a floury bun; but I still prefer soupy dumplings haha! One of my favorites of the night was the Garlic Spinach, cooked to perfection with the right amount of sweet and saltiness to the crunch! I only had one bite of the fish filet, but thought it well cooked again and loaded with some chilis made this dish a spicy pop; I think a tad too much. My hot pot came with beef, chicken, shrimp and a load of bean sprouts. Well presented and definitely could have served two people easily. I think next time I would tone down the spice level since I ordered medium and my tongue was on fire! The rice helped leveled it out.
Overall, service here was on top of things when I visited and was very helpful. The place was aesthetically great to look at and in the end the food was cooked right to what you'd expect of Sichuan cuisine! - Enjoy!
