(Lyrics - Teresa Teng - Tian Mi Mi -- if you don't know google classic Chinese Pop star!)
Tian Mi Mi
Your food is spicy as hot chili
How shang hur kai zan chun feng li
Your food is spicy as hot chili
I've wondered where on earth
Where on earth I've tasted you before?
Your taste is familiar to me
but I still can't remember where
Ah....in Chandler!
Shi ni...shi ni...Meng jian de jiu shi ni
Szechuan Palace is no palace by any means. Not to say it looks dinky or dirty, but it's a mom/pop own restaurant. Serving up classic Szechuan dishes and yes "Americanize Chinese" food too! That was totally the highlight of the night! Having that on the menu really tells my non-Asian friends what they have been eating at Panda Express or Pei Weis. Yeah they're not actually Chinese food....
Szechuan food is actually very spicy and originate from Southern China. So my expectations of spicy food was not disappointed. We ordered some "Americanized" dishes and some traditional dishes. Fried string beans, kung pao chicken, ma po tofu, pork belly, stir fried peppered steak, etc....Point it is we ordered a lot! Why? Because the prices here are dirt cheap! I totally dig a place that has food that's not over priced because of it's location or name.
Overall, Szechuan Palace serves up some pretty good Chinese cuisine. I personally don't care for spice, but if you need it because your life depends on it then this is a place for you. Pretty authentic from what I know and after a few Ching Tsao, that spicy and salty tasted is well welcomed and a great combination! - Enjoy!
