We coronary heart Chengdu noodles and snacks at Li’s Chengdu Kitchen in Burwood.
Fitouts in hole-in-the-wall restos are getting fancier and schmancier. So long as the meals is nice we do not care the place we’re. There is a good steadiness right here of fresh wood strains, panda and bamboo ink type photos and uncovered brick, a mode . Easy wood tables with condiments and water useful that feels fairly welcoming.
Sichuan Spicy Noodle with Pork Gut – $15.50. We’ve been actually digging on intestines currently, the combination of the ‘what’s that funky odor’ with the OTT chilli sauce works fabulously. The broth has that oily slick that holds the warmth when you eat the noodles and polish off the remainder of the soup later, though you promised your self you would not eat all of it.
Scorching and Bitter Potato Noodle with pork mince – $13.80. As a bit distinction to the wheat noodles, the potato noodles and clear and chumpy. They’re properly reduce brief and manageable so you do not have to try to slurp them whereas concurrently streaming crimson soup throughout your self. The raft of pork mince is an intense meaty flavour, a bit goes a good distance in a spoonful, and the crisp soybean give a textural crunch.
Spicy deep fried potato chips – $5.80. We simply needed to get the chips. This model had been mushy and never so crinkled and really properly coated in a chilli crisp sauce. A Chengdu road snack we cherished after we went there (seems like 100 years in the past) the place the potatoes had been nonetheless a bit crisp, in all probability fried within the pan somewhat than deep fried.
Steamed pork meat ball with sticky rice – $8.80. A smaller model of lions mane meatballs, these tasty little golf ball sized meaty snacks had been mushy to the chew. A little bit of chilli sauce for dippage would have been an ideal addition however we ate them too shortly to think about doing that.
Fungus in home made sauce – $5.80. Crisp wooden ear fungus, nearly squeaky when bitten by means of, combined with slices of uncooked onion. The onion softened a bit within the vinegar based mostly sauce and this acted nearly like a dressing.
Steamed seasonal greens with soy sauce – $6.80. Gotta get your veg in, we adore it. A easy steamed bunch of greens for healths sake.
Kung Pao rooster with rice – $14.80. Kung Pao rooster is a type of dishes that may be a little completely different in each resto we strive it. We fairly like this one, it isn’t drowning in sugary sauce, like some others we have had, and the chooken is stir fried somewhat than deep fried.
