Very overrated. After a year in China you quickly go through the gamut of what's available. And that's if you don't judge a cuisine by the accompanying dining experience-in which case, one week until exhaustion. Copycat menus. Nauseating decor. Tragic service. Dirty and dubious ingredients. Put it this way, were you restricted to a single culture's type of restaurant for every meal until death, then Italian or Japanese or Spanish or Thai or French...all preferable; few would choose Chinese, much less Sichuan.

That Hong She beef fat hotpot is a bomb! One friend of mine in Cheng du took me there when i was on the trip in Chengdu. I guess the reason that the restaurant offers couple of things to bring down the spiciness is the fact that : 1 local people barely need them, they crave that intensity of heat, but non-locals need them:) .2 People really enjoy the the satisfaction and joy as soon as the spicy ingredients go in, they and they also wanna cut out the sensation when the spiciness kick in. Bringing it down in the first place might bring down the satisfaction.

That's actually how chilli food works, more chilli you taste, more you want to eat. Because chilli is actually a sense of pain instead of flavour, that's why you will have burning A hole next day...while anus can't taste anything, but it can feel the pain......... Anyways, our brain will generate dopamine to ease the "pain" from chilli, so more you eat, more dopamine brain gives, it's like getting high without actually high....my English vocabulary is too poor to explain this, but you get the point.

Personal Opinion: The reason why people in Chengdu and Chongqing (even Wuhan) are eating so much spicy food is because of the moisture level of these areas are higher than others, so that people have to eat spicy food to “sweat out” the moist (湿气, correct me if I’m wrong). Like you said, spicy is pain rather than taste. No matter how many ways you trying to reduce the spicy level, the damage was done already so it won’t stop you from sweating. That’s why people are inventing so many ways to reduce the spicy level rather than marking the hotpot less spicy. Otherwise the moist will still be trapped in your body.

Since it's almost nothing in it, it has almost no calories. It's a heathy dessert. Just beware of the toppings, those tiny sweeties could cause over amount of sugar.

1. Try this dipping when having hotpot that brings down the spiciness: Sesame Oil+Oyster sauce+scallion+Coriander(optional)+garlic+salt 2. Actually the major difference between Chengdu hotpot and Chongqing hotpot is, we normally use canola oil to make the soup base while people in Chongqing use oil extracted from beef fat. 3. Bingfen won’t do harm to your body and try Lianggao next time when having spicy food 😏

I know Bingfen is made from a plant seed but I didn’t know what that plant is. Just looked up and found out the tree is native of Peru, actually it’s English name is Apple-of-Peru. Bingfen is just water, starch and lime (not the lemon lime but the lime makes tofu clots), I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have all the magical functions but won’t do you any harm either.

Hi, Amy, I'm a Chongqinger in Sydney, dreaming of my Bingfen every night, good news Bingfen is healthy, Bingfen is made of a kind of fruit seeds(looks similar to chia seed) we normally call it Bingfen fruit. To produce Bingen, they put Bingfen seeds in a yarn bag, then violently rub the seeds in a bucket of water until the water thickens. In this step, we rub the seeds' essence into the water, then we drop in some edible lime to solidify the thickened water. Then you have a bucket of Bingfen Jelly now! Nice and easy, There are vendors on Taobao that sell Bingfen seeds, suggest having a video 'Amy handmade Bingfen' lol
