| Post subject: sichuan food in Pudong |
so, as my son is having a sleep over in a friend's house we decided to go for Sichuan food tomorrow (he doesn't like hot food).
Can someone tell me a good place to go in Pudong? I heard that there's a good one at Thumb Plaza, is it true?
thanks a lot! |

Way too far out now from Poo-dong but when i was there, there was a place on Pudong Avenue about 5 mins walk from Hotel Eton. Its easy to spot as its the only decent sized restaurant you will find on that street. I guess its next to a bank (CCB maybe).
Great food, ok service.
Sorry it was too long before so can neither remember the name of the place nor the street name.
And oh yeah, they do dinners and are almost empty during lunchtime. |

Only been to one Sichuan place in Thumb Plaza; it was called 香辣川菜馆 or something equally generic, next to a Korean place. Wasn't anything special though, so I'd hardly recommend it. Nothing wrong with the place, just a bit average...
There's a Sichuan place on something like the 9th floor of Times Square or whatever it's called on Zhangyang Lu, near Babaiban; bit more expensive, but pretty good. Sorry those details are a bit useless, but it's been a while... |

South Beauty (Ba Bai Ban) or Tony G's (Minsheng rd/Dingxiang Rd) are 2 other possibilities. The Tom Thumb places are pretty average (there's one across from the Korean near the Greek place). I'd say go somwhere nicer if just 2 of you. |

thanks! will take a look at both places , Times Square and Babaiban.
I don't know why, but Tony G's seems good, but will always remind me of a hair dresser! (Tony and Guys)  |

If I can suggest, Iara...
Tony G is not really better than a fast food...
I have lived in Zhangyang Road for a full year, and my wife is from Yunnan, so she is picky about spicy food...
Our very regular restaurant was on Zhangyang road, just before Babaiban...
I dont have the name card here in Taipei, and my wife is out shopping now, but I can explain you how to go there.
On the same side as babaiban, at the corner just after the haoledi KTV, your will see a big entrance with stairs of abt 10 steps, huge double glass door, you take the elevator to the 5 th floor, I think in english it is called Legend restaurant...
when you get ot of the restaurant, it is on your left hand (on the rightside, a svery small hot pot place)
try to get a table near the window...
I recommend you the cold big noodles with peanuts and spicy BBQ sauce, the cold chicken, spicy BBQ beef sticks, and the best is the steamed fish with chilis and one kind of crazy asparagus minced and placed under the fish. Vegetables: best is he green small cai stai with black mushrooms
A very nice dessert is a kind of iced mango sticky cake sold by 6...
With a Tsingtao beer, for 2 and really very full, damage is about 140-150 RMB...
I will try to get my wife to scan their name card tonight... |

thanks Totomolo, I really don't know much about sichuan food, only that it's spicy! After more than 4 years here I never got a chance to try it (with my son, impossible!).
but we don't like cold dishes...neither we eat fish in China...outside China we can eat fish everyday, but here it tastes strange...
I like the idea of noodles, peanut and spicy sauce, but it's really cold?
I once tried a kind of Sichuan style food, not so spicy really, but it was good: spicy eggplants and shreded pork with vegetables and chillies, quite good!
we brazilians are meat eaters, so anything with beef, chicken and pork and chillies will be great! but not cold!!!
And off course, with a tsingtao beer, perfect!!
I think I know how to find this place, is the corner before Babaiban, same block that the eletronic mall, right? |

Ok Iara...as promised.
I attach the name card of the sichuan restaurant in zhangyang road.(in pudong is first address, No.579 Zhangyang rd, 5 F)
I am sure you will find several dishes with beef, to fit your taste.
the rice noodles with peanuts and chili, it is an appetizer...
there is another starter which is tofu sheets with chili
In case one day you are in Puxi, as we go very seldom to Pudong now, we got used to this other sichuan restaurant called Wei Qu in Huangpu, just abt 10 mn from People square by taxi...The beef stew in chili sauce is great..also the BBQ sticks..and one cold dish with beef and fresh egg tofu as starter
Place is noisier and sometimes, too much cigarette smoke, but food is great, and always crazy busy until 9pm..if you want go, better reserve and ask for a table near the windows..(avoid the back of the restaurant, too close to kitchen and bathroom, and avoid the upper floor, ceiling too low , cannot breath well)
I will post pics of food next post, my wife found and sent me the food pics online... |

pics of sichuan food
Cold noodles with peanuts and chili
potato with beef stew (we often order this and take it home too, when lazy to cook)
dessert kind of iced mango sticky cake sold by 6...
Hope the cook will still be the same, no matter which restaurant you choose.
Sometimes, the cook changes and the food is not as great as 6 months before
Enjoy your dinner |

Hi Iara,
You might want to give Ba Guo Bu Yi restaurant a try. It's really authentic and offers very delicious dishes. One of the specialties not offered anywhere else is Roasted Rabbit Head. Yeah, sounds unappetizing but it is a Chengdu speciality. The restaurant has a very solid reputation. The food is really fabulous. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
Near the Purple Mountain Hotel on Weifang Lu/Century Avenue. |
