More on Spicy & Tasty
I previously blogged about Flushing restaurant Spicy & Tasty. I went back and got some different dishes this week. As usual, it was all very good. This place uses real Sichuan peppercorns, which means that not only is the food spicy, it also has this strange mouth-numbing taste. Pictures after the jump.
So, I got a certain type of boiled dumpling, soaked in red chili oil. I love this type of dumpling, and this one manages to be elegant in appearance, but with a straightforward, rustic taste at the same time.
I also got some cold Sichuan noodles. A classic to try at any Sichuan place. The noodles here were very good.
I also had a slightly different kind of cold jelly than I had the last time. This one had the distinction of having a huge amount of raw garlic on top. The spiciness, numbingness, and bite from the garlic was quite exciting to my palate, but this is only recommended to those who can stomach so much garlic.
Finally, there was the cold, spicy bamboo, which had the familiar spicy taste that all these dishes had, plus a refreshing texture.
