柴門頭啖湯 [Bavindoor (first sip) soup], Yanlord Landmark mall, Chengdu, China

The shop was very near to the hotel I stayed.  The waitress was very kind to explain the menu pages and let us take time to check for the dishes.  So we ordered a guard leaves in chilled soy sauce, Ma Po bean curd, roasted duck in Sze Chuan spicy sauce. double boiled pear with pork, Dan Dan noodle and a steamed bun with chopped veggie and dried bean curd.  A bit interesting that all the dishes weren't that heavily seasoned but rather in an intrigue pepper flavour.  Very different from those we had in HK and other Asian places.  The closer one is the Kiki restaurant of Taipei.  Another delight was the peanuts.  It was surprisingly good and well deserving as 天府花生 (heaven residence peanuts).  The meal was so nice that I came back for a second visit before leaving Chengdu.
