Buy advertised Goods — Do not accept substitutes 457 The Silver Lining Extremists There was once a young maiden named Rose,Fond of Fashions extreme furbelows; And a new silhouette Though she knew silly, yetShe would straightway adopt if she chose. So by freaks which old Dame Fashion hath,Rose would sometimes seem thin as a lath, In some style like the willow; Then again, like a pillow,She would look as she walked down^the path. When it came to the waist-line, ah, me!You could never tell where hers might be; For one day it would soar, And the next it would lower,From perhaps F in alt to low G. And no wonder it was, I suppose,At the Opera, then, all the beaus Who regard with esteem, Girls who wear the extreme,At the sight of Miss Rose, rose in rows! —Blanche Elizabeth Wade.

The crew below, all in oilskinsnow, are lying at ease, some catchinga few minutes sleep, others playingcards or looking on; and so it is for anhour or more, when from aloft theskipper shouts, Keep her off!Promptly the helmsman obeys, andour course veers slightly.

重庆辣子鸡 Chongqing Spicy Chicken – Dainty Sichuan

重庆辣子鸡 Chongqing Spicy Chicken – Dainty Sichuan AUD24.90

3-chillies hot!


It’s nice to see that they took the care to spruce up the decor with lots of dark wooden panels. "Spruce" get it? 😛

Even better is the fact that the familiar spicy Sichuan aromas smack you in the face as soon as you walk in. Faced with a dozen diners waiting patiently in line, I rock up to the counter to pick up the all important numbered ticket to ensure that I’m not lost in the queue!

The food here couldn’t be better. The flavours here are more spicy than 巴国布衣 Tooraking, but also more subtle. The 重庆辣子鸡 Chongqing Spicy Chicken is not just chillies studded with fried chicken, there’s also subtle hints of ginger, coriander and sesame seeds that work very well. Never mind that it is 3-chillies hot!

On the other hand, the 辣酱熏鱼 Spicy Smoked Fish was packed with Sichuan Peppers which numbs and gives you tingles in your mouth. 麻辣 "Ma La" (numbing spicyness) it most certainly is. Julia thought that the fish was a bit too fishy., even though it is evenly scored to allow the flavours to infuse through.

The 麻辣凉粉 Spicy Bean Jelly had the most wonderful sauce. It was a great balance of warmth from the chillies, tingly from the Sichuan peppers, savoury from probably a good bean paste, and loads of garlic. I ended up mopping it up with rice. 🙂
