 今日は辛いものが食べたくなって、本当はお気に入りの四川料理のお店、老四川へ行こうと思ったのですが、そこまでいくのがめんどくさくて近所にある四川レストラン、Chili Garden (川王府) へ行ってきました。Tonight I craved something spicy and wanted to go to our favorite Sichuan restaurant, Sichuan Gourmet, but were too tired to drive there and settled for Chili Garden near our home. |
 本当は豚の耳 (紅油耳片) を食べたかったのですが品切れで、代わりに勧められた牛タンのチリオイル和え (椒麻牛舌) を頼んでみました。まずくはないけど味に深みがなくていまいち。I first ordered the pig ear with chili sauce, but it was not available and our waiter recommended this dish instead - the beef tongue with chili oil. It was not bad, but it tasted just spicy and lacked the depth of flavor. |
 寒かったのでスープを飲んで温まろうとワンタン入りのスープ (酸辣抄手) も注文。見た目はすご~く辛そうですが、飲んでみるとそれほどでもありませんでした。Since it was very cold tonight, I wanted to have a big bowl of warm soup and ordered the wonton soup with chilisauce and vinegar. It looked very spicy, but actually it was not as spicy as it looked. |
 筍のごま油和え (香油鮮筍尖)。これは普通においしい。The bamboo shoots with sesame oil. This was good. |
 これは私達のお気に入り、きのこと豚肉の炒め物 (雞腿菌炒肉絲)。This dish was our favorite, the wild drumstick mushroom with pork. |
 これは台湾にもあるお料理で夫の好物 (螞蟻上樹)。でも使ってある麺は台湾では緑豆からできたものらしいのですが、ここのはライスヌードルだといって憤慨していました。私は一口食べてなんか洗剤みたいなへんな匂いがしたのでそれ以上は食べませんでした。ここへ来たのは久しぶりでしたがやっぱり老四川には遠く及びません...。This dish (rice noodle with miced pork) is available in Taiwan as well and one of my husband's favorite spicy dishes. But here, rice noodle was used instead of green bean noodle which is generally used in the Taiwan version of the dish, and he was quite upset... We had't been here for a quite long time and were expecting some improvement, but we still prefer Sichuan Gourmet! |
