Sichuan Food

Hi,

If I remember correctly, I was told by Red Chilli that their chef is from Beijing. The menu extends further than Sichuan dishes and whilst good, it's not authentic Sichuanese - more the Beijing take on it.

In other news, apart from my discovery 'Blue Thames', there are two other London restaurants now apparently doing Sichuanese food. I'll report further when I've visited them.

All the best,

That sounds about right. The descriptions on the menu make it clear there is a Beijing influence as well as Sichuan.

Either way, I can't remember the last time I ate such exciting and tasty Chinese food. Well worth a trip if you're in the area.

Cheers

Thom

It's all true... I admit to being the MD of Holden Media, organisers of the Northern Restaurant and Bar exhibition, the Northern Hospitality Awards and other Northern based events too numerous to mention.

I don't post here as frequently as I once did, but to hear me regularly rambling on about bollocks - much of it food and restaurant-related - in a bite-size fashion then add me on twitter as "thomhetheringto".

Enough already. I am bringing this trip forward. :biggrin:

Loved Jay's description of the Spicy Hot Poached lamb. That alone is enough to get me there.

I am insanely jealous. I was in Beijing two weeks ago (clang!) and had the eel and chili dish that Jay mentions in a Sichuan restaurant there and was blown away. Must get down to Blue Thames sometime soon.

Well, that's one of the restaurants I'm aiming to visit (and refer to above). The other is Sichuan Restaurant in Churchfield Road, W3.

Blue Thames have moved their Sichuan dishes onto the main menu and mixed them up with Cantonese dishes. Personally, I think this was a mistake.

All the best,
