| Fish soup, with noodles and tons of chilies. Decent. The broth was thick
from cooked-down (pork?) bones.
| The menu description for the fish soup. It translates as second
generation (di4 ' er4 dai4) Sichuan-poached-sliced-fish-in-hot-chili-oil
(shui3 zhu3 yu2).
At this restaurant, we often order its really
popular fish in hot chili oil. This is a new version of the dish, one
where we can actually drink the broth. (No one drinks the hot oil in the
other dish!)
Di Yin says the text below the entry says that the
dish recently won a gold medal award for Sichuan cooking.
| Our usual spicy dish of napa cabbage with pork and Sichuan black beans in
a claypot. Great, as always.

I previously photographed
the menu entry for the cabbage claypot dish.

| Assorted mushrooms and baby bok choy in a claypot. Oddly, the flavors
reminded me of stroganoff, though the only ingredients in common are the
mushrooms. Good.
| The menu entry for the mushrooms: assorted (shi2) bright (this word is a
superlative that often appears on menus and should be ignored) (jin3)
field/wild (ye3) mushroom (jun4) pot (bao1).

| I've walked on the overpass above Yan'an Road a number of times, and only
this time did I notice the strange traffic flow. Notice the lane
markings: there's a straight-only lane to the left of the two
left-turn-only lanes! I guess it's related to the highway off-ramp and
the ability of cars to get from where they are across two lanes of traffic
to get in the proper lane for where they want to go. Nonetheless, it's an
unusual design that I've never seen before.
