🇧🇷 Chinese food | Everything is fine except it's a little far away

🏠 Mr. Lu 🗺️ R. Conselheiro Dantas, 475 - Pari, São Paulo - SP, 03032-020 Tucked near Bras, this spot’s a trek from Paulista (30+ min by taxi) and even further from Brooklyn (almost an hour). But trust me—every minute in the cab is worth it for the food 🍲. Friends who’ve been say it best: "No weak dishes here, everything slaps!" 🥢 The Feast We Devoured Spicy Crab: Tangy sauce clinging to tender crab meat, with just the right kick 🌶️ Crab & Chicken Feet Hot Pot: Rich broth where crab sweetness mingles with fall-off-the-bone chicken feet 🦀 Foil-Wrapped Enoki Mushrooms: Smoky umami from the grill, wrapped in parchment for extra juiciness Grilled Lamb Skewers: Tender chunks of meat seasoned with cumin, charred to perfection 🍢 Chilli Fish: Whole fish smothered in spicy bean paste, served on a sizzling platter Stir-Fried Greens: Simple but vibrant, crisp-tender with a garlicky finish Six of us ordered enough to fill the table—and every plate was scraped clean. My buddy swears by the fish, but I’m obsessed with those lamb skewers: each bite is a savory-sweet explosion. No exaggeration—this place nails every dish 👌. 📙 Meet the Boss Mr. Lu himself runs the show, greeting everyone with a warm smile. He’ll chat about the menu like he’s inviting you to a family dinner—total down-to-earth vibe. 🌙 Dining Vibes Indoors, there’s a tea house area with traditional decor, but the real magic is outside. The patio’s a cozy terrace with string lights, perfect for late-night grilling sessions. Just a heads-up: getting there means climbing a steep spiral staircase, so bring sturdy shoes (and help the elders!). Late-night eaters, rejoice: they take orders till 11 PM. It’s the kind of place where you can show up at 10 PM for a full feast without feeling rushed. 💰 Around 130 BRL per person (leaves you stuffed) 💰 #ExpatLife #GlobalFoodCritics #AmericasCulinaryCorner #StreetFoodExplorers #WorldwideEats
