🇫🇮 In Helsinki A Sichuan restaurant I visited three times

🌶️ LEAF: My Go-To Sichuan Spot in Helsinki (Again and Again!) Can’t stay away from this Forum Mall gem—LEAF serves up Sichuan heat that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance! Here’s why I keep coming back for more: 📍 How to Find It Head to Forum Mall, take the escalator down to level 0. It’s right next to Pizza Hut—you can’t miss the spicy aromas! 🌶️ 🍚 What to Order (Trust Me) Spicy Pepper Chicken This dish is fire! Crispy fried tofu mixed with tender chicken, all coated in a numbing Sichuan peppercorn sauce. Each bite is a balance of heat, numbing, and umami—absolute perfection 😋. Pickled Pepper Frog Legs A bit milder than the chicken, but still packed with flavor. The pickled peppers add a tangy kick, and the frog legs are surprisingly tender. Not my fave, but solid 👍. 💡 Pro Tip: Bring Your Own Drinks! I had leftover milk and blueberry juice, so I asked the boss lady if I could drink them. She said, "Of course!" 🥤 Pro move: The blueberry juice cuts through the spice—try it for a "purple paradise" combo! 💰 Budget-Friendly Feast Two dishes for around €42 (converted from £42)—not bad for authentic Sichuan in Helsinki! Portions are generous, so come hungry. 🌟 Why LEAF Is a Must-Visit Authentic Flavors: They don’t hold back on Sichuan peppercorns or chili—finally, real spice in Finland! Friendly Vibes: The staff is super chill, and the boss lady is always happy to chat (even about bringing your own drinks 😂). Convenient Location: Right in the mall, perfect for a post-shopping spicy fix. 📸 Next Time on My List I’m dying to try their mapo tofu and dan dan noodles. Stay tuned for more spicy updates! 🌶️ Final Thoughts: Spicy Addiction Confirmed If you’re craving real Sichuan food in Helsinki, LEAF is the spot. Just be warned: you’ll probably become a regular too! #HelsinkiFood #SichuanCuisine #SpicyAddict
