đ«đź In Helsinki A Sichuan restaurant I visited three times
đ¶ïž LEAF: My Go-To Sichuan Spot in Helsinki (Again and Again!) Canât stay away from this Forum Mall gemâLEAF serves up Sichuan heat thatâll make your taste buds do a happy dance! Hereâs why I keep coming back for more: đ How to Find It Head to Forum Mall, take the escalator down to level 0. Itâs right next to Pizza Hutâyou canât miss the spicy aromas! đ¶ïž đ 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 umamiâabsolute perfection đ. 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 đ. đĄ 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!" đ„€ Pro move: The blueberry juice cuts through the spiceâtry it for a "purple paradise" combo! đ° Budget-Friendly Feast Two dishes for around âŹ42 (converted from ÂŁ42)ânot bad for authentic Sichuan in Helsinki! Portions are generous, so come hungry. đ Why LEAF Is a Must-Visit Authentic Flavors: They donât hold back on Sichuan peppercorns or chiliâfinally, 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 đ). Convenient Location: Right in the mall, perfect for a post-shopping spicy fix. đž Next Time on My List Iâm dying to try their mapo tofu and dan dan noodles. Stay tuned for more spicy updates! đ¶ïž Final Thoughts: Spicy Addiction Confirmed If youâre craving real Sichuan food in Helsinki, LEAF is the spot. Just be warned: youâll probably become a regular too! #HelsinkiFood #SichuanCuisine #SpicyAddict
