🍖 A Tale of Two Cities | This Restaurant Made Me Rethink Pork... 🐷💭

I’m still not sure if this place is called “A Tale of Two Cities,” “Panda Heaven,” or “369 BBQ” on Google Maps… but what I am sure of is — it’s been a while since a meal made me laugh out loud. Literally. 😂 Let’s start with the Mao Xue Wang (blood and tripe stew). It had… shrimp. 🍤 And not just any shrimp — the kind you find in the frozen aisle next to fish balls. Was it a bold “Shanghai-style Sichuan” twist? 🤔 I played it cool, but inside I was wondering… what even is Shanghai-style Sichuan cuisine? Then came the Yan Du Xian (a classic Shanghainese soup). I missed trying it last month in Shanghai, so I thought — today’s the day! And wow… it did not disappoint. 🐗 The pork in this soup had… a presence. A strong, unforgettable… aroma. Let’s just say it stole the show — and the air. 😶‍🌫️ We joked that maybe: It was a stud pig 🐖 It came from Gao Lao Zhuang (from Journey to the West) Or maybe it was Zhu Bajie himself! 🌙 That pork was so powerfully memorable, the other dishes seemed to fade into the background. I couldn’t even focus on them — but maybe, just maybe… they were decent? 🥲 So if you: Miss the legendary pig from The Legend of Pig Are curious what a stud pig tastes like Wonder what “Shanghai-style Sichuan” could mean Or simply want to explore the outer limits of culinary adventure… …then this restaurant — and this pork — are for you. 🚀 #LifeInTheUS #DallasEats #SichuanFood #AdventurousEats #PorkLoversUnite #FoodMemories
