Though not very hungry, we couldn’t resist trying this place. It serves modern Chinese cuisine inspired by Din Tai Fung. Interestingly, we were the only Asians among both guests and staff. We ordered: Sichuan Spicy Chicken 🌶️ Grilled Trout with Spicy Sauce 🐟 Dry-Fried Shahe Noodles 🍜 The flavor was impressive and well worth the price. ☕ Cafe: Double D's Coffee & Dessert A super photogenic double-decker bus café! Both popular and Insta-worthy 🚌💕. (Check my other post for more details!) 🍨 Dessert Spot: Kilwin's Chocolates, Fudge, Ice Cream We were drawn in by the laughter and happy chatter at the entrance. We tried the waffle bowls with Chocolate Toasted Coconut and Mint Chocolate Chips — rich, authentic, and absolutely delicious! 🧁😋 #Asheville #NorthCarolina #TravelUSA #AmericanSouth #StreetPhotography
