Boston | Four-hour-long pangolin ride

đŸŒ¶ïž Mountain House : Boston’s Sichuan Gem—Spicy, Satisfying, with a Few Kinks Grabbed a couple of random dishes on a whim, and wow—this spot delivers on flavor and value. Generous portions, friendly service, but fair warning: lines get long. Pro move? Grab a number around 2 PM, wander, and come back—worth the wait. Oh, and that “mildly spicy” label? My stomach disagreed the next morning
 you’ve been warned. đŸ”„ The Standouts (Order These First) Braised Spicy Chicken (Shao Ji Gong) 🍗: Table favorite, hands down. Tons of tender, juicy chicken in a fiery, aromatic sauce—spicy enough to tingle, but not overwhelming. We even recommended it to the table next to us (they thanked us later). Mapo Tofu 🧈: My personal obsession. Rich, numbing, and packed with umami—way better than most versions in town. The only catch? A hint of ginger (love it, but worth noting if you’re sensitive). Osmanthus Coconut Panna Cotta with Sago 🌾: Perfect for cooling the burn. Creamy coconut jelly mixed with chewy sago, drizzled with sweet osmanthus syrup. Unique, refreshing, and just a little too sweet—but who’s complaining after spicy food? 😐 The “Meh” Dishes Yibin Burning Noodles: Decent flavor, but served cold (it’s supposed to get a hot oil drizzle at the end—missed that step here). Tasted more like regular cold noodles. Skip unless you’re craving carbs. Sichuan Pepper Fish: Disappointing. The fish itself was plentiful, but it lacked that signature numbing spice (not enough ). Worse, it came out cold—had to send it back to reheat. Points for portion size, but not worth ordering again. 💡 The Good, the Bad, and the Tips Pros: Amazing jasmine tea (refreshing, not bitter!), huge portions, and that chicken dish alone makes it worth visiting. Cons: No takeout (they say it slows down the kitchen—would’ve appreciated a heads-up). Cold fish was a letdown. Pro Move: Ask for extra spice if you can handle it—their “medium” is milder than expected (until the next day
). 📍 Mountain House : A solid Sichuan spot with highs that outweigh the lows. Go for the chicken, mapo tofu, and that coconut dessert—your taste buds (and maybe your stomach) will thank you. #BostonSichuan #SpicyFoodLovers #FoodieFinds
