Finally Ate Delicious Sugar Oil Baba in Chicago! 😭

📍 Hunan Cuisine I’m not from Hunan, but I absolutely love sugar oil baba — and I finally found a delicious version in Chicago! The restaurant was filled with tables of aunties and uncles, so I knew it had to be legit. 🌶️ As spice lovers, we ordered everything extra spicy!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🔥 Hunan-Style Stir-Fried Pork Wok hei overload!! So aromatic and perfect with rice. 🍄 Dry Pot Tea Tree Mushrooms OMG, it’s been so long since I had tea tree mushrooms — just keep eating it with rice and meat, no stopping! 🐔 Tujia-Style Pickled Long Beans with Chicken Gizzards Ordered out of curiosity — my girlfriend loved it! The sour beans infused the gizzards with so much flavor, super tasty and rice-worthy. 🍚 Hunan Fried Rice — MUST ORDER You can tell the skill — glossy, rich with wok aroma, pairs perfectly with the spicy dishes. 🐮 Husband and Wife Lung Slices Pretty standard — skip if you prefer hot, rice-pairing dishes. The restaurant is spacious with large tables (even round ones for groups). Even before peak hours, we saw families and friends gathering here. After just one visit, we’ve already decided to become regulars! #InternationalStudents #StudentLifeStruggles #ChicagoFoodie #ChiEatsGuide #Fantuan
