San Gabriel Food Notes | Spicy Bullfrog 🌶️ Authentic Chengdu Flavors

▪️ Spicy Bullfrog – Made with fresh, plump bullfrog legs 🐸, the meat is firm yet tender. As soon as the pot hits the table, that gleaming red chili oil 🥘 grabs your attention! While the bullfrog simmers in that fiery oil, the aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and spices fills the air 🌬️. Each bite is incredibly tender, wrapped in the fragrance of fermented bean paste 🔥 and the numbing kick of peppercorns 🥢—delivering an explosion of freshness, spice, tingle, and heat 💥. The balance is perfect: the numbing doesn’t overpower, and the heat doesn’t overshadow the freshness 🌪️. Coated in that aromatic spice 🌶️, it’s just the right level of spicy—even the mild version packs a punch! Enjoy it with a bowl of rice 🍚, and your soul will feel completely satisfied. ▪️ Tossed Tripe – The tripe is sliced paper-thin ⚡️, offering a crisp and springy texture. Mixed with Sichuan peppercorn oil, chili oil 🌶️, minced garlic, cilantro, and other special seasonings, the fragrance instantly takes over the table. That first bite brings a dance of numbing, spicy, tangy, and savory notes right to your tongue 😻—fiery but not overwhelming, tingly but not bitter. It’s a perfect example of Sichuan cuisine’s bold yet layered flavors. ✨ This place stays true to authentic Sichuan soul—using the freshest ingredients and traditional spices to deliver a feast of "numbing, spicy, fragrant, and fresh" sensations.
