This Spicy Tofu Fish at American Dream Won Me Over! 🌶️🐟

Finally visited the American "Wanda Plaza" over the break—layout feels like a classic Chinese mall, with dining and entertainment all under one roof (though store variety could be better). Tried the new Sichuan spot Szechuan Opera—nice atmosphere, but seemed short-staffed. 👉 Couple’s Beef Offal Beef shank and tripe—meaty and firm, but needed extra vinegar and chili oil to shine. Wondered if they forgot the seasoning! 🥩🧂 👉 Sichuan Cured Pork One bite and I knew it was right! Savory cured pork with crisp garlic sprouts—not greasy, perfect over rice. 🥓🍚 👉 Spicy Tofu Fish Delicious! Reminded me of Chengdu Yipin’s version (though their quality varies). Tender fish with soft tofu—wish it were spicier! 🌶️🍲 🍹 Drinks weren’t worth it—saw them being mixed from powder right at the counter (fully transparent, but not appealing). 📍 Szechuan Opera 1 American Dream Wy STE A318, 3rd Floor, East Rutherford, NJ 07073 💵 ~$40 per person #AmericanDreamNJ #SichuanFood #ComfortFood #NJFoodie #MatataEats #MallEats #SpicyLovers #NYCFoodScene #FlavorTrip #MustTryNJ #FoodieFind
