Vancouver Hidden Gem | Cheng Du Street Food - Worth the Wait!
๐ 7911 Alderbridge Way, Richmond After queuing for an hour, this unassuming Sichuan spot hit us with free longan tea and sunflower seeds at the table โ and the feast that followed did NOT disappoint! ๐ฅ MUST-ORDER DISHES ๐ซ Mom's Pig Trotter Soup Collagen explosion! Fall-off-the-bone tender with red dates for sweetness. Pro tip: Drink it piping hot for maximum comfort. ๐ฅ Sichuan Crispy Tripe & Mustard Greens Textural heaven โ that crunchy tripe + numbing chili oil sauce = addictive. ๐ Boiled Beef in Chili Oil Silky slices swimming in aromatic broth โ pair with their bottomless rice bowls. Fun fact: The wobbly stools make you feel like youโre eating on a Chengdu street! ๐ง Kung Pao Chicken & Yu Xiang Pork Kung Pao: Crunchy celery + peanuts = perfect sweet-spicy balance Yu Xiang: Subtle sweetness with wok-kissed pork strips ๐ก Why Itโs Special Authentic street food vibes (plastic stools included!) Spice level: Looks scarier than it is โ more flavor than heat Leftover hack: Take the chili oil home for next-day noodles #SichuanInVan #NoFrillsFlavor
