Food: Flaming flavors in generous portions

Chengdu Taste's Toothpick Lamb with Cumin stands out with its savory aroma and exquisitely balanced spices. The Fish and Green Pepper Soup is a delight with its non-oily broth and tender fish.

Despite a few reported use of fried and outdated ingredients, the creativity of unique dishes like rabbit and kidney, the taste levels in these dishes, and the very positive, generous portions are laudable.
