Finding authentic Sichuan or Szechuan food in Klang Valley is certainly not an easy task. Having traveled to various places in China before, both Saucer and I are especially attracted to the hot and spicy Szechuan cuisine. This style of Chinese cuisine, originating from the Sichuan province of China, has an unmistakable pungent and bold flavour, particularly a numbing spiciness that is a result of liberal use of garlic, chili and peppercorn. Incidentally, the people in Sichuan eat a lot of hot peppercorn to counter the effect of continuous humidity experienced in the province. One fine evening, the thought of having Sichuan cuisine came across my mind. Apart from the relatively high-class Sichuan Dou Hua restaurant, we didn’t know of any other Sichuan restaurants around.

Some people call it “Steamboat”, some call it “Hot Pot”, and some even call it “Chinese Fondue”. No matter which term is used, Steamboat is affectionately known as “Da Pin Lou” in Cantonese, and is a well-loved activity among a group of friends or family. Usually eaten during the night when the weather is cooler, steamboat is easy to make since only raw ingredients need to be prepared with little or no work beforehand. The most important item is a metal pot filled with soup of your liking, placed at the centre of the table. The pot of soup is then placed on top of burning flame and food is then slowly but surely cooked on the spot.
