HOLY MOTHER OF GOD. If you want to test your limits to spicy food, hands down, there is NO OTHER place.
I come from a long standing history of eating spicy foods. A friend who lives here randomly decided to take us, saying that they had really good chicken. We thought, hey, why not, most French foods have not been so great so why not give a stab at Chinese.
You walk in here and there are seriously only Chinese people inside. I found out that the food is Shezhuan style. I couldn't even understand a single thing on the menu, as it was all in French or Chinese. My friend ordered all the food for us.
Poulet o la sauce picante- 5 stars. Wow, this is some steamed chicken type dish with some slightly spicy sauce on a bed of bean sprouts. Only 9.8 Euros and it was the highlight of our trip. The chicken was SOO flavorful and PERFECTLY cooked. I was honestly blown away and want to say that I've had some really awesome Hainan chicken in the past, but this dish blew it out of the water to the next level.
Grilled peppers- 3.5 stars. This was so spicy i only ate one. My mouth was on fire. Only for the hardcore.
Crazy spicy soup with different meats inside- 5 stars. Yeah, so, this was absolutely spicy and delicious. You have to scoop out the meat bits inside. I noticed no Chinese person around me was scooping and drinking the broth. Stupid me, asked for a spoon, and poured this sauce over my rice and took a bite. What followed is unprecedented in my history of eating spicy foods. My tongue went through this strange shock mode, like my tongue went numb as thought it had been electrocuted. I suddenly had this strange metallic taste take over my mouth. And then it took a good 10 minutes for all this to subside. It was absolutely weird. Just don't drink the broth.
Hands down the best meal we had in France was unfortunately, and fortunately, at this restaurant. Who would have known...and I have never had food like this anywhere else in the world. I hope they can bring this to America or something so I can eat it more often. read more
