Thai roots make me naturally love all things spicy. First time chewing on real Sichuan pepper was quite an unique experience - a combination of surprise, horror and an alarmingly wonderful self-destructive feeling of wanting more. This Sichuan hot pot is still the best hot pot I’ve ever had in my life. #chengdu #sichuan #food #hotpot #spicy #foodie
