In the last summer vacation, My friends and I are going on a trip together. Our itinerary is from Gansu to Chengdu. At first, when we arrived in Gansu, we found that the food there was mainly pasta, and because there were many Muslims living there, there was basically no pork to eat.
Our journey continued, passing through the plateau areas in southern Gansu. The temperature there is very low, which explains why our dinner is all hot pot. This time we finally had a delicious beef hotpot, compared to Suzhou’s “Haidilao” which looked very boring.
When we reached the end of our journey in Chengdu, we experienced a different kind of food. The food here is mainly spicy, caused by the special geographic feature the Sichuan Basin.
Through this travel, I saw the difference of the foods between region, and most of them are caused by the geographic differences. Although the foods are different along the travel, but they are all delicious 🙂
Woohoo! You’ve started doing some work! Better late than never!
I’m not convinced that ‘Blog Post7’ is a particularly effective choice of title.
Since the aim is to describe the exotic food, couldn’t you add some descriptive elements to enhance your mention of the beef hotpot and the different food in Chengdu? “Delicious” is a bit limited – a phase 2 student probably knows that word!
I am intrigued to know how the spicy cuisine of Sichuan is caused by the geographical feature. I always thought it was the Sichuan pepper that gave rise to the spiciness.
I could add some details of the Chengdu cuisine. I lived there for a couple of years. My 住的地方 was more or less upstairs from ‘Old Mother’s Rabbit Head Hotpot’. People came from miles around to eat that spicy stuff!
