Well, the Midweek Supper Group headed off to the Red Chilli which serves Szchuan food. We started off outside, but as the number of people increased we had to get a bigger table and moved inside. It serves what all people in China outside of Szchuan think Szchuan food is like. Actually I think I learned that Szchuan is not the proper name for it, but I cannot remember what the proper name is. The oily food was good. Some dishes I particularly liked was the pig ears, which I think was not only the best Pig Ears I have had, but also the best dish of the night. I know we had Kung Po chicken. There was an egg plant dish. Keith who organised the food certainly knows his stuff. I think, from the way he talks, he may be a chef. But he was on the other side of the table so I did not get a chance to ask. The only dish that I though was hot was the chicken which was mostly fried chillies. When I hit a bit of chilli flesh rather than the skin, then it was hot. But not unbearably so.

The others did not want to have desert there and we headed with a slightly smaller group to Passion Flower (I think). I was quite impressed with the deserts and had sesame ice cream with grass jelly and condensed milk. It was delightful.
