Candace and I decided that we should have one more meal gathering before the end of 2017. She had previously went to this restaurant (MCCB) in Chinatown upon Yeva's recommendation, and commented on the quality of the service and food there. Ozcan, Andrea, Jay (Andrea's boyfriend), Candace, Yeva and I were at the restaurant at 6.30pm, and the place was already relatively packed. Luckily, we had reserved a table, so we didn't need to wait for a table to seat all six of us. Hannah was not feeling well, and had to miss the dinner (although I did pack Dan Dan noodle for her that night).
The restaurant mainly serve Chongqing dishes, so most of the food are quite spicy. You can request that they put less chili in the dishes, but where is the fun in that! :) We ordered the following:
Cheng du spicy dumpling
Szechuan dan dan noodle
Apple wood charcoal grill whole fish
Apple wood charcoal grilllamp lamb rack
Szechuan style twice cooked pork belly
Dry chili chicken
Everything tasted great! And I couldn't give enough credit to the charcoal grilllamp lamb rack! The lamp lamb was well-done, and the Szechuan pepper gave it a spicy and fragrant twist! The other favorite was actually the Szechuan dan dan noodle. It is a very difficult job to make such a simple dish with mince pork, hot oil and noodle taste that good! Candace and Yeva especially like the grill whole fish - the fish sauce, which tasted sweet, salty and spicy all at the same time, really goes very well with the rice.
The cost for all that food was about $120 (each of us paid around $20). Overall, I would highly recommend this place, and would definitely be back again.
