      Yeah, Mexican aboriginals are the ancestor of Chili peppers around the world. Thanks to Sichuan cuisine's adoption, now more and more people are able to enjoy Chili peppers. Sichuan and Hunan have been locking in competition who has the best Chili pepper dishes and claimed they have been Chili-spicy for thousands of years, which is completely false. Actually they have never seen or imagined how many heirloom Chili pepper varieties on this side of Pacific coast. :-)

I absolutely love Sichuan food, my favourites are boiled fish (I agree with your dad that it is the yummiest fish I have ever had), maps tofu, cold noodles, and eggplant. I first discovered this cuisine watching Anthony Bourdain. I’m in Melbourne and Bourdain raved about Dainty Sichuan where I have had all of the above but they also have an incredible eggplant dish that is crunchy and toffee-like on the outside and soft in the middle. It’s time I went back to Dainty Sichuan I think! I can’t wait to watch more of your content. Thank you!

I can never convinced myself to visit any Szechuan restaurants and order myself a full blown Szechuan courses like you guys did here. I have a lot of reservation for this cuisine. The color and the extreme amount of peppercorns used turn me off badly. Anyway just want say that your conviction to explore and introduce Chinese food is worth applauding to.

      Sometimes people jokingly dodging the clang, move their glass lower than the other and try to clang when they are lower, end up lowering the glass to the floor.

    That's a very well composed top5 list of Sichuan food! You guys just got me drooling over my laptop in the middle of the night lol. I urgently need some shui-zhu-yu now! The way Amy broke down each dish's taste and the reaction from your parents gave me some good ideas about what and how to introduce Sichuan dishes to my foreign friends. Awesome video!

    This video is just a grownup version of Amy’s “take your parents to school science fair day”. She talks about Culture, History, Gastronomy, common misconception of certain subject matters, experimenting newly found elements on the periodic table. And she even brought her work she did from home. And just like in her school days she always wants everyone to give her work a thumbs up.

    Also for the "water boiled fish", you can choose to have more than one meat in it without paying extra, I usually pick fish and beef (水煮两样), you get to taste two different kinds of meat which is even better in my opinion.

    Dave loves spicy Sichuan foods and so do I but my tummy doesn’t like it. The ring of fire made me cringe but I find taking some Gaviscon, Maalox or any antacid tables before and after really helps to eliminate those issues and allow me to enjoy spicy foods again.

    Looks great. Your dad is very brave. I was born in Beijing but immigrated to Australia with my parents when I was 4. I have never gotten used to eating offal and I can’t use chopsticks to save my life. It embarrasses my parents that I sometimes need to ask for a fork in Asian restaurants. Love watching your videos Amy. It really makes me feel closer to my roots. I hope that one day I’ll be able to travel throughout China like you have been able to do.

    Hey Amy, not sure whether you have heard of 蜀香坊 - now called LAN Dining after renovation, it’s just opposite world square on level2 of 2 Cunningham street. Definitely give that a try if you haven’t already they have some of the most authentic Chengdu dishes that you could get in Sydney. Spicy joint is actually owned and operated by Shanghainese, whilst LAN is by authentic Sichuan owner.

Small correction: doubanjiang ia not "fermented chili bean paste" but pixiandoubanjiang, you should be able to find this on-line in Australia, USA and maybe other Western countries, This is generally packaged (authentic Chinese style!) in a plastic bag wrapped in paper with a red label. The best brand is Juancheng.
