16 Tongue-Numbing Sichuan Restaurants to Try in Los Angeles - Eater LA
"Sichuan KungFu Fish specializes in Sichuan-style pan-roasted fish. The spiciest Chinese foods typically come from two regions: Sichuan and Hunan. Sichuan spice is referred to as mala, or numbing spice, and although it is spicy, it is better known for the tingly sensation that Sichuan peppercorns produce when eaten. The fish at Sichuan KungFu Fish is served in big metal fish-shaped hot pot containers filled with a bright red chile-infused broth. Diners choose between swai, cod, pollock fillet, and a handful of other proteins. Then, they pick their choice of spicy soup base and extra add-ons like quail eggs, spicy sour noodles, and udon. The dish arrives looking like a whole fish swimming in a pool of red chiles." - Kristie Hang
