The food all the way down through China has been great, but now that we’re in Sichuan, I’m really loving it.

Last night we went into downtown Chengdu to the old part of town which has been renovated and is a great place to spend a few hours just hanging out … BUT ..,. the restaurants there, lovely as they are, charge London prices. One plate of food is £30! So we beat a hasty retreat to our usual type of establishment where the 3 of us eat very well for about £20 including a good few beers.

Geordie Sh always orders the food, and the man know’s his stuff, last night was no exception. Outsnading food, fresh ingredients all washed down with some cold Tsingtao or Harbin (Geordie’s home town brew).

Chinese takeaway in SW15 will never be the same after this trip.
