Hardcore
Tonight be, P, Doey and i checked out the Grand Sichuan on St. Mark's Place. In sum, we all enjoyed our dishes but we realized how little we know about Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. Sure, there's some overlap with Cantonese and they offer "American style Chinese food," but we weren't too familiar with a good portion of the menu. I was surprised to see that all the other patrons were Chinese groups and families (especially on St. Mark's!) but as you know, that's always a good sign.be had the conch in black bean sauce (which really grew on him), P had the string beans with beef (which was too sweet for her liking), Doey had egg drop soup and a chicken dish and i had a dry sauteed tofu dish with black beans and chiles. The tofu was pressed and smoked so it was reminiscent of ham and diced into small cubes. I really liked the flavor but the chiles weren't very hot; they were quite large and green instead of the smaller, dried red ones. Our waiter was really nice and patient, considering that we each asked for recommendations and opinions.
An older couple at a table near us ordered a few dishes, and one was a large platter of chiles. Only red hot chiles. That is hardcore if i ever saw it.
