I grew up in Northeast China, spent twelve years in Beijing, and now call Chengdu home — which means my kitchen tells the story of half of China. One night you might get hearty Dongbei comfort food; the next, proper Sichuan heat. Most tables in Chengdu can only give you one of those. I'd love to give you both.
Over dinner, let's talk about daily life in China, food culture, and where you've been. And before you leave, I'll happily map out my favorite corners of Chengdu — the snack streets, the teahouses, the panda base, and the neighborhood spots no guidebook has found yet.
Sample menu
You will be served a home-style spread of four to five dishes, rotating with the seasons and the morning market:
Guo bao rou (锅包肉) — crispy sweet-and-sour pork, the pride of the Northeast
Twice-cooked pork (回锅肉) — the Sichuan classic
Braised pork ribs with potatoes and green beans, Dongbei style
Mapo tofu or kung pao chicken
Seasonal greens and rice
Spice level fully adjustable — from Chengdu-fierce to gently aromatic.

Yes I enjoyed it. He is a nice guy, and we talked about different things.
He is a very good cook, and I like his food a lot.
I didn't know if I have misunderstood something but the food was not ready before 19.30 and I was invited to 18.30.
That's the only thing I can say bad about it.
I will for sure do it again.
