I also received a gift bag that included peppercorn cookies and a small bottle of baijiu -- a very nice touch. The food was absolutely delicious. It was a great way to familiarize myself with famous and not-so-famous Sichuan dishes. Every dish was very palatable - incredibly tasty and zesty but not overwhelmingly spicy. Xiao Shuang followed up with a text message to ensure that I had I got back to my hotel. I woke up to another message that included the names of all the dishes we had experienced. She even went above-and-beyond by finding out information for me regarding panda sanctuaries and jazz bars. I would highly recommend this company if Xiao Shuang is an example of the kind of service they provide.…
