Welcome Home Dinner at 沸腾鱼乡

拌菜(tossed cabbage) Nothing special about this one. It was just really refreshing among the hot and spicy dishes.

I arrived home Thursday 12 am and the next day was a big welcome home feast. We went to 沸腾鱼乡（the home of the bubbling fish??) and I ate my heart out. All was authentic Sichuan food that I had been craving for the past century.

夫妻肺片 (Couple's lungs????) Please pardon my translation... It's not actually human lungs (that would be illegal and disgusting), but beef. Mixed together in a red, hot sauce with garlic, this cold dish stimulates your saliva glands with merely its visual presentation."

桂花莲藕 (Sweet Lotus) This was the cold sweet dish of the night. The lotus was covered in honey and 桂花

I don't remember the name... This was mouth-watering chicken. The restaurant only sells four a day. This one was stolen from another store. Bahahahahaha. The juicy chicken melts on the tip of your tongue and its flavor was completely soaked into the 山药.

Green beans!!! Absolutely different from Yuan Ho's. It's not oily and there is a savory garlic flavor.

麻辣牛蛙 Spicy Frog I realize that it may sound disgusting but it's not. It tastes way better than chicken. This dish numbs your tongue and your lips but keeps you desiring more. "]

Fried Shrimp. Good fried shrimp

馒头!!! You have no idea how thrilled I was! This steamed bun was sweet and instantly satisfied my taste-buds.

排骨海带汤Ribs and seaweed soup. The flavor was just right. 浓浓的肉香

肉夹馍 The buns are on the side and the stuffing is in the middle. Basically you stuff the stuffing inside the buns. The stuffing consists of meat and vegetables. Though they are amazing together, eating them separately is another amazing taste.

水煮鱼Water-boiled fish. This is the star dish of the restaurant. The fish isn't actually boiled in water. Instead its in hot oil. The dish isn't really spicy, but 麻. The fish itself is smooth and goes great with vinegar. You must order this dish when coming to this restaurant.

The dinner that night was fantastic and not just because of the food. My entire family was there along with most of cousins. There was laughter and joy, which made the food even better. I love being home.
