They have a particular style in color, smell, taste and shape. 火锅以及其配菜、调料 Most of Sichuan food are quite spicy. You should be sure to order non spicy (不要辣; búyàolà), little spicy (微辣; wēilà) food or very spicy (老辣; laola). If you are not accustomed to it yet, a of soy(bean) sauce works much better than water to quell the spicy taste. However, if you are used to authentic Indian or Thai food, the level of spiciness in Sichuan food should be no problem at all. But I must mention that Sichuan food also makes heavy use of Sichuan pepper (花椒; huajiao), which looks like but is not a true peppercorn, and causes your mouth/lips to become somewhat numb. Sichuan pepper is added in most spicy dishes. If you can eat/prefer spicy food but do not like Sichuan pepper, you need to order so (不要花椒; bu yao huajiao). However, authentic Sichuan tastes both Sichuan pepper and chili peppers in proportion, so I strongly recommend you to try the authentic versions with the Sichuan pepper before making your decision. 词汇拓展： seasame oil [?ses?mi]芝麻油/香油 sesame paste soybean sauce/milk/curd Stinky tofu 臭豆腐 oyster[?ist?] sauce耗油 knead [ni:d] vt. 揉合，揉捏dough [d?u] n.生面团 flour [flau?] n. 面粉vt. 撒粉于；把…磨成粉 Heavy taste I dislike the food with strong flavor. garlic 大蒜 ginger生姜 slice [slais] n.薄片vt.将…切成薄片Pork ribs 排骨 sweet and sour 糖醋 sugar and vinegar [viniɡ?] Hotpot The spiciest food in Chengdu is hotpot (also called steampot or steamboat), although its tradition originated in Chongqing, yet it is quite popular in Chengdu.
