Interesting article in IHT today:

----------------------------------
thanks for the article, Ian. i didn't go to Guizhou Mansion but i can
believe every word describing the other place. [99% of this article is
devoted to it!] after 8 fantastic days in Chengdu i must have the last
Sichuan lunch. that restaurant didn't disappoint. attracted a lot of
attention being the only tourists there and taking photos of my food too
and the staff were very courteous. while eating i saw a small lory
right outside the window unloading endless boxes and on every box you
could see the 'product of Chengdu' [or other towns in Sichuan province]
text! they were very surprised we found the place as it doesn't look
like a restaurant from outside, and no English sign or anything.
fabulous food. and so is Peking. next spring when i take my second
China trip i'll have my very first Peking meal at this restaurant again.

I have yet to make my first China trip, but I will definitely be going,
sooner or later. Any addresses or directions you have to these places
would be welcomed by both myself, and, I am sure, others. It all sounds
so delicious!
