Lao Sze Chuan renders their delicious
version of Sichuan classics, including
Gan Bian SiJiDou (Dry Sautéed Green
Beans) and (Dry Pot Style Fish Slices) Gan Guo Yu Pian and (Casserole of
Pig Trotters) Zhu Ti.
You must be adventurous to try the
Zhu Ti, which may not suit the taste
of everyone.
They were cooked perfectly.
The best part was the marrow
inside the many little bones.

MARVELOUS, authentic Chinese
food from LSC (Lao Sze Chuan) on
the Post Road.
Chinese unabashedly love pork. In
fact if you say meat, "Rou", without
being specific, it is assumed to be
pork "Zhu Rou". ShaGuo ZhuTi is a (Casserole Style Pig Trotter) slow-
simmered, succulent stew of pork.
This cooking method makes the
lean fall-off-the-bone tender and
unlocks the collagen in rind and
fat cap. The result is a HEAVENLY
concoction. Some of the rind fat
is rendered into the gravy of the
stew, so be sure not to miss out on
having it over white rice to soak up
EVERY DELICIOUS DROP.
Other delectable cuts of pork that
may substitute for ZhuTi are Zhu
Zhou (Pig's Knuckles) or Zhu Xiao
Tui (Pork Shanks) or Ti Pang --
all dishes straight from paradise,
and each has a red-cooked (Hong
Shao) variant.
Lao Sze Chuan can provide so
much pleasure to those who are
not squeamish about eating the
leg cuts of pork OR the belly.
Thank our lucky stars for this
DIVINE Restaurant.

LSC (Lao Szechuan) always provides
TOP NOTCH food, no matter what
you order.
Eel w/ Cellophane Noodles was an
excellent dish -- both the ManYu
and the FenSi are more nutritious
than other fish or mianshi.
Eels are high in zinc, and Mung bean
noodles have more protein and lower
GLI than wheat noodles.
The Brisket Beef Noodle Soup was
SUPERB.
The Baby Squid was outstanding.
I think people who are familiar with
calamari or ika know that squid,
even tender babies, require a lot of
chewing. That is the whole point,
because it's a great food for texture
afficianados.
Overall, LSC is as GOOD AS EVER.

As expected, WONDERFUL food
from LSC (Lao Sze Chuan).
DongPo is the brushname of SuShi,
Statesman/Poet/Painter. He turned
HangZhou from a backwater to a city
fit to be the future capital of Southern
Sung, by dredging Xi lake. He did not
exploit and shun his migrant workers,
but instead threw them a feast. Dong
Po pork is said to have been served &
SuShi confirmed his reputation as a
Great amateur cook whose motto was
"Fish fast, pork slow" laying out the
cooking time for each.
If you order this, LSC will recreate the
Feast of SuShi at Xi lake. This is our
favorite presentation of WuHuaRou
-- a delicacy of Chinese cuisine.
WuHua (5 flowers) stands for 1) skin,
2) fat cap, 3) lean, 4) marbling &
5) more lean.
This is possibly the best tasting pork
in Asian dining.
Also GREAT was the BaiCai ye Suan
Ya (bok choy w/ garlic shoots).
FanQie ChaoDan (tomato & eggs) is
an example of home cooking [almost]
AS GOOD as our mom's.
All in all, TERRIFIC FOOD from LSC.

Lao Szechuan is even better than
it was several years ago.
We heartily recommend the MaPo
Doufu -- one of the best we've ever
had. The Sichuan peppercorns (hua
jiao) give it that unique "MaLa" zest
and real ChengDu autheticity.
We also loved the YuXiangJi (Garlic
Sauce Chicken).
The SuanLaTang (hot & sour soup)
was comforting on a brisk Autumn
Day.
The Dry Pot Fish Fillet was terrific
and the Duck Fried Rice was an
awesome treat.
Our Dasher, Yuhan, was outstanding
and arrived 5 min early!
