Dr. P came back from his 3 weeks long business trip.  He said there was no Chinese food in Utah, and he really missed spicy Chinese food.  We headed over to Chong Qing Mei Wei for some authentic spicy Szechwan food.


風味冷菜 Cold Appetizer ($5.50)

As usual, we started with the 3 item cold appetizer combo.  The waiter thought we were getting it to-go, and put the food in a to-go container.  My favorite cold appetizer is the spicy kidney with onion.  I can have just that dish with rice and be very happy.  The spicy beef & tendon is always good.  Strings of potatoes was very refreshing.



孜然羊肉 Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin ($10.99)

Stir Fried Lamb with Cumin was super good that day.  It had just the right amount of spiciness and cumin.  I love the smell and taste of cumin.  Lamb was very tender.


水煮牛魚 Boiled Beef and Fish with Hot Sauce ($10.99)

Boiled Beef and Fish with Hot Sauce is Dr. P's favorite dish.  We ALWAYS get this.  But somehow this dish tastes different every time.  This time I felt that the flavor was lacking something.  Maybe garlic?  But it was still pretty good though.

We like this restaurant a lot.  I thought it's even better than some Szechwan restaurants in SGV.
