Food: Taste of Chengdu (West Colonial Drive, Orlando)

 

Taste of Chengdu is one of my friend's favorite Sichuan restaurants, mostly because of its convenient West Colonial Drive location - perfect for a quick dinner before hitting the Turnpike. It's not the best Sichuan food I've ever tasted, but it'll satisfy your craving for mouth-numbing hot peppers (just don't confuse it with Chengdu Taste, a California-based chain). Standouts on the menu include mung bean jelly in spicy sauce, chili fish, and the decadent pork belly with cucumber.
