We found a Muslim restaurant in Chengdu, the same as the one we go to in Luzhou. They must be a chain restaurant.
The dishes at the Muslim restaurant in Chengdu, were even better than the ones in Luzhou! We didn’t think that was possible.
Beef Noodles with Vegetables and Chilli sauce. Sichuan is known for it’s hot food, and this dish was pretty hot.

These are the sorts of things you miss when you live in Rural China for five months.
Luzhou doesn’t offer any good coffees or hot chocolates. There’s no Starbucks or equivalent, because the city is quite small. The best coffee we’ve had in Luzhou is from KFC. So when we go to a big city like Chengdu, we visit Starbucks.

We stayed over in Chengdu on Saturday, for one night. The fruit shops in Chengdu are big and have a beautiful variety of fresh fruit available. We went for a walk on Saturday night and found this little shop.
Half a basket of fresh strawberries.

There is a little Muslim restaurant in Luzhou that we visit every now and then. They serve the most delicious lamb and beef dishes. There are only six little tables inside and the place is always full.
This is my favourite dish. All the noodles are handmade there, and they are absolutely delicious. The noodles in this dish look like spaghetti noodles, but they are a little fatter. It comes with roasted chunks of beef and potatoes, as well as big capsicum pieces.
I took the photo when it was still steaming hot, hence the hazy look.

Today we went to the bank to exchange some Chinese Yuan for Australian Dollars, but they didn’t have any. So we exchanged our Yuan for some American Dollars instead. Hello Mr Franklin, nice to meet you!
