Gele Mountain, Sanbai Ti, Chongqing
价格
Slightly expensive, costing 82 yuan per catty. A dish for 6 people cost 426 yuan, which the reviewer felt was a bit pricey for a restaurant.
排队时间
Very fast, with chicken chopping taking only 2 minutes and cooking being quick as well.
菜品
The signature spicy chicken is described as very spicy initially, followed by a fragrant and salty taste, with less numbing sensation. The chicken itself is flavorful and the portions are exceptionally large, served on a 40cm diameter plate with an estimated weight of 3-3.5 kg. The dish uses a large quantity of chili peppers and peppercorns. However, the chicken is farm-raised, not free-range.
服务
The staff, including the owner, were friendly and efficient in taking orders and serving the food.
注意事项
Portions are very large (approx. 3-3.5kg per chicken), recommended for groups of 6 or more.
For those not accustomed to spicy food, specifically request medium spicy (中辣) as the default is very hot, as they assume patrons from Sichuan can handle high spice levels.
Be aware that the restaurant reuses cooking oil, which some diners may find concerning for health reasons.
The chicken is farm-raised; expect meat quality similar to common poultry, not free-range.
When eating, note that larger pieces are often bones, while smaller pieces tend to be pure meat.
