A + A Sichuan Garden: Austin, TX
First, a side note, posts have been very few and very far between as I concentrate my efforts on breaking into fiction writing. I'm working on a few different ideas and stories in the fantasy and science fiction genres, and having a good time doing so.
However, this isn't about that. This Quick Thought is about A + A Sichuan Garden on North 183 in Austin. It's in the location of the former Tea House restaurant, which was sorely missed.
My A + A Sichuan Garden Quick Thought is that this place is really good. The prices are reasonable, menu was extensive and offered a few recognizable favorites with a much more robust selection of more traditional items.
The portions were very large.
I've only been once, but I'm sure I'll be back many times. I don't have General Tso's Chicken that often, because I'm so often disappointed by thick, overly sweet sauce with dry, tough chicken.
My experience at A + A Sichuan Garden couldn't be farther from that. The crisp lotus flower breading yielded to moist, succulent bites of chicken that were perfectly sized (rather than being huge, as many places do it). The sauce was tangy and had a pleasant bit of heat to it.
All in all, a great experience. I'll definitely be back.
