Sichuan Cuisine is one of the most famous Eight Cuisines in China. With a pretty long history, Sichuan Cuisine is renowned for its various seasoning especially the hot and spicy sauce. It uses a lot of capsicums and peppercorns. Some people consider Sichuan dishes to be delicious and enjoy themselves to the full; while some can not bear the spicy flavor.

Sichuan Cuisine restaurants have taken root in Shanghai since 1920s. Now you can find them everywhere in the city. These restaurants mainly serve Shanghai style Sichuan dishes with less hot and spicy sauce. The Hot Boiling Fish and the hot pot are most popular among the locals and the tourists. In recent years, cuisines from other parts of China and the whole world thronged into Shanghai. However, the fierce competition can not stop the popularity of the delicious and inexpensive Sichuan Cuisine.
