Trevor James, better known as The Food Ranger, takes a break from his usual haunts of street food stalls to visit You Zhi Lan, a fine dining Sichuan restaurant in Chengdu. He goes into the kitchen with the head chef to see how they make signature dishes like their noodles, thin enough to be threaded through a needle, before tucking into a multi-course meal spanning abalone, lobster, truffle, caviar, sea cucumber, and bird’s nest soup. Dinner here may cost around ¥1,500 per person, but it’s a culinary experience that’s been voted as one of the best in China in the latest Black Pearl Restaurant Guide.
