| We're an informal group of eaters, who have been trying Chinese restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley. Here's where we've been so far: Chung King (Szechuan) China Islamic (Muslim Chinese), Green Village (Shanghai) Sea Harbour (dim sum), Shiang Garden (Hunan) August dinner: Szechuan Our first outing (August 2003) was to Chun King, a Monterey Park Szechuan restaurant. We followed up the spicy dinner with a trip to Fosselman's ice cream in Alhambra. This is what we ate: -rice crust with pork -spareribs with ash -Chong Qing Chicken (fried chicken cubes with hot peppers) -Sichuan cold noodles in special sauce -braised fish with garlic -leeks with skin-like tofu |

| Chris digs into cold Szechuan noodles as Anne and Kathy look on. |
| Patty is vastly appreciative of a vast plate of fried chicken cubes with red peppers. Those are all red peppers on the plate. |
| Matt (right), considers his next selection while Martin tests the heat quotient on the chicken. |
