Overrated. Seriously, best western food in Chengdu? There is better western food at mediocre fusion restaurants like Princes Kitchen. I tried the pulled pork sandwich which I read is so wonderful: it’s like local braised pork and red cabbage stir-fried on a bun. Not a Good bun. The bread is sweet, which you’ll not find in any good foreign restaurant. Hint to owners, you can buy buns without sugar at places like Auchan. Second, TOAST the bun. The sandwich is like a sweet soggy mess.
The chips are oily and tasteless, the salsa provided has no real texture and is too watery. Google a good salsa recipe: use diced onions and garlic with a paste base not whatever the pureed pink ‘stuff’ was.
Caesars salad is alright, but for 48 kuai, you’d expect more than the most basic salad, should find a way to stand out beyond lettuce dressing crutons and cheese.. I did find it interesting that much of the staff are foreigners and honestly the service is good….
The drinks were alright. Stick to beers or martinis though, cosmos are not very good.
