Fei’s Cafe on the Southeast corner of Wyoming and Zuni<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some say the map of China looks like a chicken.\u00a0 The province of Sichuan in Southwest China would be right in the stomach of that chicken.\u00a0 That’s fitting because the cuisine of Sichuan is internationally renowned for its liberal use of spice.\u00a0 What characterizes Sichuan from the other regions of China is its use of Sichuan peppercorn, chilies, and the ability to take even the most mundane of ingredients to create fabulous dishes.\u00a0 There’s a term for the flavor profile associated with Sichuan cuisine.\u00a0 It’s the word “mala” which translates to “numbing spice.”\u00a0 The “ma<\/em>” portion of that term comes from the use of Sichuan Peppercorns (which are actually in the same botanical family as citrus, not chilies).\u00a0 Sichuan peppercorns create a tingly, electric, buzzing, salivating, sensation on the palate. Sichuan peppercorns\u00a0 are not spicy. The heat in Sichuan cuisine comes from la\u00a0<\/em>– or spicy. A variety of chilies are used in Sichuan cuisine.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Humble and Small Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When long-time reader Nathaniel recommended Fei’s Cafe, he explained “It’s by far the best Chinese food I’ve had in ABQ, comparable to Boston or LA. It’s a real hole in the wall and really authentic. They don’t seem to be getting a lot of business, for that reason and because of their location, I think. But the couple who owns it are super nice. It’s just the two of them working there. I really can’t recommend it enough. I’ve been so disappointed with the Chinese food here, but this place is actually good<\/em>.”\u00a0 \u00a0Hmm, “really authentc, comparable to Boston, actually good<\/em>.”\u00a0 All of those superlatives intrigued me, but it was this sentence that really got my juices going: “The chef is Sichuanese.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
Dandan Noodles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I shared Nathaniel’s recommendation with Bill Resnik, my great friend and frequent dining companion, he couldn’t wait to experience it.\u00a0 Like me, Bill is a bona fide fire eater who believes pain is a flavor.\u00a0 Spicy is too mild if it doesn’t make us sweat as much as working out for an hour on the treadmill.\u00a0 A Sichuan chef, we figured, would serve us something on the scale of what The Food Ranger<\/strong><\/a> (Trevor James) shared with\u00a0 “Chinese Trump<\/strong><\/a>” (Ryan Chen), a viral social media impersonator known for mimicking Donald Trump\u2019s mannerisms, on food-focused content.\u00a0 This video depicts them enjoying Chongqing hot pot with so many chilies and peppercorns that even Satan would beg for water.\u00a0 Chongquing, by the way, is not within the Sichuan provinence but has strong cultural and culinary ties with the Sicuan region.<\/p>\n

Perusing the menu, we espied several dishes which screamed “authentic.”\u00a0 \u00a0Save for orange chicken, Mongolian beef, chicken chow mein and a few other items, the menu didn’t have the lacquered sweet-and-sour dishes Chinese Trump might describe as “round-eye Chinese food<\/em>.”\u00a0 Bill and I appreciated that though even we might have a bit of trepidation (Bill more than me) about ordering spicy braised pork trotters, boiled spicy bullfrog (or dry pot bullfrog) and pork intestine and tofu casserole.\u00a0 Yes, it’s that type of Chinese restaurant–the type I love.\u00a0 Our server spoke almost no English, but pointed enthusiastically at menu items she recommended.\u00a0 When we asked a question about a menu item, she queried her smart phone but the results it returned basically didn’t help.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Kung Pao Chicken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fei’s Cafe is located on the southeast corner of the intersection between Wyoming and Zuni.\u00a0 It’s not quite a mile to the Wyoming gate to Kirtland Air Force Base.\u00a0 Fei’s occupies an aged edifice whose halcyon days are probably forty years removed.\u00a0 \u00a0Previous occupants include a nunber of Thai, Vietnamese and Mexican restaurants, most of them not memorable.\u00a0 The area in which Fei’s Cafe is situated is in the heart of the area relabeled the “International District” after being long known as the “War Zone.”\u00a0 This Fei’s Cafe is not to be mistaken for the Fei’s Cafe in the University area.\u00a0 That restaurant shuttered its doors several years ago.<\/p>\n

The first of our four entrees to arrive was Dandan Noodles<\/strong><\/em>, a Sichuan dish traditionally served by street vendors who carried them on poles across their shoulders (dan dan).\u00a0 This spicy noodle dish is normally tossed in a sauce of chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns and preserved vegetables.\u00a0 The dandan noodles delivered to our table resembled a Vietnamese vermicelli noodle dish in that topping a tangle of noodles were fresh carrots and cucumbers along with ground beef.\u00a0 \u00a0We didn’t discern any of the numbing Sichuan peppercorns we both love.\u00a0 Nor did our tongues burn beautifully from chilis.\u00a0 The noodles and broth were slurp worthy.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Shrimp and Corn<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our server (whom we surmise was the owner) was very enthusiastic about the Kung Pao chicken<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Bill resisted her overtures, but she gave me a pleading look that seemed to say “order this, please<\/em>.”\u00a0 I did.\u00a0 As with the dandan noodles, Kung Pao chicken has its genesis in the Sichuan province.\u00a0 Made well (authentically), it offers a complex blend of sweet, sour and savory flavors with a signature numbing mala from those Sichuan peppercorns and chilis.\u00a0 \u00a0Americanized versions (can you say Panda Express) are less spicy and sweeter.\u00a0 At first browse, the dish placed in front of us looked like Kung Pao chicken with the characteristic sliced chicken, peanuts, vegetables and chili peppers.\u00a0 Unless you actually eat the chili peppers, you won’t discern much heat from this dish.\u00a0 It was sweet, savory and vinegary.\u00a0 Not bad, but not what we expected.<\/p>\n

Among the unique menu items was egg and corn stir fry with shrimp<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 I don’t recall having seen this item on the menu of any other Chinese restaurant in New Mexico, but apparently it’s not uncommon in China.\u00a0 Characteristically Sichuan-style egg and corn stir fry includes Sichuan peppercorns as well as garlic and (or) ginger for the numbing kick Bill and I love.\u00a0 This dish combines fluffy eggs which adhere to the corn niblets.\u00a0 Fei’s version includes both stir-fried shrimp and fried shrimp pieces.\u00a0 Surprisingly, this may have been our favorite of the four dishes we shared.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Spicy Diced Chicken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our final entree was the spicy diced chicken<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Spicy was somewhat of a misnomer in that unless we bit down on the incendiary dried chili peppers, we discerned very little heat.\u00a0 In the Sichuan province, this dish is tossed with a profusion of dried red chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic and sesame seeds.\u00a0 It should be a fiery, numbing (mala) dish in which aromatic chilis and spices waft toward happy diners. Though we enjoyed the chicken, we really would have preferred much more personality.<\/p>\n

Fei’s Cafe has some very unique offerings adventurous diners should enjoy.\u00a0 Bullfrog may or may not be one of them, but someday I may just return just to try it.<\/p>\n
