For Aussie, to a foreign restaurant to order, they have to have more "be brave"?
The brain, blood, and the tongue of the animal, do they dare to eat? Or did they just like to cut the meat with a knife?
Before the building of the apartment building in Box Hill, it is known for a powerful Chinese community and all the Eastern classical food, and is still so.
China Chilli is a Chinese hotpot chain restaurant with stores in Melbourne CBD and Box Hill.
Chef Deng Yongqiang (Yongqiang Deng, is at the busiest time of the year.
"Here, there are more customers in the autumn and winter season, and people eat the hot pot in order to make the body warm,", he said. "In Sichuan, no matter what season, there are always a lot of people in the hot pot, and the hotpot provided here keeps the most authentic taste of the Sichuan food."
When he said to the "pure", he was serious.
"The pig brain and the sheep brain are very traditional food in Sichuan,", he said. "It's hard to buy a pig's brain in Melbourne, so we offer a sheep brain in the restaurant. In fact, the protein content of the sheep brain is even higher than that of the pork brain."
The brain of these animals is also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.
"the sheep brain is regarded as a delicacy not only by Sichuan people, but also by people around the world," he said. "for example, I find that customers in Arab countries also like to order this dish."
In addition to the brain, tripe, duck tongue and other internal organs are also common dishes in Sichuan traditional hot pot.
"The beef tripe and the duck tongue are the required food for the authentic Sichuan hotpot." Deng said.
Duck blood and pig blood are also popular among traditional hotpot enthusiasts.
But if you're not a risk-taker, you can also have beef and lamb, meatballs and vegetables to taste the authentic China Chilli.
Mahon Ma, a recent graduate from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), said he liked the tender taste of the duck tongue.
Ma said: "The duck's blood and the pig's blood are also very good, tastes like tofu."
The duck blood pig blood and other food are rich in nutrition, and are rich in protein and iron.
The same hotpot dish can also be found in Dainty Shicuan, which also has a store in the CBD. The recipe here does not provide animal brains, but there are many other traditional Chinese dishes.
It's also possible to have a single hot pot. In this way, you can point yourself to the bottom of the soup, what ingredients do you want.
Dainty Shicuan, a chef, Michael Yang, also offers other healthy traditional foods.
He said, ""Wujiaotang is a popular soup base, and from the point of view of TCM, it is considered to have the effect of improving skin elasticity."."
Tofu is one of the most popular and famous foods in China. It is widely regarded as a kind of food that can reduce inflammation.
"many of the ingredients used in Sichuan food are good for human health."
As a result, the Australian will not be afraid of being brave enough to enjoy a healthy and full brain meal at the time of dinner in Chinese restaurants.
