Osaka, Japan｜中菜Labo. 朝陽

A shop where you can enjoy delicious mapo tofu in Kitashinchi! If you want to eat mapo tofu for lunch, this is the place! The numbness of Japanese pepper and the spiciness of chili peppers are exquisitely good! You can also refill the rice and cost performance is the strongest! It is a shop that makes you want to go again!

I went to the famous Chinese restaurant "Chukasai Labo Chaoyang" in Kitashinchi, Osaka. A restaurant run by Chef Takahashi, who was the head Chinese chef at Zuicho in the former Dojima Hotel. We are proud of the strongest mapo tofu that made the tongue of Chinese iron man "Chen Kenichi" growl. This time, we enjoyed a special course where you can enjoy the four major Chinese cuisines of Sichuan, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Beijing. ■ Appetizers from Sichuan, Guangdong, Shanghai, and Beijing ・[Sichuan] Sweet and spicy garlic chili oil with skin on pork belly ・[Guangdong] Hong Kong style roast duck ・[Shanghai] Bone-in chicken thigh flavored with Shaoxing wine ・[Beijing] Spicy Lamb Meat ■ [Shanghai] Big crab lion head bath A soup containing meatballs like the lion's head, a Shanghai specialty. ■ [Guangdong] XO Stir-Fry Stir-fried with XO sauce for a light taste. ■ [Sichuan] Jinhua Chinese cabbage Jinhua ham, one of the world's top 3 prosciutto hams, and a beef bone-based soup made from Chinese cabbage. ■ [Beijing/Guangdong] Single-skin spring rolls/steamed pumpkin steamed dumplings Deep-fried thin egg wrapped in spring roll skin. Dim sum with pumpkin added to shumai. ■ [Sichuan/Guangdong] Strongest mapo tofu / Wan-style mapo tofu A comparison between the numbingly spicy Sichuan mapo tofu and the sweeter Hong Kong-style mapo tofu. White rice with jasmine Mango pudding with pear By knowing the charm and difference of each dish, I enjoyed it more carefully and deliciously. It's a blissful time to stimulate your senses of taste, sight and smell.

This is the first time I've eaten mapo tofu that made my mouth numb. It's spicy and delicious. In addition to mapo tofu, steamed chicken and soup were also very delicious. I think it's a shop where you can have a good time. The shop has a very warm atmosphere and makes you want to come again.
