But, when I mentioned that authentic can suck, my mind was more than along the lines of 成都小吃. Sure, its kungpao chicken qualifies as "authentic", and it still costs y12, but your stomach will inevitably be pissed off at your brain after you indulge.
@bamavol: there happens to be a Number 1 Chinese franchise near my place here in Florida, and I am planning on trying out the Bourbon Chicken lunch before leaving town.
I like 成都小吃, albeit a lot of them taste the same... I don't like those Asian royalty dishes like sea cucumber, shark fin, bird's nest, 高汤, etc.
