sichuan home, Geary blvd, sf:

white rice
mapo tofu with pork
eggplant with pork (I’ve had this as Cantonese cuisine and this version had crispier eggplant.

excellent spice and definitely delicious. It’s also less easy to find this eggplant dish at most restaurants. This is probably one of the best Sichuan mapo tofu dishes I’ve had. I need to eat here more often as I think this was only the 4th time I’ve been here in my life.
