Spicy Michelin fine dining at the Ji Chuan restaurant in Chengdu,Sichuan province,China 🇨🇳

The Primemutton was back in China again, to continue last year's culinary series. Having presented some of the hotpots and traditional dishes last year, Mutton turned his attention to high end dining which is a fairly recent phenomenon in China.
Spicy food and asian food doesn't usually lend itself to fine dining, but with a demand for high quality produce and wine now in China, it was inevitable that some restaurants would try and tailor a menu towards high end dining.
Sichuan food is noted for its spicy regional specialities, so could a tasting menu be pulled off or would the spice overpower the wine? Or could leading Sichuanese chefs at the Ji Chuan restaurant create a menu with balance and harmony to merit a Michelin plate or Star?
Join Mutton and Mr Fu to find out.

    Having visited China on numerous occasions, and having witnessed an explosion in culinary creativity over the years, it felt like time to finally try out a Michelin restaurant. People often say you can’t have spice with fine ingredients and wine at the same time , but I disagree. I do prefer Sichuanese food over other regional variations of Chinese food but I do hope to repeat this experiment in other parts of China.

    I apologise for that , I bought a new mic while out there and at times the twin mics cancelled my speech and focused on the eating noises. I am going back to China in the summer and will ask the DJI people to explain if or how I mis set the settings .I’ve literally spent thousands of £s on Microphones and while I’ve found the correct mic set for individual use I’m still struggling to find a pair that works together . Even spending £350 on a pair of mics hasn’t solved the problems.

    It was something to do with the microphone set up. I won’t find out till I visit China in June as I bought the mics from DJi. I really don’t understand why for some clips you can hear me clearly and for others the chomping. I had to whack up the volume of those clips to maximum in the editing software where you can hear the chomping , otherwise you wouldn’t hear me speaking at all and to be honest I’d have lost the vlog. I am aware of the issue and I will ask DJI (not so easy to deal with them in the UK or Europe tbh) The sad thing is that I spent thousands of £ on my mics to get myself one that works solo , and I might have to do the same again until I find a twin set that works. These cost about £350 , the previous twin set £250 from sarmonic , it may well be that I am being a cheapskate and will need a professional pair that costs about £1000 . I’ll keep you in the loop about future microphone purchases

Having spent thousands pf £ on mics for individual use until I found the right one , I hope I don’t end up having to do the same with dual mics. Unfortunately it was impossible to edit them out, but I’m going to China again in mid June and I’ll try and sort it out or if I can’t painstakingly get him to switch his on and off when he’s not speaking (they’re supposed to focus on the person speaking and reduce surrounding noises)
