"S-sizzle..."
"S-sizzle..."
When the numbing flavor of the Sichuan pepper accumulates to a certain level, your mouth feels electrified, causing a slight numbness. This reduces your taste perception, but not for the chili peppers. The chili peppers stimulate pain receptors, not taste buds.
The chili peppers continuously stimulate the mucous membranes inside the mouth, and the fiery burning sensation makes people outside the car sweat profusely from their foreheads and chests.
Once the mouth has adapted to the numbness and spiciness, the unique flavor of beef and the rich broth start to heal the injured taste buds.
It's like being hit with a stick and then receiving a sweet date as compensation.
But I have to say, this sense of contrast is really addictive.
The diners at this point couldn't care less about talking. When real deliciousness is tasted, one absolutely doesn't start praising it at once; you must first finish everything on the plate before speaking.
