Hot Chili

Crossing over from the East to the West of China we undoubtedly had a lot of Chinese food. Although there were some regional specialities, anything hot and spicy was always a favorite of mine. It wasn't "burn your tastebuds off with a firethrower" spicy (although I had one stick of bbq chicken which did just that) but more of a nice warm, sometimes hot flavor that enhanced the dishes.

Driving out of Turfan it seemed we had hit the origin of all the spicy chilies in China. Made my mouth water as we drove past these red fields.

It was great driving by those chilies. It was barren desert one minute then chili red the next. Nice, real nice.
