    Hi,

    I was going to start a Chengdu Meet-up group, but as I am already on this forum and it seems to be used quite often thought I can see what the response is like on this.

    I’m going to be new to Chengdu and I am a major foodie. I love trying new foods, dining at restaurants and cooking. Looking for other foodies.

    Lets plan a Saturday and a restaurant and meet up.

    I’m new so please suggest a restaurant that you have tried or want to try.

    hmmm, I did say I was open to suggestions, so that’s fair, and surprisingly they may have really nice chicken wings there. I also read that the food at Wenshu Temple Veg Restaurant is tasty.

    Hello Jenise,

    I’m new too; just arrived on Thursday, so don’t really know of any good places yet.

    Would be up for coming along though.

    Welcome to CD, Jenise and Sandi.

    There are a lot of nice eating places here, especially those so called “fly restaurants” in town. Let us know what you are interested in and we may chow together.

    When you guys have some eating events, gi’me a holler, too.

    When do you arrive in Chengdu?

    You should check out the Underground Gourmet post series on the blog to get some suggestions for good restaurants. There are a ton of great places to eat in Chengdu.

    Cheers Vic, it is quite a place.

    Well, I’m game for anywhere, so Jenise, you decide and we can set a date!

    Incidentally, I had heard of ‘Hooters’, but the name meant nothing to me, so I googled it there – looks eh, interesting 🙂

    Hi,

    I arrive on Wed 29th. I will not know where my apartment is until I get there. I do know that my work is somewhere Xindu so it has to be somewhere in that area and it seems that its close to Chengdu.

    Shall we take a chance and make it for this Saturday September 1st at 6pm?

    I’m not sure about Wenshu Temple vegetarian food,but I tried Zhaojue Temple Veg food long time ago, it was amazine, very delicious and all those “meat”, “fish””pork” or something like that, looks and tastes like the real mccoy

    I would love to meet up to try different restaurants and share some of the ones I know (usually around the yu lin area) but I can’t make it this Saturday – next time though!

    I ate at Zhaojue Temple many years ago & it was excellent, it’s just a pity that it’s quite far away.

    Okay guys, google maps is giving me two different addresses:

    97号 East Street, Jinjiang, Chengdu, Sichuan, China

    33号 Ruilian Road, Qingyang, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, 610091

    I’m guessing it’s the first one – would this be right?

    Off in search of a printer tomorrow so a speedy answer would be much appreciated!

    Cheers,

    Sandi
