There is a place by the tongzilin carrefour inside of the hidden mall there. There are a number of japanese restaurants located next to the korean place. I forgot what it is called. Decent prices if I remember correctly.
Hi Varun,
I live in the South of Chengdu right by the Global Center. If you are IT this is the place to look. The Tianfu Software Park is teeming with all sorts of opportunity. My girlfriend works in the Software Park. Also, it is a developing part of Chengdu that the city has invested a lot of its efforts into creating a new city area for the years to come. There are plenty of startups here in the Gaoxin district as well.
Also, spend some time in the Tongzilin neighborhood. There are many western food joints that have made a name for themselves in recent years.
I live right above an Ito Yokado as well as an imported goods store. The Ito Yokado has an ok selection of foreign foods. Mainly fish and beef that they sell as well as various cheeses. The Imported goods store is even worse. They don’t have much of anything.
I think the best answer to this question is that you should not get your hopes up. Sichuan people are quite proud of their local food and prefer it over many other things. There are non-spicy dishes such as egg and tomato, apple duck soup, fish flavored eggplant, etc… I would suggest trial and error as different families have different recipes for dishes.
Finally, Korean and Thai food is no problem to find around the city. You can also find a lot of muslim cooked dishes which may be less spicy. As for Vietnamese and other countries go, let me know if you find any. I have yet to locate a Vietnamese noodle place.
