Photo of the Day: May 13, 2019

We went to Sichuan Cottage in Marlboro for the umpteenth time the other day. I know I’ve conducted a full review and featured their food in several “Photo of the Day” posts, but I just need to say that this has become the most dependable Chinese restaurant I have ever frequented. The food is identical every time (though this Three Pepper Chicken was extra sinister). I find myself never deviating from my usuals, and neither does Justin. He orders what is pictured every time, just like I get the beef with roasted chili in chili oil. It is hard to try new things when these are just so good. Cannot forget the wontons in hot oil either—we had not one, but two orders of these last time out! Only new item we tried was the boneless spare ribs. The picture did not come out great or I would have used that today. They were thinly sliced, crispy (we asked for well-done) and served dry, rather than dripping in that sweet sauce. Oh, what gluttony! I’m going to upgrade their rating to 4.5 out of 5 stars. I’d be here weekly if it was closer.
