For dinner on our wedding night, my new wife and I had the Signature Crispy Nuggets ($10.50) from Chicken No. 5. She chose the 中辣 spice level, and I spent our brief waiting period trying to convincer her that she had made a terrible mistake, and that 中辣 was in fact “Chinese person spicy”, rather than “medium spicy”, and would in fact be too spicy for her.
The chicken was pretty good but not particularly memorable. We enjoyed the brisk service, and sitting by the outside gas heater as we ate.
The spice level was indeed just a medium spicy – certainly more of a Taiwanese fried chicken than a Sichuan fried chicken. My wife informed me as I was writing this post next to her, that she hadn’t understood my joke about the spice level until now.
