Sitting next to my Chinese girlfriend in Chongqing.

Sichuan food is “麻”, which is a way to say it makes your tongue numb. Not “spicy” (though to me it’s very spicy).

North China food is normal, not spicy ( like dumplings, baozi, and such).

South China food is “清淡” , or something that is light. Typically this applies to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Taiwan, etc.

But east China (shanghai, jiangsu, ) is sweet food
