Pepper Twins: For all the Szechuan You Can Handle

January 24, 2017 by

If you're craving the sweet, spicy, and altogether enchanting flavors of some top-notch Chinese cuisine, you definitely need to make a visit to Houston’s Pepper Twins in the near future. This increasingly popular West Gray Street restaurant is making quite a name for itself, thanks to what it describes as “country-style organic Chinese food.”

The menu takes cues from the cuisine of the Sichuan province of southwestern China, which means the spiciness and use of garlic is not for the faint of heart. Yet it’s practically irresistible, especially when things like Berkshire pork belly and a dish called “Fish Loves Tofu” are on the menu. Adventurous eaters and Chinese cuisine fanatics must pay Pepper Twins a visit.

The 24th Annual Houston Iranian Film Festival Celebrates Art and Diversity

One of the biggest perks of living in a bustling metropolis is the diversity and culture that you encounter on a daily basis. You can really engage in the diverse city that you call home at the 24th Annual Houston Iranian Film Festival, running from January 20th through the 25th and hosted by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH).

This annual festival has been part of the local arts scene since 1993, the first year that movie lovers convened at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston to view and discuss the cinematic works of emerging Iranian filmmakers. Today, the MFAH continues the tradition, screening movies created by talents from Tehran, the U.S., and Canada.

Peli Peli Kitchen: Try the Signature Rotisserie Chicken

January 3, 2017 by

Houston's Peli Peli Kitchen takes the term "fusion fare" to the extreme. Its menu combines elements of English, French, Dutch, Indian, and American cuisine. The result? An entirely new type of fare that, according to the people of Houston, is well worth a try.

The signature dish is the Peli, the eatery's take on South African peri-peri rotisserie chicken. Glazed with a sauce that emits both heat and subtle sweetness, the Peli chicken comes as wings or a half- or whole rotisserie chicken, and you can add sides to create a full meal. Pair your Peli with grilled cauliflower, truffle fries, and candied sweet potatoes to create a feast. You can also opt for one of the naan tacos (perhaps the smoked salmon or curried chicken) or dig into a classic banh mi sandwich stuffed with roast beef or pork belly. The options are eclectic and many at Peli Peli Kitchen in Houston, so you may want to return time and time again to try something new.
