Fire‑Worried? No Bother – Dive Into Sichuan at Chengdu Restaurant
Think of Sichuan cuisine and you’ll picture a blazing firework of spice. The kitchen’s star, Mala Xiang Guo is a sizzling salute to chilies and peppercorns. But Chengdu, tucked away on Amoy Street, wants you to see beyond the heatwave.
Why Chengdu’s a Culinary Capital
- The city earned UNESCO’s “City of Gastronomy” title before any other Asian metropolis.
- Head Chef Qing Jun, only 25 years old, already boasts a decade of kitchen wizardry – so expect nothing but the best.
Start with a Roaring Starter
Roasted Foie Gras ($42.80) is an indulgent gold‑mine, served with king‑oyster mushrooms and a splash of spring onion genius. One bite and you’ll have to sit down for a bowl of jasmine rice – it’s the perfect antidote to that buttery burst.
Not in love with foie gras? No worries.
Chicken Feet with Pickled Peppers ($13.80) are a smell‑and‑taste adventure. These tender talons, marinated in a spicy‑sweet medley, burst into a frenzy of savory delight. It’s a crunchy, comforting treat even when the weather turns sultry.
Main Course: Turn the Heat Up (No Crying Allowed)
- Sichuan Style Spicy Pot ($28.80): Luncheon meat, quail eggs, prawns, squid, and black fungus soak in a numbing sauce of chilli, cayenne, and bean paste. A bold take on Meh‑Mala that will make your tongue dance.
- Fish Fillet in Sour Soup ($22.80-S / $29.80-L): Simple yet flavorful, the broth swirls with Sichuan peppercorns, pickled veg, and airy enoki mushrooms. A tad “gelatinous” but nicely balanced with elbow‑tough starch noodles.
Tea & Treats: Keep Cool and Dazzle
- Herbal Tea ($3): The holy grail of home‑brew goodness.
- Plum Tea ($3): The citrusy zing loved by all ages.
- Lemon & Yuzu Drink ($3.50): A chilled, light, and energizing refresher. Great for those days when the drizzle nags.
