Tried out this Michelin recommended restaurant on my friend’s birthday. Sichuan food is one of my favourite cuisine, especially in the winter. Here I absolutely loved the prime rib!!! It was fell off the bone tender! The Spicy Chicken was also addicting! It's crunchy, hot, peppery, numbing and tingly! The spiciness was just right for us canto peeps. Not the Sichuan kind of spicy that hurts your throat and ears, and make you tear afterward. We also ordered a bottle of Moutai, and truthly speaking, for that price point the chinese wine was surprisingly good.

I’d wanna come back to try out the famous Sichuan dishes like the saliva chicken or Kung Bao chicken, and the Sichuan boiled fish. .

Originally I thought this place was some ghetto old school restaurant. Upon arrival, I realised that this was their retro theme and they purposely renovated it that way. It's super nostalgic and cute! It felt like you travelled back in time to the old Hong kong in the 60's. What's also shocking was that their food was also very appealing. And you gotta take me seriously on this when I'm recommending a hot pot place, because I don't actually like to hot pot. The dumplings were really the cherry on the cake. Now I feel like I need to copycat the truffle dumplings at home.

What's also worth mentioning was the fish maw chicken soup base! They were so generous with the fish maw and they've used one whole chicken to make the soup base. What an excellent choice for the ladies!

睇相以為呢間餐廳係間舊式火鍋店，去到先知原來後佢哋嘅 Theme. 佢哋嘅裝修好懷舊， 好得意。 有少少似去咗城寨英雄入面嘅九龍城寨。最驚訝嘅係佢哋嘅野食都好高質。 連我平時唔鐘意打邊爐嘅我都話唔錯喎。

最令我心心眼嘅係佢哋 D 餃子 。 搞到人哋手痕想試包個黑松露餃子。 再值得一提嘅係佢哋嘅花膠雞湯底。落足料㗎！佢哋落咗成隻雞同好多花膠嚟煲。啱駛 D 女士們

.

原諒我勁求其咁影呢 D相。 因為同成班朋友食飯所以實在唔係太好意思攞個電話出嚟太耐。
