After all the hype I really wanted to try this. And after we came in I really wanted to like it - the setting is really nice, stylish modern, but not over the top. Among all Chinese cuisines Sichuan is my favorite, so I came with high expectations.  Unfortunately the food was disappointing. The dished are very much adjusted to Southern Chinese/Western tastes - to sweet, not spicy enough and they totally fail to deliver the complex, multi-layerd flavor that makes Sichuan food so great.

❤序 --  之前在微博撰寫迷你食評得到了一些朋友的好評與支持，所以決定正式移師‘開飯’這個大家庭開始我的食評分享之旅 。為此，我將處女之作獻給了我最愛的 ’川菜‘ 來小試牛刀，希望以後同大家一起分享美食，食得滋味。好了，介紹到此也該進入正題了 。。。   前幾日和友人光臨了剛開業兩個月左右，位於灣仔的新派川菜料理 ’呇QI‘（普通話讀音為：qǐ)，只看其名（’口‘加’水’的構字著實巧妙）已讓我口水橫飛三千尺 ，這個’呇‘解作’明亮的星‘的意思，老闆介紹說取此名的靈感是來自烹製川菜的基本配料 - 八角，希望用更加創意的方式向食客們詮釋川菜的精髓。本人覺得這家餐廳和大S老公汪小菲所開設的‘俏江南’川菜集團有些許類似的風格，只是前者少了後者的大氣與華麗，反倒是多了份精緻與溫馨。一出電梯便看到餐廳的名字，柔和的燈光增添了份期待感。餐廳內燈光較暗，給用餐營造出柔和的氣氛，大紅的牆上赫然印著唐代大詩人杜甫關於讚美巴蜀美食佳餚的詩句：「蜀酒濃無敵，江魚美可求」，讓人感受到濃濃的中式氣息和詩情畫意。當晚三分之一都是外國客人，看來很多西方朋友也鍾情上這種中式的“麻辣誘惑”。 餐廳分別有室內和室外餐

There has been much hype about this restaurant. My foodie colleague mentioned it, Time out Hong kong rate it 4 out of 5, so I figure give it a try. The deco reflects east meet west philosophy. The entrance is very attractive with Chinese Opera character, complemented with beautiful flower arrangement. The rest of the restaurant reminds me of a typical new york chic eatery: dark, mysterious and sexy. 20-30 something expats and local swanky boys and girls filled the place with glamor and energy.

最近完成了一項重要的project，於是老闆便選了這間新開的川菜館舉行慶功宴。他說這間餐廳的廚師都大有來頭，加上座落於 J Senses，令我們對這頓晚餐的期望大大提高。一踏出升降機，眼前只有漆黑一片，跟想像中的格局相差甚遠。侍應帶我們經過走廊，走到餐廳最入的一張長型檯坐下。這裡的裝潢簡約並以木色作為主調，配合柔和的燈光，感覺舒適。仔細看看，原來其中的一面牆壁懸掛著一幅戲子的油畫，加上兩旁的屏風，頓時為摩登的環境添上一點傳統的中國色彩。餐廳還設有露天雅座，剛巧更有一班外籍食客在吞雲噴霧，幸好玻璃門是緊緊關上的。不過，這裡大部分的食客都是外國人，侍應的英文又非常流利，加上端上的是清水而非熱茶 ----- 其實，這裡的川菜是否正宗的呢？無論如何，我們都先試一試眼前的前菜，除了清甜的節瓜，另外的香辣椰菜、麻辣南瓜都比預期中辣，似乎要先考驗一下我們的味蕾。我們當中有完全不吃辣的人，亦有很嗜辣的，所以點的菜式既有辣也有不辣。至於我自己也喜歡吃辣的，不過慣常只會點小至中辣。以下簡單的「辣度星星評級制」，便是按我個人的標準所訂的。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~☆☆☆☆☆ 一d都唔辣

I think there is something very addictive about chili and Szechuan pepper corns... I can‘t stop eating it.. Even though my mouth is on fire! Being a chili addict i just had to try this place out... This place is epic, the ambience and decor is sleek and dimly lit with great music to accompany it. Love how the tables are nicely spaced out which gives high privacy for romantic dinners.The food... Where do i start?! The ginger beef is my personal favorite, the taste builds up and you are hit with
