Chili Fagara is a small restaurant furnished with dark wood in Chinese style. It has well captured the traits of Sichuan cuisine; enable the diners to rediscover the true local Sichuan cuisine in Hong Kong. If diners are looking for a dramatic challenge for your palate, Chili Fagara will offer you a remarkable experience that you will never forget. A quick word about the menu.

]Hot & Sour Soup
This is a warming soup, which is perfect in the winter’s day. It is crunchy, full of texture and flavour, a great balance of hot and sour flavour. It was slightly sweeter than previously, not as hot as I was expecting.
Beef Onion SoupThis is one of my favourite. The stew beef is exceptionally tender and the onion gave the soup a slight sweet flavour. The Sichuan pepper corns offer a numbing taste. More importantly, everything integrated well together and the beef has soaked in all the flavours. The soup is absolutely astonishing.
Kung Po ChickenThis is a classic dish from Sichuan. The sweetness and tanginess were well balanced, spicier would be ideal. The chicken is well seasoned and coated with potato flour (was crispy in the outside). The flavour of Sichuan pepper corn and dried chillies were nicely infused with the chicken. For sure, this is a lovely local Sichuan dish.
Baby Squid Simmers in Red Hot Chilli and Fagara BrothThis is a mouth tingling numbing dish. The spicy soup stock base is a delicious broth in which fresh ingredients are poached. It is probably one of the best dish I recently had, loved the burning taste. It felt like a sensation.
Dan Dan NoodlesThis is a famous Sichuan dish originated from Chengdu. There are plenty of variation, some spicier and some drier than others. The one from Chili Fagara had a thick peanut sesame sauce; it is a sweeter and drier version of Dan dan noodles. The noodles was al dente, would love some crushed roast peanuts to go with it!
Chili Fagara’s quality of food is outstanding. I have been a regular diner; it has consistently given me an unforgettable experience. The ingredients are fresh and the dishes are full of flavours. The cooking timing and techniques are faultless. But if you are looking for good dining services, you better bugger off elsewhere and start learning how to appreciate Sichuan food.
