We love to come here for some really spicy and numbing Sichuan food for a number of reasons. First, of course, is the good food. Second, there is valet parking which is free with validation as parking is one of the pain points in HK. Third, the restaurant is situated in a hotel with a nice entrance and lobby, while the restaurant itself is spacious and high end. All of these factors lead to a good overall dining experience. For Sichuan food, we usually order the saliva chicken and Sichuan poache
For Sichuan food, we usually order the saliva chicken and Sichuan poached sliced fish in hot chili oil (水煮魚).
Saliva chicken - the chicken is tender and juicy with succulent meat, but the star of the dish is really the spicy sauce that is served separately on another bowl. The spiciness is just right with a mild numbing sensation, and goes perfectly with the chicken. You can choose to pour the spicy sauce onto the chicken or use it as a dipping sauce.
Sichuan poached sliced fish - the sliched fish are fresh and cooked just right as it arrives soft and smooth. The aroma of the chili oil surrounds the entire table as we wait anxiously to dive in. The potato noodle included is chewy and delicious as it has soaked up the sauce. The entire experience is mouth-numbing and sweaty but somehow it's all worth it. It's amazingly addictive as we keep reaching for more fish and noodle even as our tongue is screaming it can't take it anymore!
We've only come here during lunch time so we have tried their dim sum, but they pale in comparison to the Sichuan dishes.
