易家酒店万科金域西岭分店

Set in a delicate stone garden, this restaurant in a quaint building offers private dining rooms only. The kitchen team painstakingly and faithfully revives nostalgic Sichuanese recipes. For example, the cabbage in chicken consommé takes hours to prepare and boasts a rich, crystal clear broth with exceptional depth. Contrasting textures and a tingling sensation depict the mapo tofu with diced beef and fish snout. Delicate service adds to the experience.

Privacy is a priority here and the tables are separated by wooden slatted partitions - private rooms also available. The veteran kitchen team specialises in traditional Sichuanese dishes, many of which require painstaking execution. The sautéed pork liver with chilli is perfectly cooked with just the right amount of numbing heat. The classic cold appetiser, fu qi fei pian or sliced beef offal in chili oil, is springy, flavourful and addictive.

Chefs Bruce and his partner Justin opened Brustin in 2023 in a design-forward space in line with the artistic flair of the Tianfu Art Park complex that houses it. The dinner prix-fixes have 12 to 15 courses, re-interpreting Sichuan cuisine with Western techniques and an emphasis on seasonality. Diners can take home the paper menu, which features illustrations by local artists. Exquisite food is matched by the professional service of the servers and sommelier.

Mapo tofu is a world-famous Sichuanese classic dating back to the Qing Dynasty. Word has it that this century-old shop is the true original source of this numbing, spicy dish, invented by Lady Chen. Silky tofu, ground beef and spices are cooked in a stone pot that stays hot for a long time, perfect with a bowl of steamed rice. Zhong dumplings and lotus leaf-wrapped steamed pork in spiced rice flour are also worth trying.

Right in the busy city centre, this elegant restaurant comes with a terrace that offers a tranquil refuge from the hustle and bustle. The wood-rich interior is equally serene, boasting stylised Chinese motifs. The kitchen excels in home-style Sichuanese favourites and street food, from the incredibly silky Xipu silver carp perfumed with garlic, to seafood-laced, braised pork balls stuffed with salted egg yolks, drizzled in a rich, sticky gravy.
