Admittedly, it was spicy, but not as overbearing as I would have expected it to be, complimenting the tender and springy beef slices really well. The highlight of this dish however, were how tasty the beef slices were on its own. They subtly carried the flavours of the Szechuan sauce, but still managed to retain their original flavours.
Teapot Soup of the Day ($12). Varying on different days, this dish would still certainly carry its unique spin, with its contents double boiled in a small teapot. We loved the whole idea, and apart from its novelty, the robust and tasty flavours of the soup; maybe only achieved by boiling it in the teapot.
Shanghainese Wontons in Red Oil Vinegar ($6.50). A pretty standard dish, it sat well with our palates, being not too strong in its taste, carrying just a slight spicy note with it. The vegetable stuffing was quite filling and sufficiently satisfying.
Spinach with Pine Nuts ($8). Although cooked well, this dish was slightly too salty for us, such that it tended to overpower the original taste of the spinach itself, instead of complimenting it.
For appetisers, we tried their Steamed Chicken with Szechuan Chilli Sauce ($12). A cold dish, it was pretty refreshing, and the chicken was tender with a distinct firm bite. Along with a layer of cold jellied fats, and accompanied by a slightly spicy yet tangy szechuan sauce, it proved to be one of our favourites here
