I find that it pays to return to places you've neglected because you'll be reminded why you used to love dining there in the first place. It was the case for me with Si Chuan Dou Hua at ParkRoyal Hotel Beach Road.
My impromptu decision to have dinner there led to a really pleasant meal. Nearly everything we had was tasty, and in terms of portion size, even the smallest one which was what I got for each dish, was big enough to feed 3 to 4 pax. These are what I'd recommend:

1) Sliced Pig's Ears in Sichuan Pepper Sauce ($14++) - It was potently spicy with that addictive numbing "ma la" kick.

2) Stirfried Shredded Potatoes and Green Chilli ($16++) - If you don't mind loading up on carbs, this is very appetising as there is a tinge of vinegar used in the cooking of the firm strips of potato.

3) Steamed Beancurd and Egg White with Minced Chicken ($18++) - Their tofu is made in-house and is wonderfully soft and silky.

4) Diced Beef in Black Pepper Sauce ($24++) - A classic that is executed well with very tender cubes of beef.

Service at this restaurant was also above average, which added to the positive experience.
