Located within the same coffeeshop as the current 88 Hong Kong Roasted Meat (situated opposite the temple just behind Cheng Mun Chee Kee Pig Organ Soup/VXX Cooperative) is Hua Yang SiChuan Cuisine — the corner-most stall located at one end of the coffeeshop.

I am not one who would choose to have Chinese fare as the first choice, but it does help when there are others around to help one take the plunge. Pretty impressed even though I don't have this often; sure enough, this bowl wasn't numbing or in fact spicy which works very well for my palate, but I like how it's all vinegary and full of the aroma of the chili used — it's fragrant in a pronounced manner where it hits right till the point where it other cases it should turn numbing and spicy but this is absolutely drinkable (or in other words, it puts the "hiam" into the hiamjio). The noodles also provide for an appropriate bite that is slurpy and does not take much effort to chew. If you aren't a fan of SiChuan Cuisine for its spiciness and numbness but love the general flavours overall, this would be one for you.
