This was a complimentary dish from one of the lovely staff and it turned out to be a highlight. Silky poached chicken, chilled and drenched in fragrant chilli oil with crunchy peanuts, cucumber and mashed garlic. It looked fiery but wasn’t overly spicy, bold, savoury and beautifully balanced 》$10.80

These wantons looked fiery in its deep red broth but the spice was surprisingly gentle. Each wonton was plump, silky and filled with well‑seasoned meat, soaking up just enough of the fragrant chilli oil to stay flavourful without overwhelming. A dish that balances comfort. Bold in appearance, mellow in taste and easy to love 》$8.80 / 8 Pcs

Lightly crisp florets with a touch of seasoning and savoury depth. A simple, comforting side that balances out the spicier dishes, making it a quiet but essential part of the spread 》$13.80

Fried till crisp, tossed with heaps of dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. Crazy spicy, crunchy, aromatic and addictive. The kind of dish that keeps you reaching back even as the heat builds 》$20.80

This grilled fish was highly recommended by the staff and it didn’t disappoint. Served bubbling with onions, beansprout, green and red chillies. The fish was tender and soaked up all the flavours beautifully.

Though it looked bright red and fiery, the spice was actually well‑balanced. The mid spicy broth was drinkable, making the whole dish comforting rather than overwhelming. A dish that’s easy to enjoy and share 》$29.80 / Limbo Fish

Skewers aren’t the main draw here but they’re worth a try. Had the lamb, pork and mushroom skewers, all grilled to tender perfection with char and seasoning. It’s been a while since skewers felt this soft, tender and satisfying.

Lamb Skewers 》$5.80 / 3 Pcs
Pork Skewers 》$4.80 / 3 Pcs
Mushroom Skewers 》$4.80 / 3 Pcs

Handmade noodles with a nice bite, tossed in chilli oil, Sichuan pepper, beansprouts and spring onion. Not overly spicy, just a subtle tingle that keeps it interesting. Refreshing and easy to enjoy, it works perfectly as an appetiser to kick off the meal 》$8.80

Plump, freshly made wantons sitting in a well-balanced mix of chilli oil and vinegar which was more sour than spicy but in a good way. The tang hits first then the heat creeps in gently with a satisfying kick. Skin was silky, filling was juicy and honestly, its value for money. Could easily snack on this on its own. There was a queue on a weekend noon but it’s worth the wait 》$6.50

A signature and popular Sichuan dish that features cubes of chicken coated with spices and fried until golden brown and crispy along with tons of dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. It is spicy yet addictive. Be warned of the electrifyingly spicy and numbing sensation. I personally couldn't take the original level of spice and requested a less spicy 少辣 order which was still numbing and spicy on an acceptable level.

Sour and spicy broth with pickled mustard greens (酸菜) and fish slices. The yellow-green broth is made with various kinds of pickled veggies such as pickled mustard greens, pickled chilli peppers and pickled ginger. The fish slices are super tender with a velvety silky texture and zesty taste. The portion is good for sharing and it comes with glass noodles in there. This is an appetising dish and really comforting to have on a chilly day.

A classic dish from Sichuan cuisine that features crispy cauliflower florets stir-fried with bacon, garlic, scallion and chilli peppers in an aromatic savoury sauce. The cauliflower absorbs the flavour of the sauce so well and makes it addictively tasty.

An appetising and mildly tangy side dish made of shredded potatoes stir-fried with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies. The potatoes are not too soft, retaining a light crisp/crunch and the “hot and sour” 酸辣 flavour is not too overpowering in flavour.

I'm in a relationship with food. Why can't we just declare our never ending love and vows towards some food item? I'm sure that would not result in divorces.
