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.

The spicy fragrant broth is aromatic and not overly fiery. The spicy level was comfortable for me. The fish is fried to a slight crisp on both sides and moist inside. The meat is soft and reveals a tinge of smokiness with each bite. The accompanying veg provides a nice and juicy crunch. I would recommend pairing it with rice as it can get quite salty over time.

The queue and the waiting time to get our food cooked can easily go up to an hour. The secret to shorter waiting time is to call and pre-order in advance.

Can’t believe the Sichuan a la carte buffet is only $29.90! Because if you look at the dishes they come in extremely big sizes 😱

Came here with my bf and we were honestly impressed. A la Carte buffet means we didn’t have to get out of our seat everything is ordered at your table. And it’s freshly made- every dish came piping hot. There are more than 25 dishes to choose from and we had a hard time choosing because we wanted to try all they all of them— there are chicken, beef, pork, seafood, veg, noodles, dessert.

My favourites were La zi ji (spicy fried chicken) – super crispy and really spicy, but so addictive. I kept going back for more even though my mouth was on fire 😂 and Prawn with vermicelli – they actually cook this in front of you! Great for me to film for the ’gram, and also it also looks as tasty as it looks. We ate so much (this was lunch) that we didn’t eat dinner that day! He he he

Location is also super convenient you can go by MRT to Chinatown station, its at Chinatown Point shopping mall. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and want something filling without spending too much!

[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] @shuyanrestaurant is conveniently located on level 1 of Chinatown Point, offering Chinese dishes with an ala carte buffet concept!

At $29.90 per adult, you get to order a variety of meat, seafood and carbs. Our favourite had to be the Garlic Vermicelli Prawn Balls with its strong garlic umami and snappy fresh prawns! Dishes like their Fried Chicken with Dried Chilli aka La Zi Ji were great as well, with the chicken pieces being slightly bigger and still really crunchy!

However, admittedly there were some dishes that were misses as well, like the Fried Rice with Eggs which could have been more flavourful.

Overall, the experience is still decent and may be worth it with a large group of big eaters. The dishes served are of full sizes so a larger group will mean that you can try more dishes!

Thank you @burpple for the invite and @shuyanrestaurant for the food!
