Shu Yan Sichuan Cuisine 蜀宴川菜

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!

Would you try this all-you-can-eat Sichuan buffet?

For bold, punchy Sichuan flavours, Shu Yan’s all you can eat à la carte buffet is a strong option. At $29.90++ per adult, it offers good variety and solid flavour at a decent price point.

Start with the Chili Shrimp Balls and Garlic Vermicelli Prawn Balls. Both arrive hot and garlicky, with juicy shrimp. The Boiled Fish Fillet in Chili Oil is a standout. Spicy, numbing, and full of aroma. The Stewed Fish Fillet with Pickled Vegetables adds a satisfying tang to the meal.

Meat dishes like Sichuan Boiled Beef and Twice Cooked Pork are loaded with heat and savoury depth. The Fried Chicken with Dried Chili brings crunch and spice. Kung Po Chicken and Lemongrass Chicken offer familiar flavours with a twist.

Mapo Tofu, Fried French Beans, and Shredded Cabbage with Pork bring that home-style comfort. Fried Rice with Egg and Fried Noodles are reliable fillers between bites of spice.

Finish with chilled Ice Jelly or Glutinous Rice Cake with Brown Sugar for a sweet end.

Buffet is limited to 120 minutes, with a minimum of 2 diners per table. Portions are generous, and dishes arrive fast, making this a satisfying option for those who enjoy Sichuan cuisine.

The si zi dou is quite average, I quite like the mapo tofu dish too.
The xlb is also average.

Remember to plan your burpple deal usage properly.
The staff are quite nice too and there was complementary dessert.

Wanted to have some Chinese food.
The dishes here are a good localised version of Chinese cuisine cause it’s not very spicy.

We really like the shredded pork here, better than other place version. The la zi ji was also quite generous. The suan la yu was average but decent anount of fish.
