Sichuan House Seafood

The night before I came here, I lost my phone in a taxi, generally had a bad night and hoped that the next day would be better. Sichuan House Seafood with its beautiful décor, top-​notch service, and impeccable food (matched with the company of some great mates) made my Saturday night awesome!
To start my review off~ for everyone who is unfamiliar with Szechuan/​Sichuan (different was of spelling the same time) food, it specialises in spices. Crazy Wing in the CBD? Yeah — that’s Szechuan food. But don’t be discouraged if you have sensitive taste buds that can’t handle it — they offer to make their dishes milder if need be and there are plenty of non-​spicy dishes as well.
Ambiance: This is a beautifully decorated restaurant with 2 floors and several private rooms that can be rented for functions. Come here dressed relatively classy!
Customer Service: We had very attentive and professional service. The manager, Jerry, was especially great and seriously knew his stuff! I guess it is what you would expect of a man who has worked for a 5-​star hotel in the past.
Food: INCREDIBLE. Honestly, incredible. My recommendations…
— Pork Belly: Some of the most delicious and tender pork belly I have ever had. The perfect amount of flavour and garhnished with veggies.
— Roasted Eggplant w/​BBQ Sauce — Sounds weird, but it’s a Chinese-​style BBQ sauce and was probably my favourite dish out of all of them. Went fantastic with the rice, explosive in flavour, and great texture.
— Xiao Long Bao — So when I have ever NOT recommended Xiao Long Bao? Those heavenly morsels of deliciousness? Yeah — order them because Sichuan House Seafood excels in this category. If I pick up a Xiao Long Bao with chopsticks and the wrap doesn’t break but I can feel the soup swishing around inside, that’s usually a good sign.
— Roast Duck — Who doesn’t love a nice Roast Duck? How about a Roast Duck perfectly cooked and the flavours were allowed to seep in? Yeah — I think that kind of Roast Duck is gonna be universally loved.
There were a few other dishes that were also incredible, but those 4 I just recommended really stuck out in my mind.

But do you want to know the real reason why this place deserves 5 stars? We were served sliced watermelon… with the shell of the watermelon cut into the shape of a phoenix and presented for display. I wanted to take that thing home. Pictures coming soon.

Sichuan culinary is well known by its hot & spicy food. Definitely this is a must-​go place for those who love spicy food. However, as the chef said, Sichuan food is dedicated in taste not only hot! Indeed, there are many tasty food that are not hot at all. So everyone can find his/​her favorite dishes here.
