Xiao La Jiao

Bestie and i wanted to order some appetizer to share and this caught our eye! I had friends commenting that why on earth i want to try it as they find it so weird. HahaAnyway appearance wise of the dish, i find it ok. My first reaction upon trying the first piece also ok. Quite a nice chewy texture and with or without the chili that comes with it, taste alright too.I don't mind ordering this again if someone is sharing it with me…Read More

Sichuan’s chefs are legendary for their ability to combine a huge variety of tastes such as sweet, sour, bitter, hot, salty, aromatic, fragrant and numbing into exquisite compound flavours.I am excited to start my Sichuan food journey!Husband & Wife Beef Offal with Spicy Sauce – too spicy for me yet I couldn’t resist and had 2 slices of it. A must have for all beef lovers!Pig’s Ear Slices with Spicy Sauce – the name may sound a little unsavory but I can assure you there is nothing distasteful about it. Infact it is interestingly crunchy and jelly-like! Now I can officially tell everyone I know I’ve eaten Pig’s ear! hahaCamphor & Tea Smoked Duck – I am no fan of the duck cos of the aftertaste but this is so delicious! Isaac, the marketing manager, was explaining to us that it takes the chef 26 hours to smoke the duck thus the tenderness and nice flavoured tastePork Strips in Sweet Bean Sauce – another of my favourite for the night! Love the sweet pork strips for its really very tasty! You can wrap it on the bean skin and roll it up like a popiah and eat it!Ge Le Shan ‘La Zi’ Chicken – Yes, you can tell from the picture that this dish is really spicy. It doesn’t taste like chicken for its really crispy and if you don’t pick the right color, you might really end up eating the chilli instead of the chicken cube! haha…Read More

Usually when it comes to Sichuan food, i like to go for the spicy version of 水煮鱼. But for this visit, my friend wanted to try this version with pickled greens which i don't mind. It sounds very appetizing! =)When it first arrived, i thought presentation was pretty good. Good start! Took one fish slice to try, it was fresh! Very happy. Tried the gravy... A bit sour and appetizing due to the pickled greens, i like!Strongly recommend this dish if you are coming to Xiao La Jiao to try their food =)…Read More

This cold appertiser is boiled chicken served with a spicy chilli. The chicken is tender and matches the fiery hot chilli and to cool down eat a slice of cucumber.Another Szechuan specialty we ordered the Stired Fry French Beans. This version is not the chared burnt french bean but has the usual mince pork, it is not bad.This i s another spicy dish that goes well with rice. It is strips of tender pork cooked in chilli, spices and peppercorns.To accompanied the dishes we ordered steam corn rice, but I find this nothing special as it does not has the corn fragrant.We were given a bowl of mini rice balls for bringing the flyer which they were giving out in the mall. The pink and white rice balls were chewy and the fermented rice sweet soup was not too strong of liquer.Overall the portion is quite small enough for 2 to 4 persons which you need to order more dishes. Prices for main courses range around $8 to $18. The taste is not bad but do not expect top end Szechuan food. …Read More
