Sichuan Rouge, helmed by renowned Sichuan chef Hu Taiqing and home-grown veteran Kenny Chan, just soft launched. The restaurant aims to showcase affordable, fine Sichuan cuisine with authentic ingredients sourced from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Challenging the notion that Sichuan food is solely about numbing spiciness, the menu offers a rich and complex array of flavours, from razor clams with Sichuan peppercorn to the popular Chengdu street food of sliced beef and ox tripe in chilli sauce. Other highlights include the succulent deep-fried sliced beef with Sichuan peppercorn and rock salt, chilled South African abalone with Hangzhou chilli, and young pigeon with pepper.
