I LOVE Sichuan food!One of my favourite dishes is 辣子雞 (chongqing deep fried hot chicken) - and I’ve struggled to find a place that makes it properly! Finally, I found it at Sijie! I was so excited and told Sijie how much I loved it 🤤 (She’s a really lovely and sweet lady!)Another one of my favourites is 水煮魚 (fish in chilli oil) and 水煮牛 (beef in chilli oil). We ordered the beef and that took me to food heaven. The flavours were intensely satisfying - Sijie was able to bring out the various layers of flavours in the dish. Loved the noodles in it too! We also ordered the shredded potatoes, Sichuan cold noodles and the stir-fried asparagus lettuce. Everything was delicious and had its own unique flavours. This meal really took my taste buds on a roller coaster ride! Can’t wait to go again with a big group of friends to try more dishes on the menu! I was too busy eating and forgot to take photos of the other dishes (oops!). …Read More

NINETYs has been on my list of restaurants to try for a while! Now that there’s one in Soho I popped by for lunch.Having had a really heavy dinner the night before, I wanted something light. The brunch option was perfect - 4-items with toast for $108. I love eggs ❤️ so I ordered the chilli scrambled eggs, avocado, kale and yoghurt with granola. The scrambled eggs were soft and creamy (though a tad more chilli flakes would’ve taken me to food heaven). An entire avocado, slightly seasoned, was served, which complemented my eggs with toast. The kale salad was fresh and refreshingly seasoned. Lastly, the yoghurt tasted like what yoghurt should taste like. One of my friends ordered the Siu Wan rice and the other ordered the Eel Rice. Didn’t try so can’t comment! Also ordered a dessert but I’m more of a chocolate person so.. I don’t want to write a biased review. Would I visit again? Definitely! …Read More

The gelato was delicious, as expected of Venchi! The lady sales assistant today was a bit rude, which turned my excitement into a bit of anger and disappointment. I tried the hazelnut and the chocolate - amazingly intense flavours that tantalised my taste buds 🤤…Read More
