I've been to House of Beijing three times now. It's got a menu with lots of spicy options, and although some of the dishes are so-so, some are really great.Here's what we had last time: pan-fried pork dumplings, soup noodles with double chili, and fried chicken with chili.The pan-fried pork dumplings were amazing. Crispy on the bottom, chewy on top, and so juicy inside I thought I was biting into a soup dumpling. These are really good. 10/10The soup noodles with double chili were quite good as w
Here's what we had last time: pan-fried pork dumplings, soup noodles with double chili, and fried chicken with chili.
The pan-fried pork dumplings were amazing. Crispy on the bottom, chewy on top, and so juicy inside I thought I was biting into a soup dumpling. These are really good. 10/10
The soup noodles with double chili were quite good as well. I think 'double chili' meant Sichuan peppercorn + dried red chili, because the broth had lots of both. Eating the noodles was a very powerful taste experience, with the strong numbing of the Sichuan peppers and the spice. I'd give it higher marks but I thought it was too greasy-- surely a less greasy version of this dish would taste just as powerful. 7/10
The fried chicken with chili-- I thought I had had this before at HoB, but it seemed pretty lackluster this time. It was just fried boneless pieces of chicken with a large amount of dried red chilis (if I understand correctly, these are mostly for garnish. I did eat several of them and they were extremely hot. That's why you order a beer!) The chicken was just a little dry, not very juicy, pretty flavorless. 5/10
I should mention that when I'd gone here before, my favorite dish was the eggplant & tofu dish (I can't recall exactly what it was called, but I don't think there are too many eggplant & tofu dishes on the menu. Look for one with a spicy symbol.) Highly recommended.
HoB, as I say, is hit or miss. But if you know what to order, you can get some really good food. And it's one of the few places that does real spice in the Citywalk area. Total score: 8/10
