The popular '100 Sichuan Delights, 1 Gastronomic Feast' promotion returns for the fourth consecutive year at Si Chuan Dou Hua, PARKROYAL On Beach Road. This year's promotion will be available from 8 July to 30 September 2019, with 102 dishes in 26 flavour profiles on the menu. A showcase of the multiple facets of Sichuan cuisine beyond the commonly known spicy and mala flavour.
The promotion is available at $60 per adult, and diners get to enjoy a complimentary glass of sake while children from the age of 6 to 12 dine at $30 per pax.
Chilled Sliced Radish in Sweet and Sour Sauce
Stir-fried Sliced Pork in Sweet and Sour Sauce
Most of us will associate Sichuan cuisine with spicy and mala flavour. Sweet and sour is also part of the flavours of Sichuan cuisine. Chef Zeng Feng has presented this flavour in the Chilled Sliced Radish in Sweet and Sour Sauce and Stir-fried Sliced Pork in Sweet and Sour Sauce. This definitely changes our perspective that Sichuan cuisine is all about spiciness.
Stir-fried Sliced Fish in Tomato Sauce
If you prefer something sweeter in flavour, there is the Stir-fried Sliced Fish in Tomato Sauce. A very delightful combination of crispy exterior and moist interior, coated in sweet tomato sauce.
Pork Belly in Chinese Rice Wine
Chilled Chicken in Chinese Rice Wine
Moving on, we have more dishes that showcase the non-spicy side of Sichuan cuisine. We have the Pork Belly in Chinese Rice Wine and Chilled Chicken in Chinese Rice Wine. The addition of the Chines rice wine in cooking gives the dishes a beautiful aroma.
Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli and Cashew Nut
Long Beans in Ginger Sauce
Beancurd with Sichuan Minced Pepper
Until now, the dishes we tired have been non-spicy. There are many types of spiciness in Sichuan cuisine that gives you the heat and tongue burning sensation. Let's take it slow and make some entry-level introduction such as the Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli and Cashew Nut, Long Beans in Ginger Sauce and Beancurd with Sichuan Minced Pepper. The used of dried chilli, garlic and Sichuan pepper give the dish the heat, but it doesn't make you break into a sweat.
Eggplant with Garlic and Chilli Sauce
Sliced Pork in Garlic and Chilli Sauce
Eggplant and Minced Meat in Garlic and Chilli Sauce
Stir-fried Prawns in Garlic and Chilli Sauce
For something more vibrant and more piquant in flavour are the garlic and chilli sauce. Chef Zeng Feng introduces the flavour in his interpretation of the Eggplant and Minced Meat in Garlic and Chilli Sauce, Stir-fried Prawns in Garlic and Chilli Sauce, Eggplant with Garlic and Chilli Sauce, and Sliced Pork in Garlic and Chilli Sauce.
Braised Fish in Spicy Bean Paste
Marinated Chicken Feet with Preserved Chilli
Chilled Pork Knuckle in Chilli Oil
Chilled Chicken in Spicy Bean Paste
Shredded Pig Stomach in Chilli Oil
At the heat of the promotion is the spiciness that is close to our heart of Sichuan cuisine. I really enjoy the fiery flavour that is spicy and also packed an aroma punch in the dishes such as the Braised Fish in Spicy Bean Paste, Marinated Chicken Feet with Preserved Chilli, Chilled Pork Knuckle in Chilli Oil, Chilled Chicken in Spicy Bean Paste and Shredded Pig Stomach in Chilli Oil.
Steamed Egg in Prawn Paste
An interesting item in the 100 Sichuan Delights, 1 Gastronomic Feast menu is the Steamed Egg in Prawn Paste. A dish that introduces us to the salty, savoury sauce used in Sichuan cuisine.
I really enjoy the 100 Sichuan Delights, 1 Gastronomic Feast promotion. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also a very enriching gastronomic experience that widens my knowledge of Sichuan cuisine. It is not impossible to mention all the 102 dishes in 26 flavours in this review. Hence I would recommend you to make a reservation and experience it for yourself.
Note: This is an invited tasting.
