Ambiance
First impressions matter, and Chengdu Taste doesn’t disappoint. The restaurant’s clean and spacious interior immediately sets the stage for an enjoyable dining experience. It’s a refreshing change of scenery from the typical American diners I’ve been frequenting lately.
Authentic Sichan Flavours Begins
With just three of us at the table, including a little one who isn’t too keen on extreme spice, we decided to explore a few dishes that were on the milder side of the Sichuan spectrum. Here’s what we indulged in:
(a) Chicken and Fish Tofu Stew: Despite its seemingly harmless appearance, this dish packs a spicy punch that’s characteristic of Sichuan cuisine. Surprisingly, even my kid could handle the heat, which speaks to the skill of the chefs in balancing flavors. The tender chunks of chicken and fish combined with silky tofu create a harmonious and comforting stew that’s perfect for warming the soul.
Price: 21.99 USD, 30 SGD
(b) Snowflake Beef Slices in Golden Sauce: This dish was the star of the show for me. The beef was cooked to perfection, offering just the right amount of tenderness and flavor. There was a delightful balance between meat and fat, ensuring it wasn’t tough at all. The golden sauce was a savory masterpiece, adding layers of complexity to each bite. It’s a must-try for any beef lover.
Price: 22.99 USD, 31.38 SGD
(c) Cuiyun Boiled Fish in Pickled Vegetables: If you’re a fan of fish, you won’t be disappointed by this offering. The fish was flawlessly cooked, achieving that perfect balance between tender and firm. The soup was almost so delectable that you could sip it like a beverage (if you are ok with spiciness from peppercorn).The pickled vegetables added a zesty kick, cutting through the richness of the broth.
Price: 20.99USD, 28.65 SGD
The Perfect Pairing: Rice: Every dish at Chengdu Taste pairs incredibly well with their steamed rice. It not only complements the flavors but also provides a satisfying balance to the spiciness of some dishes.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Chengdu Taste delivers an extraordinary journey through Authentic Sichuan flavors that will transport you far from the ordinary. The authenticity of Sichuan cuisine shines through in every dish, even the milder options. Just be prepared for generous portions; we couldn’t finish everything in one go and had to take home some delicious leftovers.

So, rally your loved ones and embark on a spicy, savory journey that promises unforgettable moments and tantalizing tastes!
