I was surprised to see some Sichuan dishes at SLL so decided to try it because I like Sichuan dishes.


They had four different items in hot chili oil: Seafood, Beef, Pork and Vegetarian and two appetizers which were tripe or pigs stomach.
Clearly the seafood in hot chili oil was my pick because it had prawns and jellyfish which is not often served in Sichuan restaurants.
The tripe was a bit repetitive though because there was an appetizer version with it and it was in the chili oil version.
Anyway, got the tripe for appetizer and a few other Shanghai dishes.
The prawns in chili oil was spicier than I expected but you could still taste the freshness of the prawns which were springy.

It would be great if it came with rice as it really goes well with rice.
The beef tripe was soft with a chew, also marinated well but a little too salty.

For carbs, had the noodles with spare ribs (pork chop in Shanghai cuisine), the noodles were plain which goes well with the chili and stronger dishes.

We also had the Shanghai dumplings as these are my favourites especially with the appetizing vinegar.

Overall, I was pretty stuffed but satisfied with the spicy dinner.
