Here are 5 Chinatown Hidden Food Gems you should try for an awesome day of gastronomic discovery.
SiChuan Restaurant
The boldness, spiciness, and pungent flavours of garlic and chilli peppers, are what make Sichuan cuisine distinct and hard to forget. Known for their good service and affordable delicious food, SiChuan restaurant will give you the most authentic Sichuan dining experience.
Enjoy their Signature Grilled Fish topped with a generous amount of garlic and chilli pepper for $22 per serving.

BBQ Box
With its minimalist exterior and cosy interior design, BBQ Box is an inviting and instagramable food hub. Aside from the flavours that are coming out of their marinated meat, well-seasoned seafood, and fresh veggies that are grilled to perfection, their skewers are just so convenient to eat. Just grab a stick and bite, and you’ll find yourself satisfied.
BBQ Box also provides a hot plate to keep your skewers warm while you catch up with your loved ones. Expect to spend $30 per person as you might find it hard to resist ordering more.

Kra Pow Thai
Born out of the theory that spicy noodles should be eaten with an ice-cold beer, Pad Kee Mao’s literal translation is Drunken Noodles. And Kra Pow Thai is the best place where you can devour this spicy noodle goodness.
Another belief that surrounds this dish is that it is known to cure a very bad hangover. And it makes a lot of sense because the spiciness towards the end will surely awaken your senses.
