It’s a no-brainer that our love for spicy foods knows no bounds. Whether it is a tucking into a bubbling pot of fish head curry, or scouring for the best sambal for our nasi lemak, we flock to spicy foods like moths to a flame. That’s why we’re head over heels for Si Wei Mao Cai, a humble Sichuan restaurant located in Chinatown that reigns supreme with its fiendishly spicy foods.

Ready to set your tongue ablaze? Then we highly recommend diving into a pot of Si Wei Stewed Beef in Hot Szechuan Pepper Sauce. Adventurous eaters should not miss the restaurant’s rendition of Si Wei Chilli Frog where tender frog legs are stir-fried in a blend of fresh and dried chillies. Then wash down the spiciness with the mild vinegary Pickled Vegetables with Beef, or any number of Chinese wines and liquors available here. If you ask us, we personally can’t say no to a cold glass of Hai Zi Lan or a Mao Tai.

Aside from its delectable dishes, Si Wei Mao Cai also prides itself on its top-notch service. And honestly, we’re bowled over not only by the incredibly polite and efficient wait staff, but the kitchen who tries to accommodate any requests for Sichuan dishes not on the menu. (Sep 2017)
