Chinese$$
Loud, busy, fast, fun – the cult of Dainty Sichuan continues with number three in the trilogy by chef Tina Li and husband Ye Shao. It’s an upstairs funhouse of hustle and hotpots-for-one – solo-serve hotpots are all the rage in China don’t you know? Slide into a plump red booth. Your ‘placemat’ is an induction cooker. Choose your broth – maybe chicken and abalone or a gutsy ‘super spicy’ loaded with chilli and numbing Sichuan pepper. Choose your ingredients – maybe wild bamboo shots, exotic mushrooms, gizzards or wagyu. Hit the sauce (there are over 30) then get cooking. This is DIY dining at its best. Also in South Yarra & Melbourne CBD.
