DaXi Sichuan
"Unlike many other spicy retreats, DaXi Sichuan doesn’t always go for the jugular with that tongue-numbing one-two punch. Instead, this elegant spot on the second floor of the New World Mall shares a more nuanced approach to regional Chinese cuisine—imagine slivers of cold marinated duck in a pool of fiery chili-infused oil. Other dishes, like the pig ear and wild mushroom or cucumber roll showcase subtle flavors, while Tibet-style pork ribs dusted with peppercorns are tender and juicy. Even the straightforward house special, featuring a mix of fluffy rice, pork and potatoes, is known to satisfy many an appetite.Service is sporadic and at times food arrives at lightning speed, but on its best days, this kitchen is capable of delicious work." - Michelin Inspector
