Szechuan Court

First thing that greeted me was the big hmm, huge maybe..doorway at Szechuan court which was craved from elm wood with big red lanterns hanging high on both sides. First thought was the entrance was abit intimidating and austere, however on further dining thru the night, I realised that it wasn't a place for hushed conversations or high aristocrats, rather the restaurant fashioned itself more for the vibrant crowd who dined in a family orientated and spirited manner! Besides it being very much a family restaurant, it also catered an intimate experience for those who needs privacy in the lush booth seats that come attached with fuchsia drapes. I think i would have like one of those booth seats as all of them came with a window view towards our infamous 'durian'. alritey now for the ambience, let's bring in the food!

Dinner menu for the Yeo Family:

To start off was Vegetarian Soup Jyunsai with bamboo pith, very clear and light, which will make you feel so very wholesome and healthy. What a great way to kick things off! Next dish came up real fast, even before i had time to finish slurping up my soup.

*drumrolls* please...

Introducing the time-honoured favourite Szechuan Smoked Duck with Camphor Wood and Tea Leaves. True to its name, its really good. Highly recommended. The breast meat though dry (come on, all breast meat are dry) but it was soooo tender and pleasantly fragrant that i gobbled all of it down, even without the sauce.

Next up was Deep-Fried Crispy Chicken with Hot Sesame Sauce, again the meat was tender and thigh bits were succulent. Not spicy at all for those who cant eat chilli yet spicy enough for a tongue trigger. My mother loves it for its crispy yet not oily skin. However the Yeos in the house all voted overall for the duck for its original taste and flavour.

5th dish that the waitress brought was Sauteed Broccoli with garlic, the dish that shocked my mother most as it was the most costly. Even more expensive than our fowls.

Lastly to fill our stomachs was Fried Vermicelli with Seafood which was dressed to the brim with chokefuls of scallops bits and prawns. Nicely done. Not overfried, wet or runny, Just nice. oh did i say finally already? haha...okie, final finally was dessert. Herbal jelly for my sis (nothing special) dad and mum had the sesame paste (too sweet) , wj and i shared the mango pudding (thumbs up!) that was topped with fresh mango and just sweet enough and not too sweet.
