Tiong Hua Restaurant
Tiong Hua Restaurant is a great place to try Si Chuan and Hunan cuisines together. You can select the level of spice you like when you order.
The steamed fish flesh with chili sauce is a must-order. The red and delicious gravy is topped with steamed fish flesh and more garlic to make it more appealing and more spicy. Tiong Hua Restaurant uses only the best fish to make this spicy dish.
This allows their guests to enjoy the natural sweetness in the fish flesh with every bite. Si Chuan cuisine allows you to finish a large bowl of white rice with only the fish flesh and delicious gravy.

Stir-fried chicken inner parts are very chewy and cooked until the sauce has absorbed into the chicken. Enjoy this Si Chuan-inspired spicy and delicious cuisine by opening a can of cold beer.
Tiong Hua Restaurant also recommends Ma Po Tofu, or ‘Pockmarked Granny’ Beancurd. Their Ma Po Tofu, despite its fiery red appearance is not too spicy or oily because it is cooked with a chili-based sauce. This dish is also rich in minced meat and tofu, which makes it well worth the cost.
It is also worth trying the potato slices or steam tofu, which are both delicious and affordable. The majority of the dishes cost less than RM35, with the exception of some special dishes made with fish head, beef and frog.

- Yi Ping Xiang
Si Chuan steamed fish is a unique way to challenge your taste buds. The steamed fish will still taste sweet, despite the red hot sauce. You can also choose how spicy you want your fish to be when you order. You will most likely order again!
Their Si Chuan Spicy Crustaceans are another recommended dish from Yi Ping Xiang. Crustaceans are also called the little lobster in China. They are often cooked in a Si Chuan hot sauce that is extremely spicy and can be referred to as “ma xiao” (spicy little lobster).
Although it has a chewier texture than prawns or shrimps, they are still relatively cheaper. After peeling off the skin, you can dip these little lobsters in a mix of soy and chilli sauce. This Si Chuan delight can be enjoyed with a can of beer or an icy cold beer for additional pleasure.
For all foodies who crave spicy foods at midnight, this is a shout-out. Yi Ping Xiang now operates late and offers midnight Si Chuan Chuang Chuang Guo, or Si Chuan Hot Pot. They also offer BBQ.
Remember to take a break at Yi Ping Xiang between 3 and 5pm.
