Some folks dream of striking gold, but me? I dream of striking chili oil. As a proud daughter of Chengdu, my taste buds have been trained to navigate the treacherous landscape of Sichuan cuisine. So when I heard a new place simply named Chengdu Restaurant had opened in Central, I knew it was my sworn duty to investigate.

The venue’s parent, Xiangtianxia, is quite famous, having garnered international attention in 2013 when David Cameron visited one of its hotpot restaurants. To this day, the place displays a picture of the former British prime minister.
