Sichuan Village Restaurant

Hi guys, sorry for the very very long hiatus. I have been busy with work and tend to procrastinate everytime I have freetime to update this site. Well, I have recently finished a tiring shoot and will be taking some time off so here I am :)

Lately there have been an abundance of Sichuan restaurants opening up around Klang Valley. Most of these outlet owners and their staffs are from Mainland China. Me and a few friends wanted to look for an ayam penyet restaurant at Dataran Mentari but found this place by chance.




Sichuan Village is situated along the shoplots right opposite Sunway Pyramid. Parking is ample. Just keep an eye out for Baso Indonesian Cuisine, Sichuan Village is at the right hand corner.





Like most other Sichuan establishments, you are greeted with cabinets filled with Chinese rice wine and fermented sorghum.



Kweichow Moutai is one of the most famous fermented sorghum brand and is available at most establisments serving authentic Chinese food. It comes in two variations of alcohol content, 53% and 35% and it leaves an aftertaste similar to soy-sauce.



The appetizers served here is not up to par with other Sichuan restaurants. Peanuts coated with flour and sesame seeds, pickled papaya and not sure about the third dish. Looks like jellyfish but taste like tree bark.




Pork and chives bun


I would definately not recommend this dish. It tastes as though the bun has been left out for days and microwaved to be served.



Pork belly in garlic

I really liked this dish. The garlic wasn't overpowering but added a nice zing to the cold pork belly. A slice of cucumber is included in each piece of pork so you won't be overwhelmed by the pork fat.


Stir-fried french beans

This is another winner. The beans are fresh and crunchy, stir-fried in shrimps and dried chillies.


Fresh hand-cut noodles


I have mixed feelings for this dish. The texture of the noodle is awesome, soft,smooth and not too chewy. The taste is something else though. I don't taste anything besides the spicy broth ! I wonder how a dish which looks this tasty can end up tasting so bland.


Smoked duck Sichuan style

This will go so well with beers. The aromatic smoked duck is stir fried in dried chilly, Sichuan peppercorns and spring onions. Absolutely delicious. A spicy dish that complements all kinds of alcoholic beverages.



Cattle tendons


This is a tricky dish. I love tendons and it's a healthy substitute to fats. The sauce again is Sichuan style mixed with celery. The tendons... is unlike anything I have seen or taste. The tendons I've tried is usually gooey or chewy. This..this abomination tastes nothing like the ones I've had. It feels like I'm chewing on bear hide and it doesn't help that the pieces look like friggin cow nipples. My tastebuds will never be the same again.. I would not even think of serving this platter of nipples to my enemies.



Complimentary desert after torturing our tastebuds with the previous dish



This has been an interesting experience. The good dishes actually equals the bad ones. I will probably try out other items on their menu and their steamboat when I'm in the area and can't decide on anything else to eat.

Yellow Cab Pizza is a chain of American style pizzarias with a branch in Jln Raja Abdullah near Heritage row and opening soon in Ampang and Midvalley Megamall. The name Yellow Cab is inspired by the famous yellow taxis of New York City and many of the pizzas have New York themes. This is a novel idea as most of the pizza outlets in KL have the same look and feel.




I was greeted by the cute delivery vespas upon entering their premise.
















Yellow Cab Pizza is reminiscent to the 70's tv series 'Taxi'.
I almost expected Danny Devito's character 'Louie' to jump at me. Yellow Cab Pizza exudes an unrivalled Americana charm and with their choice of nostalgic music makes me feel as though I've stepped back into time.















Diners are advised to dine al fresco for dinner and supper as it can get awfully hot and dusty during the day.




The Four Seasons Pizza is a gourmet sampler which consists of New York Classic, #4 Cheese, Anchovy Lovers and Roasted Garlic & Shrimp. New York Classic is basically beef pepperoni pizza and #4 Cheese has mozzarella, cheddar, romano and feta toppings. The other 2 are self explanatory. This pizza is highly recommended for those who likes to try different types of flavours.





Tribeca Mushroom Pizza is topped with shiitake, button and oyster mushrooms and it's a must-try for mushroom lovers. It's heavenly as the juices from all the mushrooms blends with the cheese.


Yellow Cab Pizza serves mean ass pizzas ! Prices range from Rm19 for 10" to Rm69.70 for the 18". It might seem pricey but the ingredients used is definately better than your run-off-the-mill pizza (domino, pizza hut anyone ?)For those of you who likes pizza after a night of partying, Yello Cab opens until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays :) with exception of Ramadhan.

Love generation

What's the world coming too ? There's hardly anything good on the news nowadays. Wars being fought in so many countries.
Even in Malaysia with the political instability and the bullshit racist remarks being uttered by the very people who is supposed to represent us, the Rakyat.
Take a chillpill people....

Enjoy the video and spread the love !
