The first Sichuan cuisine with a sharp focus on Chongqing delicacies restaurant will open on September 6
Galaxy Macau is adding another restaurant to its diverse collection of dining destinations this autumn with the launch of Spicy Sichuan. Set to open on September 6, 2023, Spicy Sichuan is the first restaurant at the award-winning integrated resort to serve authentic Sichuan and Chongqing cuisine and is sure to delight lovers of tingling hot flavours. Spicy Sichuan is also the latest culinary concept at Galaxy Macau to support the Macau SAR Government’s Tourism + Gastronomy initiative and further underlines Macau’s status as a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy.
Helmed by veteran chef Jerry Xing Yu Cheng, a Sichuan native with more than two decades of experience at celebrated restaurants such as Lao Fang Zi and 1881, Spicy Sichuan specialises in the region’s unmistakable spicy, tingling hot, fresh and fragrant cuisine. Selecting only the finest ingredients, Chef Xing, Sous Chef Deng Xin from Chongqing and their team use technical excellence to infuse traditional favourites numb, spicy, fragrant, salty, sweet, sour and bitter with innovation, serving up exquisitely presented, perfectly balanced dishes that are among the city’s finest.
“There are 24 flavours in Sichuan cuisine,” explains Chef Xing. “Variations in balance and combination result in different dishes. The saying ‘one dish, one style; one hundred dishes, one hundred flavours’ aptly sums up the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine. Spicy, tingling hot, fresh and fragrant—every flavour is distinct. To present the cuisine in its authentic glory, we commit to the use of local ingredients and traditional techniques.”
Spicy Sichuan’s menu presents a thrilling culinary journey through the region, from the mildly spiced marinated chilli dishes of Chengdu to Chongqing’s fiery classics, complemented by an extensive selection of premium Sichuan teas and spirits.
