Szechuan Kitchen @ Fairmont Hotel

Szechuan Kitchen is the casual spin off from Szechuan Court. Their dimsum brunch is purportedly famous so I was game enough to attempt their dimsum for dinner despite it being way past the usual dimsum brunch hours.

table

Cosy corner.

counter

I like starring at the counters and watching chefs cook, especially chinese ones. 

peanuts

Regular szechuan court appetizers.

Crabmeat Dumpling ($6.80)

siewmai
Siewmai ($7.80)

These dimsum staples ended up stale, the aftertaste was not palatable and was clearly reheated.

rice roll

Rice Roll ($6.80)

To second the suspicions, these were hardly smooth nor silken but on par with the breakfast chee cheong fun that I’d get at a hawker center.

BBQ Pork Pastry ($5.80)

char siew sou

Served lukewarm, these were manageable but I have definitely tasted better elsewhere.

Chicken Noodle ($8)

noodles

Highly recommended by the server and for once I was grateful for it – proving to be the best dish of the night. Though just blanched and doused in minced meat sauce, it was served piping hot and was really appetizing even though the noodles were a tad too soft.

Once again disappointed by Szechuan Court. At this rate, their ala carte is tons better but definitely top of mind recall when it comes to having Szechuan food.
