Price: $$
Cravingness: ★★★★★
Due to my job nature, I have to travel to Foshan, China pretty often. For this reason, I got addicted to spicy Sichuan cuisine. I found Little Chilli online and went to try it out. To be honest the location isn't convenient at all. It is between North Point and Fortress Hill. It is slightly closer to North Point, yet you still need to take several minutes walk from the MTR to get to the restaurant. Saying that, this restaurant does worth these minutes of walk and here is why.
There is nothing more important than having real genuine Sichuan Cuisine. While most restaurant adapts localisation, Little Chilli provides Hot Yummy genuine Sichuan dishes. I could literally tell whether a restaurant provides genuine traditional dishes as I have tasted a lot of Sichuan Cuisine in Foshan, and Little Chilli is definitely one of them. One of the reasons behind is because the restaurant is run by real Sichuan people. I have had now tried Little Chilli for several times, and among all the dishes there are 3 that I Love and are SO GOOD that should not be missed.
House Special | Little Chilli Spicy Fried Rice (小辣椒炒飯)
It is the BEST of the best. Normally people will not order fried rice as white rice might be enough to go with the already spicy Sichuan Dishes. Yet Little Chilli Spicy Fried Rice is something that you should not miss. It is a very spicy dish with a strong fantastic scent. Hot red chilli pepper, scramble egg, spam bacon and green onion bits are scattered around the Little chilli Fried Rice, and every spoonful of it gives you the satisfaction you could never imagine without trying it in person. All you could do is keeping on craving it bowl after bowl.
Boiled Beef Fillet in Hot Spicy Sauce (水煮牛)
The Boiled Beef Fillet in Hot Spicy Sauce is a traditional dish that most likely could be observed on Sichuan dinning table. Served on a pot with hot red chilli pepper and slices of beef floating on top of the spicy hot chilli sauce, colouring with drizzles of green onion to complete the mouth drooling look. The beef fillet is killingly good, and if you like spicy, you could always try the bean sprouts dipped down the pot, all soaked and absorbed the essence of the spicy sauce. Yummmmmm.
Spicy Dumplings (麻辣餃子)
Equally yummy is the spicy dumplings. Served on a hot chilli sauce, it is nicely wrapped with generous amount of pork and veggie with sprinkles of peanuts and green onions on top. This is really really good and usually a back order is expected.
If you love spicy food, I highly recommend you to try Little Chilli. I reckon it is the best Sichuan restaurant with reasonable and definitely affordable price in Hong Kong. Yet, if you are looking for fancy furnishing and excellent services, you should always go to more high end restaurants. While if you are looking for real genuine Sichuan food, Little Chilli should be your best choice.
P.S. They do not provide table reservation service, be prepared to wait for a bit if you are coming in a big group.
