Big Chicken Plate @ Huya Chaoji

The menu said the green pepper plate was slightly spicy. I forgot it was “Asian” spicy – they really loaded up with the Sichuan peppercorns. It’s not SUPER hot, but it paralyzed my lips for the next 90 minutes.

Hanu Beef @ Jinmi Eonyang Bulgogi

Great place for a nosh after strolling through the nearby beach area. If going in the cold, ensure your jackets are well away from the smoke, otherwise it’ll stink up real bad. XD

Wedding Reception Dinner

Lamb Shanks @ Platform 270

Despite it being technically “Spring”, the lamb shanks and polenta goes very well with the winter weather that isn’t letting up. They’re right next to Flinders Street Station, hence the name.

Boxing for my Dinner @ Haidilao

After such a long time of seeing reels on Instagram, I finally tried dining at Haidilao. Apart from having a huge menu, I’m simply surprised by the loads of free stuff offered on the side, from free chips and ice cream while you wait, to a full-blown nail salon and shirt tie-dyeing! One thing that caught my eye was the boxing challenge to get up to 20% off the bill. Had a few practice rounds before I did an attempt, but fortunately someone who went before me showed the best trick: repeatedly hitting the last two spots where the lights appeared to rapidly get points. Thanks to that, I got on the leaderboard and that 20% discount. From the large bill racked up by the family group that night, the 20% really added up.
