With its fairy-light facade winking across Broadway, this newish hotspot is as gaudily unsubtle as Sichuan cuisine. Front-of-house, studenty types race around, wearing black pantaloons, their lucky-red silk jackets pinned with teddy-bear-cutesy yellow plastic ID tags. The full-colour photo menu takes you through Sichuan fare in all its chilli-vermilion garishness. Jump in where it's hot with a chilli-laced three delicacies cold dish combo ($18.80): deep fried fish smeared with dark-cured soy beans, spicy chicken in sesame paste and lightly vinegared pickled veg. Less piquant is a lacey doily of Sichuan fried dumplings: soup-squirting parcels fried in a frilly disc ($7.80) or green beans with pork mince (pictured) ($12.80). Fire up again with whole fish on a bed of dried chillies ($28) or cumin and Sichuan-pepper-crusted beef in brick-red chilli oil ($18.80). Litres of Chinese tea are the best foil for the capsaicin
