Yi Qi Pin Lao Si Chuan 老四川 - New Bridge Road

Sichuan food is known for its fire and spice, drawn from plentiful chillies and the local peppercorn, which has a numbing effect. Aside from this, the cuisine of this inland Chinese region is famed for using unusual ingredients, particularly proteins that Western palates – or indeed, non-Chinese palates – might find somewhat outlandish. At Yi Qi Lao Si Chuan on New Bridge Road in Singapore’s Clarke Quay – just on the edge of Chinatown, close to the Downtown Core – you can try a snake head sliced fish in a hot and spicy sauce, or a Sichuan-style fried frog, or even a wok-braised pig intestine. If you bring your biggest appetite, a whole load of mates and an open mind to the table with you at Yi Qi Lao Si Chuan, you’ll not go home disappointed – as long as you remember to book a table too! Visit them via Clarke Quay MTR station and simply wander around the corner to New Bridge Road.
