Si Chuan Restaurant

If DIY cooking with a boiling pot of soup in the middle of the table with a bunch of mates is your idea for a meal, then GET LOST. Just joking. It’s hot pot action at Si Chuan Restaurant in one of many Sydney Chinatown hubs at Burwood.

Half chicken of stock and jujubes (red dates), half spicy with plenty of dried chilli and garlic cooking soups is a good option. There is no shame in going for the extra mild soup, as how they consider the heat of normal to be “normal” is beyond me, unless they have developed iron cast stomachs. The menu checklist standard issue, fish, shrimp, beef and pork balls, dumplings, beef and pork slices, mushrooms, tofu and noodles are all there to choose from.

What you won’t have a choice in is the smell that you’ll leave with, which calls for a DIY washing job. Your mates probably won’t help you with that one.
