A bunch of friends and us went to Dainty Sichuan in South Yarra as I was craving Sichuan food, and we saw that it had really high ratings on Urbanspoon. When we got there, we saw the clientele was 80% Chinese-20% Caucasian, which was a pretty good sign. Had it been the other way round, we would have left.
There were around 7 people, so we ordered 5 main dishes and 2 starters, which worked out well for us.
The tea tree mushrooms with dried bean curd and vegetables was all right. Not bad, but nothing to crow about.
The 辣子鸡 was pretty good. I would head back there just for this dish.
We also had eggplant served with a sweetish spicy sauce, which was fabulous with hot steamed rice especially in the cold weather.
The green beans were pretty boring, but the tofu with preserved egg, spring onions and garlic sauce was really tasty.
The main star of the evening was this fish that came with all the hot spices on top of the grill. Really tasty, and it was a good serve.
Everyone was happy - definitely a meal none of us regretted
The bill worked out to just under $30 per person, including drinks. Definitely a place worth going back to, although we all had fiery gastrointestinal tracts and bottoms the following day.
