This was actually two restaurants in one (#B1-16 Chinatown Point, 133 New Bridge Road, tel : +65 8128 2371). If I'm not mistaken 青花椒 does the soup/stew stuff while 精悦蓉 does the griddle items including the bullfrogs. We ordered one of their sets which I thought was good showcase of what they have. It was also the only way we could get the smaller portion of griddled bullfrogs.
The set came with a main dish, an appetizer, a side dish, a vegetable dish and rice. We picked their griddled bullfrog. Black bean flavour. Not bad. I did imagine the frogs to be bigger though. I realized that there was an external sweetness to the flavouring when I ate the fermented black beans because these are generally just salty. Those slices of corn were delicious and the lotus roots were sweet and crunchy!
口水鸡 was a lot less tame than the fiery colour suggested. There's a little heat but I personally felt it had more salt than spice. This was chilled and I liked that the sesame added their layer of texture and aroma to it.
This was their spicy sour fatty beef (酸辣金汤肥牛). Look at those defined strata of fat and meat on the thinly sliced beef. Loved this. In it were strips of some gourd and thick glass noodles which were slurpalicious. Broth was both spicy, sour and layered with the flavour of Szechuan peppercorn. I will be back for this.
Competent rendition of 四季豆 which featured Szechuan peppercorns as well.
Gotta have something to catch the sauces and soup.
Dessert is gotten from a small bar and self served. If anyone was wondering, it's broken haw flakes, fermented rice, raisins and crushed peanuts from 12 clockwise. There's some transparent jelly and it's drizzled with brown sugar/kuromitsu.
