Lifestyle Asia: Chilli Fagara’s Chong Qing tasting menu
Maintaining its spot upon the Michelin Recommended Guide for 11 consecutive years, Old Bailey’s Sichuanese eatery Chilli Fagara has proven to be expert in balancing the ma, la, tang flavour pillars of the fiery cuisine. To demonstrate, Chong Qing-born chef Chan and daughter Tracy have devised a special eight-course menu to showcase the restaurant’s take on popular central Chininese dishes. It includes Deng Ying Beef, crispy fried beef slices coated in chef Chan’s own chilli sauce; The Pearl of the Orient, a Hong Kong-influenced dish of cherry wood-infused chicken wrapped in fresh longan; and a nod to tradition with the region’s own take on the Dan Dan Noodles, dry-mixed with minced meat and noodles.
