10. Restoran Sichuan Cuisine
Malaysians are no strangers to the allure of spicy foods, even if they have a kick that burns! One of the top contenders in satiating these spicy tastebuds is none other than Sichuan Mala cuisine, and Restaurant Sichuan cuisine need not explain their speciality further. Their pride is in serving authentic Sichuan cuisine, and their oriental decors complement perfectly in immersing customers into the world of Sichuan. We recommend their Chongqing-style dry-fried chicken because it’s incredibly fragrant from the dried chillies and peppercorn; it’s also incredibly numbing hot!
