Xing Fu Yi Zhan (Yulei Third Street)

Furnished like a vintage staging post, this restaurant whisks you back in time. Feel free to join the servers and dress up in period costume for a selfie. The Sichuanese head chef feeds hungry patrons with Chongqing-style cooking characterised by rich, intense flavours. Stir-fried dried pork with smoked bamboo shoot packs serious wok hei and a hint of smokiness. On the shelves, local liquors are on display, including some brewed in-house.
