Sichuan Omakase

Many of us were fans of Chef Kaitak Chan's innovative take on Sichuan dishes combining traditional and modern techniques, so with the pending (temporary) closure of his restaurant Yun Yan at its current Causeway Bay location, we decided to go one last time to say goodbye. And to make it more interesting, this time we asked Chef Chan to prepare a special menu for us, Sichuan omakase style.

First Time at Yun Yan

I don't do hot and spicy dishes often but I have been craving for Sichuanese food for a while for some reasons (Must be the cold weather, I reckon). So I thought the timing was just perfect when we were invited to check out the new tasting menu at Yun Yan, Mira Dining's Sichuan restaurant in Times Square a couple weeks ago.
