Qi – House of Sichuan

You'll be crying out for milk and mercy at Qi – House of Sichuan. The one-Michelin-starred spicy import from Hong Kong will have you sweating over dishes like Bang Bang chicken in peanut sauce, its take on the classic Sichuan appetiser, where shredded chicken and greens are doused in a fiery peanut gravy and topped with fresh chillis. Turn things up a notch by digging into its braised grouper fish fillet in chilli oil soup, a large bowl meant for sharing that's overflowing with dried chilli peppers, garlic, basil, and fish. The soup isn't as oily as the traditional version, which means you're welcomed to down a bowl if you dare. People with no spice tolerance aren't forgotten either – its best-selling sugar-glazed ginger and scallion beef is a welcomed respite from all that chilli.
