During my visit to Chen's Kitchen, I was truly impressed by how Chef Chen Kentaro masterfully blends authentic Szechuan flavors with refined Japanese cooking techniques. One dish I highly recommend is the Jade (Spinach), which features plant-based minced meat and silken tofu immersed in a fragrant spinach and Szechuan peppercorn broth—a perfect option for plant-based diners seeking depth in flavor. The Black Sweet and Sour Pork stood out with its crispy Kurobuta pork glazed in Japanese Kurozu vinegar sauce, delivering a delightful balance of tanginess and umami. Another favorite was the Mala Mayo Prawns, crispy and wok-tossed in a spicy mala mayonnaise that provides just the right kick. Besides the savory dishes, the Chilled Szechwan Jelly dessert offers a refreshing end to the meal with a mix of dried fruits, nuts, and a splash of kuromitsu syrup—sweet yet light. The drink options, such as the Sparkling Ume and Yuzu Breeze mocktails, provide a refreshing complement to the bold and spicy flavors. Chen’s Kitchen’s presence in various prime locations like Paragon and The Star Vista makes it convenient to experience this innovative cuisine. The weekday set lunch from $21.80++ is a great value, featuring curated courses that showcase the best of the menu. Overall, the experience at Chen's Kitchen is both a culinary adventure and a comforting journey through reimagined Chuka Ryori. Whether you're a fan of bold spices or new to this fusion style, it's worth a visit to enjoy fresh, exciting flavors crafted by a Michelin-starred chef.
