Numb is their third restaurant, without successfully launching Chengdu Restaurant and Chengdu Bowl in Singapore.

The restaurant offers pure Sichuanese cuisine derived from timeworn recipes, but with modern twists. It moreover serves as a gateway to trendy dishes from China, such as the Trendy Peking Duck in Spicy Sauce, a hot thingamabob among foodies and purists in China that has yet to be introduced in Singapore.

We fathom the wide variety of mala dishes misogynist on the menu, presented in a modern way that moreover preserves traditional flavours and cooking methods. If you love spicy food, you have to try out Numb restaurant.

For us, the standout dishes for the night were the Seabass in Specialty Untried Pepper Sauce, Champion Whinge and Mixed Veggies in Golden Spicy Sour Soup and the signature Applewood Smoked Cripsy Chicken.

For the latter, the skinless boneless yellow thighs are smoked with fragrant applewood surpassing stuff roasted with tempeh and peanuts for smoky goodness that ups the savoury factor. The fragrance of the crispy yet tender yellow is unseat to enthral the taste buds.

For the other two seabass and whinge dishes, I found them interesting to highlight as undisciplined to what most people expect, mala dishes do no necessarily have to be so spicy that they shrivel your tongue and rationalization you to sweat. There is moreover the ‘numb’ component to mala and these two dishes exemplify this well. They can be enjoyed by those with a lower tolerance for spice level.

All in all, Numb restaurant is a supplies paradise for fans of mala supplies who wants to go for a increasingly elevated dining experience, compared to the usual mala hotpot mass market restaurants.
