Spicy Sichuan Wonders from Chengdu Taste

Chengdu Taste is a hidden gem on Eat Street, known for its authentic Sichuan cuisine. This week, their Mapo Tofu is a must-try. The silken tofu is swimming in a fiery, numbing sauce that’s both intensely flavorful and surprisingly addictive.

They’ve also recently added a Sichuan peppercorn-crusted fish, a delightfully crispy and aromatic dish that’s a perfect balance of spice and subtle sweetness. If you’re feeling brave, ask for their “extra spicy” option – but be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart!

Authentic Vietnamese Banh Mi from Saigon Street Eats

Saigon Street Eats has been a Eat Street staple for years, and for good reason. Their banh mi are legendary. This week, their special, the “Lechon Banh Mi,” is a standout.
