Dec 14 Dining -Shisen Hanten @ Mandarin Orchard Hotel - meritushotels group

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro


Sichuan restaurant features a chef from Japan who proudly carries on a family tradition that started when the first of the famed Shisen Hanten chain of restaurants opened in Japan in 1958.

Nice ambient : 

Private dining for 8 pax : 


Other area : 

 Happy YJ :)
Yes I will always bring YJ along.
He already had his lunch (porridge with fish & pork) but he still want our food @_@
We give him some bite of the dim sum.
The restaurant serve baby food too-porridge & noodles but not ordering for YJ who just had his lunch before we come here. 
Dishes we had : 
Mapo Doufu - (signature)
Deep-fried Chicken in Spicy Szechwan Chilli Pepper(signature )
Hot spicy soup
& some dim sum


 Deep-fried Chicken in Spicy Szechwan Chilli 


Hot spicy soup
I love the warmer for the soup which will keep the soup hot.
 Something different : Wasabi Prawn
The taste is just nice but few prawn cost $28.
Be prepared all the dishes taste (except wasabi prawn & dim sum) very authentic Sichuan but not very strong version.I been there their version is stronger & more oily so not too bad.It is quite refreshing to have such a meal. Their signature dishes are unlike Singapore version.
E.g Mapo Doufu-will never taste very different from the usual in Singapore chinese restaurants.
My mum & my bro find the food very refreshing & nice.
For me ,I am not very fancy in authentic Sichuan taste.
Ever stayed there for a period.
That time it was quite refreshing for me that I eat quite a number of their authentic meals in a day for days until very sick of the food. 

The price is reasonable despite it is located in this hotel , high storey with view & nice ambient.
We spent ard $140 for this include dessert after 20% DBS /POSB CC discount
